Derek880 has kibitzed 10 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-12-24 L Christiansen vs Alburt, 1981   Derek880: This was an easily won game by white. It seems like after 8 e6 was played, it was pretty much over. I've never understood why Lev Alburt stuck with the Alekhine's defense as long as he did. Especially when you end up with either cramped pieces or the type of bad pawn structure ...      May-31-21 Fischer vs Keres, 1959    Derek880: Fischer got bested by Keres in both of his games as White in this 1959 candidates tournament. Apparently, the Soviets were prepared for him as Petrosian, Smyslov, and Keres all ended up playing the Caro-Kann against him. Keres ended up with the most dominant positions as he seemed ...      Jan-27-16 Y Hou vs Eljanov, 2016    Derek880: After 31 Bxd4, the draw is still there for White I believe. I think the worst mistake was 34 Qe8??. Yifan missed the Rook ending after 34 Qxf5 Rxf5 35 cxb5 Rxb5 (35...axb5 36 Ra2 followed by a5-a6, but I think Black still draws this.) 36 Re8+ Kg7 37 Be2 and it seems like the Rook ...      Feb-15-10 Shabalov vs K Arkell, 1991    Derek880: 18 Rxd5!! exd5 19 e6! fxe6 (19...Bxe6 20 Nd4 ) 20 Nxe6 Bxe6 21 Qxe6+ Kd8 (21...Kf8 22 Ne5 Qe8 23 Nd7+ ) 22 Rd1      Jan-10-05 Granda Zuniga vs L Rojas Keim, 2004    Derek880: <patzer2> Ftacnik makes no mention of your line, but your 19 ...Nf3+!? seems just as playable as 19...Qd7.      Dec-01-04 de Firmian vs P Nikolic, 1985    Derek880: In Honza's line in which he suggests 20...c4, White can play 21 Qh5 Rf8 22 Bxh6 Qe8 23 Qg4      Aug-09-04 Kasparov vs Salov, 1989    Derek880: Gollum, after 17 e5!, Kasparov gives the following line 17...dxe5 18 Nc6 Bxc6 19 Bxc6+ Ke7 20 c5! Qc7 21 Qxa6 Rxd1+ (21...Qxc6 22 Qa7 Nd7 23 Rd6 and White is winning) 22 Rxd1 Qxc6 23 Qa7+ Ke8 24 Nc4 and White is winning. 17 e5! was a pretty strong move      Jul-21-04 Kharlov vs Dreev, 1991    Derek880: In Beating the French, by Gary Lane, he gives 15...Rxa1? a question mark with the following line: 16 Nd6+ Kf8 17 Ng5, and now he says that White is winning. Also, after 16...cxd3, White has 17 Ra8+ Bc8 18 Qxd3, and White is up the exchange. But, I agree, this is hardly "Game of the
