DieHard has kibitzed 45 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jul-31-22 Ulf Andersson    DieHard: Wish you all the best of your 70s Ulf! When your book comes out in English I will be first in line!      Jun-11-21 A Yusupov vs Sax, 1980   DieHard: Easy win for Artur! Makes an early Be2 look good      Jan-16-21 Reshevsky vs G W Beaumont, 1920   DieHard: Correction by move 16 he was in complete control. I like his tactical finesses with Qh5+ and Nxe5 Looking at his early games I try to imagine how he thought. I believe he truly looked at the board without preconceptions and without rules of thumb, with calculations focused on ...      Jan-14-21 Reshevsky vs Denker, 1934    DieHard: Denker had the advantage in that ending. The only reason I can imagine Denker played 39...g6? Was pressure to meet the time control.

Here it seems the best defense      Jan-13-21 Reshevsky vs Ed Lasker, 1922    DieHard: Sammy was an incredible fighter.      Jan-13-21 Reshevsky vs Saemisch, 1920   DieHard: I like Sammys lack of dogmatism in this game, being willing to give up the white bishop.      Jan-09-21 Samuel Reshevsky    DieHard: Reshevsky was a chess genius and a large body of his work is going to be lost if no action is taken. I am referring to his unrated correspondence play. He used to advertise in Chess Life that he would play you for $25 a game. I played three games against Reshevsky and have the ...
