Jun-09-08 S Marder vs J Hector, 2001 
| |
| GreenCastle: Interesting to note that Jonny Hector play the Veresov for White. This 2..e5 business is curious. 4.Nb5 Nc6 5.Nf3 Bc5 6.Bg5! followed by c3 is already better for White. |

| |
| GreenCastle: Steve's father is Robert Kazmierczak, but I doubt Robert was under 18 years old in 2001. So I'm guessing no. |

| GreenCastle: http://myespn.go.com/s/conversation...
The reaction of most people who don't play chess in this thread is sad. They can't look past Fischer's antisemitism or 9-11 remarks and appreciate what he accomplished for chess and his country. |

| GreenCastle: I've analyzed this and I can't find a significant mistake by either side... truly a thing of beauty :) |

Nov-24-07 Rubinstein vs J Mieses, 1905
| |
| GreenCastle: 18...Qxc5 loses an exchange to 19.Bc4+ Kh8 20.Bd6 Qb6 21.Bf7

The Re8 cannot escape the fury of White's bishops (..Rd8 Be7) |

| GreenCastle: <whiteshark: 1. Rh1+ Kb2 2. Ra1! Kxa1 3. Kc2!>
Does 1.d5 also work?
1.d5 exd5 2.Kc3 a1=Q+ 3.Kb3 and Black can't stop Rh1+.
[DIAGRAM]
1...exd5 2.Kc3 a1=N 3.Rd2 Kc1 is a possible defense, I guess.

Sep-12-07 Alekhine vs J A Seitz, 1925
| |
| GreenCastle: 22.♖g8+! ♔ moves 23.gxh3
There is no good way to meet the threat of Bxc6. Black will be down a whole rook. |

Sep-12-07 Petrosian vs Flohr, 1942
| |
| GreenCastle: <ChessDude33> 5...♘xf2 6.♔xf2 ♕h4+ 7.g3 ♕xe4 8.♘f3 ♗c5+ is hardly 'silly'. Still, Black probably doesn't have enough for the piece as it is difficult to get his pieces out. |
