ICCM Bart Gibbons has kibitzed 49 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-07-20 Vaganian vs Spassky, 1985    ICCM Bart Gibbons: Retireborn: <perfidious> Yes, Byrne fell just half a point short in 1976 with another 2600 performance, nice wins against Smyslov and Larsen too. Very unfortunate for him; he deserves to be remembered for more than a couple of spectacular losses to Fischer. Robert ...      Jun-06-20 Capablanca vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1913   ICCM Bart Gibbons: It's surprising to me that although reference to Capa's comments in Chess Fundamentals was made here, nobody pointed out that Capa gave 23 Nd2 a question mark. Capa said 23 Rb3 was the right move.      Sep-26-19 Lagno vs Ju Wenjun, 2019   ICCM Bart Gibbons: A better plan for Black appears to be 20..e5 (countering an attack on the wing with play in the center).      Nov-24-18 C Golmayo vs Steinitz, 1883   ICCM Bart Gibbons: Black's 11th move,0-0,leads to the loss of the exchange. A better try is 11... Kd8.      Oct-19-18 C Brasket vs Szabo, 1977   ICCM Bart Gibbons: Either 13 Bf1 or Re5 look stronger than 13 c4, as played, because c4 weakens White's pawn structure.      Sep-04-18 Blackburne vs Showalter, 1889   ICCM Bart Gibbons: ughaibu: Thank you, glad you appreciated it. Legend has it that Pillsbury waited for the right opportunity to spring the improvement, but see the comment below: Sep-22-09 TheFocus: It is a commonly accepted myth that Pillsbury discovered Bxf6 and waited eight years to ...      Aug-04-18 de Firmian vs M Kobalia, 1999   ICCM Bart Gibbons: White's 32nd move b4 looks weakening. More solid appears to be 32 Rac1, supporting key squares on the c-file.      Jun-08-18 Foltys vs P Michel, 1939    ICCM Bart Gibbons: After 24...d4!, White cannot play 25 Nd4 (hoping to exploit Black's unguarded queen; if then 25...Qe2+ White can play 26 Ne2 with a pawn up) because of 25..Ng3+! 26 fg3 (forced) Bd3 winning White's queen.      Apr-27-18 Maggie Feng vs A Zatonskih, 2018    ICCM Bart Gibbons: Doesn't 22...Rd5 win a piece? If 23 cd5, then ... Qf3 is mate. If 23 Qg2, then ...d2 is winning, as it attacks White's rook on b1.      Apr-23-18 M Esserman vs Fedorowicz, 2011   ICCM Bart Gibbons: Perhaps Black should have tried 28...Rf4!?
