Nov-15-08 Dresden Olympiad (2008)
| |
| Ingolf: Re van Wely-Radjabov: <[About the game van Wely-Degraeve, 2000:] 20.Rh2. White avoids the critical line 20.fxe4 Rxf2 21.Kxf2 Rf8+ when Black has a dangerous attack for the sacrificed piece. Van Wely must have analysed this after the game, and judging by the fact that he is no ... |

Nov-09-08 Fedorov vs Z Lanka, 1997
| |
| Ingolf: I tried 19.Bd4 with the idea Bxd5 20.Qh6 which I thought forced mate (gxh6 21.Nxh6#). I had overlooked 20.- Bxg5 <check> 21.Qxg5 f6 covering g7. This position is still great for white though, about +1 according to Fritz. After 22.Qxg7+ Qxg7 23.Nxg7 Kxg7 24.exd5 e5 25.Be3, White |

Nov-06-08 Oll vs T Shaked, 1997
| |
| Ingolf: Thought it was black to move, so feeling pretty stupid. But at least it's better to make that mistake here than in a real game... |

| Ingolf: One thing's for sure, the bishop on g7 is the internal organ where the fire is generated. |

| Ingolf: they probably just needed new notation paper |

Aug-17-08 Van Wely vs J Piket, 1996
| |
| Ingolf: I'm slightly puzzled as to why on the front page we have the position after 29.h4, while everybody here seems to be commenting on move 25. I had the feeling it was becoming disturbingly easy to adapt to insanity, but apparently there is no need to worry about that yet. |

Jul-16-08 W N Watson vs P Thipsay, 1985
| |
| Ingolf: After 15.Nd6 black has Qg5 with the double threat of Qxg2 mate and Nh3+ winning the queen. (And the last part is even irrelevant because the mate cannot be prevented). |

Jul-13-08 A I Zakharov vs A I Petrushin, 1973
| |
| Ingolf: Another hour spent in a way people who don't play chess will never understand, but I got it! 49.Nh6+ (in the second line in the annotation) was the most tricky move to see, but it also took me a while to realise that in the first line, the pawn on f6 blocks the diagonal allowing the ... |

Jun-28-08 Dortmund Sparkassen (2008)
| |
| Ingolf: It looks like Mamedyarov will have a hard time holding on to that pawn. |
