Nov-07-20 Yagupov vs A Rustemov, 1995 
| |
| Jamboree: "agb2002:
26.? is an impossible puzzle even if the players spent the first moves moving the knights forth and back: the move number would be odd." You've actually raised a very interesting question: What if the knights switched sides -- such that on the 26th move, the knight at b1 |

Sep-10-20 Fressinet vs N Brunner, 2011
| |
| Jamboree: The tactics continue after 23. Qh8+ -- so I think black resigned prematurely. After 23. Qh8+, black can try 23. ... KxQ 24. Nxf7+ Kg8 25. Nxd8 Bd5!, and now, momentarily, the knight is trapped, and white must play precisely to rescue it, because in two moves black will snap off ... |

Sep-07-20 W Hodges vs C E Ranken, 1851
| |
| Jamboree: Obviously 30. ... Qa2?? was a pointless and unnecessary blunder, hanging the queen for a rook. Most any other move for black would have left him with a better endgame with 2 Bs vs. a R. Even so, after the game continuation, black "blundered" again after white's 32nd move with 32. ... |

Sep-04-20 M Levin vs Savon, 1959
| |
| Jamboree: "Abdunnaser: [31] . Qxe3 should be better for white." That's true. Instead of 31. Rg4?, it seems white can do much better with 31. Qxe3! . In fact, after that, I can't see a win for black any more. 31. Qxe3 BxR+ 32. Kh2 and where's the win? White can even sac back the exchange with |

| Jamboree: OK, 24 hours later, and now most of the problems have cleared up for me -- sidebars returned. Only issue that remains is that all the elements of the "Advanced Search" section are still center-aligned in the main page's center columns, a design which looks odd. |

Aug-21-20 Yusupov vs K Spraggett, 1989
| |
| Jamboree: This must be one of those "the game line is NOT the best line" problems-of-the-day. 37. g6+ mates quicker and is more obvious than the game line, as various commenters have noted above. The longest black can last is
37. g6+ Kh6 38. Bf5 Rc2+ 39. Bxc2 Re8 40. Rxe8 Kh5 41. Kf3 Bxd6 ... |

| Jamboree: "Big Pawn: How come none of these games for the last few months are being used to calculate ratings at 2700chess.com?" Because, I assume, that the ratings at 2700chess.com are based on FIDE-approved ratings of "real" games only, which by law must be in-person, face-to-face over the |

Aug-09-20 V Trickov vs A Pachmann, 1994

Aug-06-20 Maria Pradi Ramos Donaire vs Ashley Todd, 2020
| |
| Jamboree: This has to be just about the craziest game in the entire chessgames.com database. All I can imagine is that black thought she was playing a game of "giveaway chess" -- i.e. "losers," or "suicide chess," where the goal is to force your opponent to defeat you. How else to explain a ... |
