King.Arthur.Brazil
Member since Feb-27-09 · Last seen May-22-25
Now, I'm 66y old chess player, live in BELO HORIZONTE, in the center of BRAZIL. I played chess early as 11y, was 5th in JR championship 75, won 2 university team championship as 4th board 1977/78, 2nd in classification of my state championship/1983, when gave up chess for a long time, playing music. I included some of this games as commentary in "my favorite games" for other games which are unimportant easy tied.

I had played some games against the CHESSMASTER program, and had won some games "simulated" masters by the computer, including FLOHR, SMYSLOV, RESHEVSKY, NIMZOVITSCH and CAPABLANCA; sure is not easy to do it! Of course I spend much time, trying to win, go forth, go back; but the game has more resources than me, so I guess that is correct that I have a chance to go back some moves, as the computer can see everything on 10 moves ahead, or maybe more. However, my CD had become damaged and computer cannot read it anymore; so I cannot play against Chessmaster again. This is very sad.

My favorite players are RUBISTEIN, ALEKHINE (when he was sober), SMYSLOV, BOTVINNIK, FISCHER, POLUGAEVSKY, KASPAROV and me, of course.

I have a lot of bad results in competitions, as I had never time to really dedicate my self to won a championship, but I have some beautiful games, including those with computer, where I had played very good the endings. Sometimes, with little advantage, of course computer never give up, only when checkmate happens.

I felt very glad to give some destiny for my games, although I doubt someone will have interest to see them. I reach 1800 kibitz, and maybe already reproduced more than 2200 games. I would like to play a real tournament. But I doubt so much about the chess play today, since anyone can use computer programs in cell-fone to find best moves, while your brain is boiling to do one single move. Maybe this will come to be the end of our noble sport. You are welcome to see my page, hope that you like. And for you all of Chess-games my eternal gratitude for let me being here during this good time. Thank you so much!

PS. I had placed "Mecking" here BEFORE, to homage him. However, seeing his coward match against Polugaevsky, I simply cannot applause. I removed and I'm certain of doing this. He was our best player, but I hoped something more from him.

King.Arthur.Brazil: The king feels tempted by the 2 possibles sacrifices: Rxh6 or Bxh6. For the first: 17. Rxh6 gxh6 18. Bxh6 f5 19. gxf5 exf5 20. Qg1+ Kf7 21. Qg7+ Ke6 22. Bb5 Bf6 23. exf6 Qxf6 24. Ng5+ Ke5 25. Qc7+ Qd6 26. Bg7#. On the other option: 17. Bxh6 gxh6 18. Rxh6 f5 19. exf6 Bxf6 ...

King.Arthur.Brazil: <vajeer> Your variant is interesting, although W can replay differently as: <24...Nxf3+ 25. Kh1 Qh4 26. Nh3 Qxh3 27. gxh3 Nd4+ > 28. Qg2 Bxg2+ 29. Kxg2 Nxb3 30. Rc3 Nd2 31. Rd1 e4 32. Rc2 Nxb1 33. Rxb1 Bxb2 34. Rcxb2... W has lost 2P and maybe recover b6, but ...

King.Arthur.Brazil: The wrong way is the direct sacrifice: 17. Rxe7 Qxe7 18. Bh6 (If B try to save the ♖ with Rfe8?? 19. Qg4+ Kh8 20. Qg7#, of course) ... Kh8 (now, 19. Qg4? Tg8)19. Bxf8 Rxf8. 20. Qh5 f5 21. Bc2 Qf6 22. Bxf5 Qg7 23. Rd1 Ne7... Or best, 20. a3 Nc6 21. Qh5 f5 22. Bc2 Qf6

King.Arthur.Brazil: Let's try 38... Rf2+ (Capturing: 39.Rxf2 Qxf2+ 40. Kh1 Qg1#) 39. Kg3 (Now B cannot 39... Qxe2 40. Qh7#) Qc3+ 40. Kg4 and the king doesn't see any helping move.
 
   May-17-25 E Keogh vs A Jones, 1991 (replies)
 
King.Arthur.Brazil: In the game line, it was possible: 30... Tf8 (31. Qxe4? Bf3+ or 31. Bd6? R8 32. B moves Rd1 also wins the W♕). 31. Ba7 Rd8 32. Bd4 Bxd4 33. cxd4 Rxd4. The game's move finished quicker!
 
   May-16-25 R Rodriguez vs Tal, 1979
 
King.Arthur.Brazil: The king proposes: 70. h5 Kxh5 71. Rxd2 Rxd2 72. Rb1 Rb2 which stop any W counter-attack: If exchange Rs, the a3 P will be captured and a4 promotes. Or 73. Ra1 Rh2+ 74. Kxh2 Bxa1... any other move Rb3 and captures g3 or a3, without any W chances.
 
   May-16-25 Zvjaginsev vs Topalov, 1995 (replies)
 
King.Arthur.Brazil: Since B threatened checkmate with 34... Qg2# without easy defense, W is forced into this line: 33. Qh7+ Kxh7 34. Be6+ Kg6 35. Bxh3, although care must be taken to win the game. EX: 35... Bxe3 36. Rxe3 h5 37. Re6+ Kg7 38. Rxb6 g4 39. Bf1. W will protect his Q-side ♙ ...
