Korora Member since Mar-09-18 · Last seen Dec-18-21 I'm more of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. Chess, Shatranj, Xiangqi, Janggi, Shogi, Makruk, and a few I've made up for pending sci-fi stories.

Korora has kibitzed 237 times to chessgames   [more...]

Dec-18-21 J Schulten vs Morphy, 1857   Korora: So I can honestly claim to have played as well as Paul Morphy.      Feb-06-21 H Tikkanen vs N J Fries-Nielsen, 2015   Korora: <WTHarvey>: A rather short period of mourning by the widower, I must say. ;þ      Feb-06-21 V Jorquera Cabello vs E Barbosa, 2014    Korora: <Both sides misplayed the the ending from here...> Well, they say the winner is the one who blunders next-to-last.      Feb-04-21 Barbero vs Jansa, 1995    Korora: <Resignation because of 33 ... Qh4+ 34 Kg2 Nxg1 35 R(or K)xg1 Qxf4 36 exf4 Rxe2 37 Nxe2 Rxe2 with a winning endgame.> ♔, ♖, and five ♙s against ♔, ♖, and seven ♙s, and two of the five are doubled (with one of those pinned). Black is aiming at      Feb-01-21 K Burger vs C Lyon, 1952    Korora: Got it for once!      Jan-26-21 K Markova vs P Stehno, 1994   Korora: White tries the Fried Liver attack only to end up slicing onions.      Jan-25-21 Biographer Bistro    Korora: For accuracy's sake, Santa Claus' country of origin should be listed as "Roman Empire". His federation can remain "North Pole".      Jan-23-21 W Adams vs G Kramer, 1946    Korora: <You gotta wonder what Weaver was smoking> Maybe like in Amos Burn's Pipe Game, he was fumbling for his matches. ;þ      Jan-23-21 D E Vigorito vs A Kovacevic, 2003    Korora: <Wasn't easy.> I figured there was a sac involved; that was as far as I got.      Jan-20-21 Carlsen vs Firouzja, 2021    Korora: Carlsen'll chase Firouzja's ♔ out and then all hail the mighty ♙!
