LittleKibitzer Member since Apr-29-23 · Last seen May-15-25 I'm here to Kibitz. As a kid, I'd watch my parents play card games with friends and family. I'd ask questions, comment and learn. I didn't realize I was kibitzing. Now, for me, playing games is a great pastime, and chess is one of the best games. I'll comment on games that demonstrate great chess strategy. I'll use kibitzing to apply and develop my chess understanding. For example, I did a reading of Nimzowitsch's, My System, and I'd like to explore his concepts when analyzing games. When I kibitz, I'm not necessarily using an engine to analyze. I'm just speaking from my understanding of strategy! Keeping that in mind, I still welcome you to comment and improve upon my analysis. I'd love to learn from other users!

Mar-28-25 Bronstein vs Uhlmann, 1977   LittleKibitzer: <Astuces de l'ouverture> C'est comment les noirs s'adaptent qui est interessant. La marche du pion h est quelque chose de tres courant dans cette variante, on peut presumer. Puis, 19... Qd8 est peut-etre pour prevenir la menace de g4. Donc, il y a de lecons a ...      Mar-27-25 G Martinsen vs O Flater, 1956   LittleKibitzer: <Astuces de l'ouverture> C'est similar de la variante Zukertort, sauf que le fou est sur e2. L'echange des fous de cas noirs semble favoriser les noirs. Et, avec la poussee e5, les noirs peuvent achever plus d'activite. Ils ont un bon developpement. Donc, dans ...      Mar-26-25 G Mufic vs D Vargic, 2006   LittleKibitzer: <Astuces pour l'ouverture> Voici une posture plus aggressive envers le systeme de Londre. La dame sur b6 s'agit d'un bon developpement, et les blancs doivent repondre a cavalier h5. Curieusement, les noirs peuvent laisser le roi au centre. Il a ample protection ...      Mar-26-25 Karpov vs A Beliavsky, 1986   LittleKibitzer: <Reflections> On cherchait une consolation dans le gambit dame variation d'echange, une promesse d'une attaque ou au moins d'une victoire. Voici, on voit comment les noirs peuvent attaquer rapidement s'ils ont le courage a laisser tomber le cote de la dame, ...      Mar-23-25 Keene vs K Wockenfuss, 1977   LittleKibitzer: <Reflections> C'est interessant et meme necessaire de se demander qu'est-ce qu'on a dans une telle position pour en tirer un avantage, meme si on n'aime pas l'apparence. Ici, les blancs ont bien plus d'activite avec des colonnes ouvertes. Les blancs ont le ...      Mar-06-25 R Silva Nazzari vs Uhlmann, 1964   LittleKibitzer: I should have said, "9...f6 allows Black to bring the knight to g6* (correction). En bref, it's a useful move that does not entirely signal Black's intentions. Castling kingside it still possible. The move can also been seen in: J Blit vs A Giaccio, 2003      Mar-05-25 A M Soozankar vs S Volkov, 2016   LittleKibitzer: <Opening Tips> This is a great variation of the French Exchange with the knight on c6. It's flexible and potentially more aggressive with the possibility of castling long. In this game, Black reserves some flexibility with a preemptive h6, but he ends up castling ...      Feb-22-25 D Bocharov vs S Azarov, 2005   LittleKibitzer: <Opening Tips> This is a great model game for the Queen's Gambit Declined, Exchange Variation. 15...Rac8 is logical, as is the follow-up. White makes a kingside advance, but black is able to find ideal routes for his pieces. By the time black is able to get ...      Feb-15-24 Z Almasi vs Anand, 1997   LittleKibitzer: <Opening Tips> Unlike the Hedgehog structure, black develops the queen's knight to Nc6. And this allows black to later play Nfd7. This is an essential part of reinforcing e5. The knights work together, and the convenient development of the bishop, 9 Bg7, also helps ...      Jul-19-23 P Marusenko vs A Cohen Revivo, 2015   LittleKibitzer: <Opening Tips> There are some thematic moves in this game for the English Defense opening. Firstly, the Qc2-Bd3 battery seems natural. However, black scores well in this opening perhaps for his rapid development and activity. When white plays g3 and then f3, black ...
