Member since Sep-25-06 · Last seen May-19-25
Hello everybody. My name is Alfonso and I am from Spain. Some of my favourite players are Fischer, Capablanca, Alekhine, Morphy and the Romantics (Mac Donnell, Labourdonnais, Anderssen, Pillsbury), Lasker, Rubinstein, Nimzovitch, Reti (and the Hypermodernists), Botvinnik (and the Soviet School). I like also Karpov. (I don't mean to suggest that Kasparov is not a good player. I learnt to play chess at eleven, in 1984. When Karpov and Kasparov played in my country in 1987, I used to support Karpov.) You can add to the list Anand and Carlsen. In short, I like: -Romantic players.
- Positional games à la Capablanca, Karpov or Petrosian. -Ficher is my favourite player, and then possibly come Botvinnik, Capablanca, and the aforementioned. -Tal: I like him too. He was maybe apart from the "official" Russian School, so to say. It is for something he was called the Magician of Riga!

   May-14-25 V Malaniuk vs M Petr, 2006
 
Llera: I answer myself: Black plays 41...Nf6. If Black does not play 41...Nf6, his most plausible plan should be h6-g5-g4-Ne5 to try to play Nf3. Plus the long Black king manoeuver Kd8-Kc7-Kb6-Ka5-Kb4-Kc3...This is a try to go the g1 square, but this is not possible because the White king ...
 
   Feb-28-25 Kharlov vs S Arslanov, 2009
 
Llera: Black must have lost on time. In the final position, Black is clearly winning. It is a pity sometimes there is no feedback in the reader's commentary, so I would like to see some feedback...
 
   Feb-15-25 H Hamdouchi vs V Akopian, 2014
 
Llera: Not sure what happened in the actual game. Here white can make a draw by capturing on f7: 32...Kh7 33. Qxf7 Qxd2 34. Qf5+ Kh6 35. Qe6+ g6 36. Qf6 Rd8 37. Qxd8 Qxf2+ 38. Kh3 Qf1+ 39. Kh2 Kh7 40. Qe7+ Kg8 41. Qe8+ Kg7 42. Qd7+ Kf6 43. Qd8+ Kf7 44. Qd7+ Kg8 45. Qe8+ Kg7 46. Qd7+ Kf6 47. ...
 
   May-09-24 Alexsandr Serebro
 
Llera: <vonKrolock> <Amusing association of sound and sense... (серебро / serebro in Russian means 'silver'...)> "Cerebro" in Spanish means "brain"...
 
   May-05-24 Averbakh vs Taimanov, 1985
 
Llera: I do not understand why White lost but I have to think that the only explanation is he lost on time...
 
   Jan-18-24 Shirov vs Mamedyarov, 2008
 
Llera: <safar> "37...Rf2 38.Qxe5+ Kb6 39.Qd4+ Ka6 40.Ra7+ Kb5 41.Rb7+ and the White Q is lost." It is simply mate after 41.Rb7+ Ka6 42.Qa7#mate.
 
   Jan-16-24 Aronian vs Grischuk, 2011
 
Llera: <themindset> This game was commented by Étienne Bacrot in the French magazine Europe Échecs 610, May 2011 (Section: "Ouvertures & Idées Gagnantes": Winning Openings & Ideas=). Comment by Étienne Bacrot: "Les joueurs ont obtenu une position critique de la Benoni avec g3, via ...
 
   Nov-20-23 Motylev vs Karjakin, 2010
 
Llera: Anyone interested in opening theory: Polgar,J-Karjakin,S Khanty-Manstyk Olympiad 2010 (1/2-1/2) went exactly the same way. Polgar vs Karjakin, 2010 Caruana-Kramnik, Khanty-Mansty Olympiad 2010 (1/2-1/2), went the same way that these games but lasted 31 moves more and finished in a ...
