Oct-16-09 Ehlvest vs J Fedorowicz, 1989    Micawbr: This game is the first game in Jan Pinski's book on the Benko Gambit as illustrative of the ideas from both the white and black perspective. Pinski has 24 .... Bd4+ which is correct, in place of 24... Qd4+ here.      Apr-20-09 J Gromek vs Z Boleslawski, 1956   Micawbr: Interesting. Good work <Bratek>      Mar-26-08 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    Micawbr: <ChessBookie> http://www.amberchess2008.com/ Score-Tables, Pairings / Results has an error in the round 11 Blind matchups: Gelfand-Anand should be Topalov-Ivanchuk. Gelfand and Anand play in Round 10. The Open Events Round 11 bets have the same error.      Mar-24-08 Morozevich vs Ivanchuk, 2008    Micawbr: 30 c7! wins the Knight on g2. 29... Qd8 attacks the loose rook on b6 and after the game contiuation of Rb4, black saves his piece with Nf4. 30 c7! is a novotny interference, 30 ... Rxc7 blocks the Queen from attacking the loose Rook and 30 ... Qc7 31 Rc6 protects the rook - in ...      Dec-09-07 Alexey Shirov    Micawbr: <cotdt: Ya Gata Believe!!> A blurb for the CG game of the day, if not in the past, then, hopefully soon!      Dec-09-07 Karjakin vs E Alekseev, 2007    Micawbr: Micawbr: <notyetagm: ><delterp: ... 25 d5, while pretty is hardly a great move. In fact I wouldn't even give it one ! as it is obvious.> <Well you should consider giving lessons to 2716-rated Alekseev, since he totally overlooked this simple, "obvious" concept. Great ...      Dec-03-07 Ponomariov vs Sasikiran, 2007    Micawbr: <Ezzy><It's a complicated position, but Sasikiran did have a drawing move. Instead of 29...f6 29...Bxf4! 30.Rxf4 Qxf4 31.Nf5 f6 32.Qc4+ Kf8 and white would probably have to take the pepetual for a draw.> 31.Ne6! threatening mate and attacking the queen is stronger than ...      Nov-15-07 Israel Albert Horowitz    Micawbr: Wasn't Israel Albert Horowitz "player of the day" not too long ago? If so, no matter, I.A. Horowitz was a good player and good for chess. His result in the 1941 Reshevsky match shows Horowitz, a tough, good player, at his best. I met Horowitz in 1967 at the Manhatten CC, and he was ...      Nov-12-07 Grischuk vs Carlsen, 2007   Micawbr: Well <Malthrope> You usually get these things right, BUT..... in this case ICC had it right many hours ago, like 12 or more, real time, so what's the problem?
