Retired Patzer has kibitzed 11 times to chessgames   [more...]

Apr-26-25 Boris Savchenko   Retired Patzer: Notice that he hit his peak rating before he was 23, but is down about 200 points since then. Isn't he young enough to still be rising?      Aug-17-24 M Mukhin vs M Podgaets, 1972    Retired Patzer: I didn't follow the idea of Black's 29th either. Doesn't 29...Nf4 preserve both knights long enough to maybe get the queen onto the long diagonal? Although I suppose 30.Bxe5 wrecks that idea.      Jun-11-24 A Savage vs S Djuric, 1983   Retired Patzer: Thanks for finding this game. I inquired about it a couple years ago on the Allan Savage page, and am glad to see it added to the database.      Jun-11-24 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    Retired Patzer: After 69.Rc3+ Kd4 it almost looks like White has winning chances with 70.Be7, aiming for f6 to help blockade the Black queenside pawns while retaining protection of his own g-pawn. But 70....Ke5 pretty much forces the bishop back to f8.      Jun-11-24 V Iordachescu vs S Williams, 2013    Retired Patzer: I went for 40 Re8+ as well.      Oct-09-23 Miguel Quinteros   Retired Patzer: That looks like a great article. Any way to get an English translation of it?      Jun-23-23 Kotov vs Najdorf, 1953    Retired Patzer: Thanks for the illustrations. Seems like 50 extra moves would be anticlimactic after Najdorf's clever combination should have ended it. But if Najdorf were unsettled enough to make a blunder, maybe it would be worth a try.      Apr-27-23 Euwe vs Najdorf, 1953    Retired Patzer: Despite a low finish in this tournament, Dr. Euwe had two really great wins. See also Geller-Euwe.      Apr-07-23 Portisch vs Larsen, 1972    Retired Patzer: Didn't realize Fischer attended the last round of San Antonio 1972. Nice to learn that he was complimentary of Portisch's win two years after he lambasted Portisch for letting a win slip vs. Korchnoi in the USSR vs The Rest of the World match. Also curious if Larsen was still      Aug-01-22 Allan George Savage   Retired Patzer: At the 1983 Canadian Open I had the good fortune to see Savage and GM Stefan Djuric play off their adjourned game. I don't recall the exact nature of the position, but remember Savage holding a draw down two exchanges...which is pretty impressive vs. a grandmaster. Is there ...
