Shajmaty has kibitzed 1465 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-06-22 Niemann vs Firouzja, 2022    Shajmaty: 26. ♗e5, ♕g5; 27. ♖g4, ♗xg4?? (27...♕c1+ needs to be played) 28. f4!! is an amazing variation that, according to Firu, Niemann mentioned during the post mortem. Simply genius stuff.      Jan-18-21 D Anton Guijarro vs Carlsen, 2021    Shajmaty: The 2...♘c6 order avoids the Yugoslav Attack, and the Maroczy Bind is no longer possible after 3. ♘c3. Good choice by the World Champion. Furthermore, 8. f3 plus 9. ♕d2 is not as common as 8. ♗e2. 9...d5 equalizes simply - and in a thematic fashion.      Jan-30-19 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000   Shajmaty: 55...♔f6 (instead of 55...♔f5) is the only way to win, of course      Dec-05-16 Capablanca vs Marshall, 1918    Shajmaty: In 23 moves (between 14. ♕f3 and 36. ♗xf7+), Capablanca plays the best move (i.a.w. Stockfish) 21 times! Exceptions: 21. ♗d2 instead of 21. ♔d2 and 32. ♘xc3 instead of 32. ♗xc3. Together with Fischer, the biggest natural talent the game has ever ...      Nov-24-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016    Shajmaty: Carlsen needs 18. d4 (or 2x. d4) to play for an advantage...      May-21-14 L Bruzon Batista vs So, 2014    Shajmaty: @Check_It_Out I've never seen 8...♗e6 before!      Mar-10-14 Shimanov vs Jobava, 2014    Shajmaty: Amazing game. 13...♘xd5? (instead of 13...♕xh1) is the starting point of one of the most entertaining games this century.      Jan-30-11 Kotronias vs Ivanchuk, 2011    Shajmaty: Vassilios (the Greek) had Vasyl (the Ukranian) beaten, but he let him escape. Nice game, the most entertaining of the tournament so far.      Dec-14-10 London Chess Classic (2010)    Shajmaty: Agreed, <Kinghunt>. I believe both 69. ♗g8 and 69. ♗f7 won.      Sep-29-10 Shirov vs E Berg, 2010    Shajmaty: Alexei improves the known 13. ♖g1 with 13. g5. Wild game!
