Feb-09-05 S Azarov vs V Sakalauskas, 2003
| |
| TheEyeOfMordor: Nice Pirc game from Sakalauskas. I am not sure what the old masters would of said about the position after Blacks 9th move. White managed to extend his Pawns pretty far but the cramped position had a good hold on them and managed to exchange into a Queen endgame. Sakalauskas ... |

Feb-08-05 R Slade vs H Mallison, 1947
| |

Feb-04-05 S von Freymann vs A Ilyin-Zhenevsky, 1934
| |
| TheEyeOfMordor: This is a very interesting draw to look at. First of all Von Freymanns handling of the Sicilian is interesting because it lets the 2 sides set up opposing fortresses. Then he starts to open up the c-file and place his pieces better, allowing a pawn sacrifice for the pin he ... |

Jan-29-05 Corus Group A (2005)
| |
| TheEyeOfMordor: I withdrew because I couldnt get on the computer for 2 whole days. I am also thinking about using my own system in Linares. I am thinking about calling him Booker if <cu8sfan> agrees to let me use him. He predicts according to the table so you might see some odd ... |
