Tomate has kibitzed 11 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-19-20 T Baron vs M Rodshtein, 2016   Tomate: The game is commented in "Fighting the London" by Ki. Georgiev.      Sep-08-20 Uhlmann vs Bronstein, 1966    Tomate: @FSR 39.Rf5 Bd8 is not so clear. Black looks ugly, but still white has to find some moves (intuitively, I would say that Black pawns c5 or a7 will fall)      Apr-01-20 M Defosse vs Frank, 1977    Tomate: The date 1977 is incorrect: the game already appeared in a 1974 book of Camil Seneca (in French). BTW Seneca indicates Bruxelles 1947 for the game. According to him, the game continues as follows: 14.gxh4 Nxf3+ 15.Kg2 Ne1++ 16.Kg3 Rg6+ 17.Kf4 Rg4+ 18.Ke5 Nf3# I do not believe ...      Oct-19-19 B Sadiku vs S Soors, 2015    Tomate: 31..Rh2+ 32.Kxh2 Qh4+ 33.Kg1(2) Qg3+ 34.Kh1 Qh3+ 35.Kg1 Be3+ 36.Rf2 Qg3+ 37.Kh1 38.Qf1 Qxf3+ 39.Kh2 Qg3+ 40.Kh1 f3! threathening Qh4X      Jan-16-19 K Petzold vs A Dreev, 2008    Tomate: 26...Nxf2 27.Bf5 Qe2 28.Qe1 Rd1 29.Qxf2 Rxa1. The threat 30..Rxa2 31.Qxe2 fxe2 32.Kf2 exf1+ wins a piece so Black ends with a full rook ahead. I did not see the cute 27..Nd1, but the difference is small.      Dec-27-18 K Alekseenko vs M Petrosyan, 2017    Tomate: 27..bxc4 28.Qxa4 (28.Rxa4 is worse since the white Q should support the Ra4: 28..cxd3 29.Qa2+ Bf7 30.Qa1 Bb3!) 28..Qxa4 29.Rxa4 cxd3 30.Bd2 Rc2 31.Nc4 Be6: Black get back his piece and it keeps is terrific passed pawn. A very good position to look for! Since I'm new in this website ...      Dec-20-18 J Toet vs Verkade, 1977   Tomate: 31..Rxe6? is a mistake: 32.Nf3! is winning for white. The correct continuation is 31..Rf5!! 32.Bxf5 gxf5 followed by 33...Nxh3#      Dec-20-18 Miles vs L Schmid, 1980    Tomate: 42.Rh6+ Bxh6 (42..Kg8 43.Qe6+ Kf8 44.Ng6#) 43.Qg6+ Kh8 44.Qxh6+ (better than 44.Nf7+ Qxf7 winning a Q for R+N) 44..Kg8 (44..Qh7 45.Nf7+ Kg8 46.Qxh7+ followed by Nxd8) 45.Qg5+ Kh8 (45..Kh7 46.Qg6+ Kh8 47.Nf7+ wins a Q for a single rook) 46.Qxd8+      Dec-06-18 S Slipak vs T Gibson, 2008    Tomate: 33.Rxd4 Qxd4 34.Ne5. White threats to mate by 35.Nxg6+ Kg8 36.Rg7# and the ending after 34..Qxe5 35.Rxe5 looks very bad. So it remains 35..Rd7 35.Nxg6+ Kg8 36.f7+ Kg7/Kh7 37.f=Q+ Kxg6 38.Bxh5+ Kxh5 39.Qf5+ Kh6 40.Qh7#      Nov-29-18 B Jacobsen vs D Mallaghan, 2008    Tomate: 31.Nf6+ Bxf6 32.Bd5+ looks winning since 32..Be6 33.Bxe6+ Rxe6 33.Rxa7 or 32..Kf8 33.Rf7+ Kg8 34.Rxe7+ also wins the queen
