TrollKing has kibitzed 117 times to chessgames   [more...]

Mar-08-23 K Moeckel vs L Zinn, 1954    TrollKing: This game should be mandatory study for all beginners. This is what happens when you do not develop your pieces.      Feb-20-23 Mecking vs J Belmonte Schwarzbaum, 1972   TrollKing: 22. ... Qf7 just missed the pin on the e file.      Sep-12-22 S Bengtsson vs N Benmesbah, 2019    TrollKing: On move 19 Black could have played Qc3+ leading to the same mate.      Aug-01-22 Romanishin vs Dorfman, 1992    TrollKing: This is why beginners are taught 1) Do not move the same piece too many times in the opening, and 2) Do not bring the Queen out to early. Wretched opening.      Jul-14-22 G Burgess vs C Bank Friis, 1991    TrollKing: Now that's a combo!      May-27-20 T Gelashvili vs M Mchedlishvili, 2002    TrollKing: I went with 47 ... Rxd2+ 48 Kxd2 Rf2+ 49 Ke1 Bxe3 50 Bc1 Bxc1 51 Kxf2 Bf4 with a B, N, + 2 P for the Rook. Stockfish says it is only slightly worse than the game continuation.      May-04-20 Schiffers vs G Janny, 1898    TrollKing: 6. Rf1, intending 7. Kg1 would have been much safer.      Nov-19-19 W Toikka vs T G Cook, 1987    TrollKing: White followed up a bad move: 16. g4?, with an absolute howler: 17. hxg4??      Oct-20-18 Rublevsky vs Harikrishna, 2006    TrollKing: 7th Voyage of Sergei.      Oct-10-18 R Altshul vs R Mueller, 2008    TrollKing: Fairly easy for a Wednesday. The Queen\Rook battery on the f-file kind of stood out.
