Utopian2020 has kibitzed 104 times to chessgames   [more...]

Aug-31-10 M Narciso Dublan vs Kryvoruchko, 2008    Utopian2020: I like 80..... Qxf4+ 81.gxf4 e1Q+ 82.Kh5 Qe2+ 83.Kh4 Qf2+ 84.Kh5 Qf3+ 85.Kh4 Qf4+ 86.Kh5 Qg5#      Aug-12-10 M Roiz vs Naiditsch, 2010    Utopian2020: If the point is to choose the best line for black, then Qf4 appears best. However, it neither wins nor draws. It only prolongs. 39...Qf4 40. Re1 Qf3+ 41. Qg2 Qc3 42. Qe2 (g6, Ra5, or Rb5) 43. d5      Jul-26-10 Iturrizaga Bonelli vs V Kulakov, 2008    Utopian2020: Black's fatal mistake, although there were many earlier, was 28...Qc5 relinquishing the a1-h8 diagonal. As long as black's queen commands the a1-h8 diagonal white cannot achieve victory.      Jul-17-10 Salov vs Karpov, 1994    Utopian2020: Still don't believe me. Let's go back a few more moves. Here the White king has finally abandoned the h5 file pawn. Black to move. [DIAGRAM] ...Kxh5, kd6 kg4, kc6 kf5, kb6 Nb8 and we are back at the two position analyzed above as draws. Conclusion: Karpov blundered, this game ...      Jun-17-10 R Shamshin vs I Polovodin, 1989    Utopian2020: 55...Ra3+, 56. Rxa3 (not 56. Ra5 Rxa5+, 57. Kxa5 Ra2+, 58 Rxa2 e1Q+ black winning) e1Q, 57. a1Q is a draw. Black must first play 55...Rh6+, 56. Ka5 Ra2+, 57 e1Q+ allowing black the tempo to exploit the Q+R v R+R advantage.      Jun-13-10 B Pantebre Martinez vs E Paoli, 1976    Utopian2020: White must always block Black's Bishop. 67. Ke1 allowed Ba5+, with which Black gains the tempo needed to complete his invasion. 67. Bc3 continues White's blockade of Black's bishop. Clearly Black has no forced win.      May-20-10 Tal vs K Grigorian, 1982    Utopian2020: I got 28. Qd8 gxf5, 29. Kg1 threatening 30. Re1, but I thought I had not solved the puzzle, so I worked on it for another 30 minutes.      May-11-10 Topalov vs Anand, 2010    Utopian2020: I predict Anand will still win, but he will have taken the scenic route.      May-06-10 Anand vs Topalov, 2010    Utopian2020: Perhaps Re7, then Rxe6.      Apr-29-10 Gligoric vs J Rosenstein, 1963    Utopian2020: Rosenstein has only one game in the CG database. Hopefully, this game was not among his best.
