Vicao has kibitzed 19 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-23-12 I Krush vs Nakamura, 2001    Vicao: Well, 48 Qxf6 wouldnt have been so bad either      Jun-30-11 Nijboer vs R Swinkels, 2011   Vicao: White lost on time, but the consensus in the tournament was that his position is lost anyway      Nov-24-09 R Nezhmetdinov vs Y Kotkov, 1957    Vicao: To David2009: Nice link, I managed to find a win starting with 25 h4 Bxh4 26 g3 Bg5 27 f4 d5 28 Bxd5 h6 29 Re3 Qd6 30 fxg5 Rf8 31 Qe7 Qxe7 32 Rxe7 Rd8 33 Bxb7 hxg5 34 Bd5 etc which should be winning for white (although I managed to let it slip to a draw quite ...      May-07-09 A Yurgis vs Botvinnik, 1931    Vicao: I think 34. ... Rc4 is pretty easy, and given this position any club player would find it. Moves like 26. ... f5!, preventing any of white's attacking ideas with white playing f5, are much harder to find and correctly evaluate. But still a nice combination, although more of a Tuesday ...      Feb-14-09 Petursson vs A Wojtkiewicz, 1990    Vicao: My variation started with Nxg4 too, but after fxg4 this has opened the 3rd rank for white to defend his c3-knight with Rh3 at the end.... That was a resource that i missed completely      Jul-20-08 T Thorhallsson vs Browne, 1988    Vicao: Probably white's move 34 should be 34. Qf7+ and not 34. Qd7      Jul-20-08 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925    Vicao: <tallin> thanks for the explanation. I thought the position looked promising for white, but it seems this is all an illusion. Quite nice, i wonder if this was an intentional extra difficulty dimension on this puzzle :)      Jul-12-08 Gelfand vs K Lerner, 1987    Vicao: Nice. I wondered about 44. .. b3 but then 45. Ra4 Rb8 46. Ra7 Ke8 47. Rxg7 will transpose to the game.      Jul-11-08 Speelman vs Sax, 1988    Vicao: That not played "zig-zag-manoeuvre" is pretty pretty.... However, I would have played 62. Bxe6 fxe6 63. Ke4 getting inside the square while black can't leave the square of the f6-pawn, leaving a prosaic easy win.      Jun-19-08 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    Vicao: I think the increased loans and the increased betting caps take away a lot of the needed skill. Compare it to the famous double-your-bet strategy when betting on red in roulette (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin... for details on that system). This strategy *only* works when ...
