aolmail has kibitzed 5 times to chessgames

Sep-05-11 Lasker vs J Bauer, 1889    aolmail: A very pretty game, although I saw it before in a book. I believe it is the first recorded example of a double bishop sacrifice to open the castled king, making it even more a feat of genius.      Jun-23-11 Kamsky vs Gelfand, 2011    aolmail: 19...Bxd5! a. 20 cxd5 Qxc1 21 Rxc1 Rxc1+ 22 Ne1 Ba5! and white cannot save his queen from the fork Rxe1+ at the same time as warding off checkmate. b. 20 Rxd5 Qxd5! and 21 cxd5 Rxc1+ transposes back into the main line      Jun-22-11 Topalov vs Karpov, 1998    aolmail: Material: White is up by a point. White has a promising attack on the h-file but the only piece preventing mate is the bishop on g8, holding the position together. The other problem is that the queen needs to be placed on the h-file to mate. With a little imagination, both problems ...      Jun-14-11 NN vs T McCracken, 2007    aolmail: this is perhaps queen sac week? :)      May-22-11 Nakamura vs Ponomariov, 2011    aolmail: I don't think the center pawns win; I predict a draw. I think that the c-pawn will provide suitable counterplay to tie down the knight or king while black can construct a fortress on the light squares, where it may be hard for Nakamura to create an effective pawn break.
