Oct-10-17 Suetin vs Bagirov, 1963    dark.horse: No Alekhine?!      Jul-31-17 Fischer vs H Berliner, 1962    dark.horse: <whiteshark: So where went Berliner wrong ?> 5...exd6 is the safer variation.      Jul-26-17 V Malakhov vs I Khairullin, 2007    dark.horse: Sweet nuance at the end... not 53.Kxg6, which would allow ...Bd3+.      Jun-23-17 So vs Shabalov, 2017    dark.horse: Kudos on the pun.      Jun-21-17 Speelman vs Kudrin, 1984   dark.horse: Nice interference move by the bishop!      Jun-16-17 Tigran V Petrosian    dark.horse: "Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight." So...if you don't experience "real delight", then you don't play well?      Jun-05-17 R Hess vs E Sevillano, 2006    dark.horse: Easy for a Monday ( ! )      May-29-17 G Soutar vs G Chandler, 1994    dark.horse: Easy, but not Monday easy.      May-28-17 Wojtaszek vs A Demuth, 2015   dark.horse: 29...Rd8??      May-23-17 B Savchenko vs A Kostin, 2007    dark.horse: It requires a little imagination: "What is the ideal square for the queen? Why g7, of course. How can I get my queen there? Ok, if I move my queen to g6 what can Black do about it?" It is an impressive-looking move; it is counter-intuitive to put the queen en prise like that.
