dhotts has kibitzed 390 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-18-20 A Firouzja vs J Xiong, 2020    dhotts: Rumor has it that Firouzja has a RF radio implant to receive moves from a high performance computing platform nearby. How else can Firouzja consistently play Stockfish's top moves???..The chess world wants to see how the upstart does against Alpha Zero?!      Dec-28-19 Nisipeanu vs A C Florean, 1995    dhotts: Tremendous precision was required to make the attack a success, very instructive!      Dec-27-19 Grigoriants vs R Prasanna, 2018   dhotts: Sometimes the Sicilian just seems like a bone crushing defense (offense) for Black and other times Black gets slaughtered...I think that's why I always like playing the Sicilian as Black or White, its just plain fun!      Dec-22-19 Hector vs M Antonsen, 2010    dhotts: The truly astounding move by Johnnnny is 14. Rd5!!!      Oct-09-19 F Vallejo Pons vs N Huschenbeth, 2010    dhotts: <Patzer2> it took a GM to bring the win home 78 moves later...If a GM truly is a piece up (+3) then it should happen much sooner. I tend to agree with you, the silicon evaluation is heavy handed in assessing the Black Queen's mobility.      Oct-07-19 V Keymer vs S P Rahul, 2019   dhotts: Very patient play by Keymer, when will Vincent reach GM?      Oct-04-19 R Loetscher vs M Bluebaum, 2016    dhotts: My first choice was 28...Bxg2 to clean up the mess (reduce complexity) in the ensuing phase 29.Qxg2 Rg6 30.Qf1 then play 30...e5 with much greater effect!      Oct-03-19 Radjabov vs Ding Liren, 2019    dhotts: Very interesting how Teimour 16th move in the first game 16.Nd2 leads to a draw and in the second game as white 16.Bd3 leads to win...The engines did not see a big difference, but it was amazing how quickly white won from that point.      Jul-18-19 Alatortsev vs G Goldberg, 1932    dhotts: White missed the more convincing line of 29. Bc8! which wins more easily.      Jul-10-19 Kholmov vs Bronstein, 1965    dhotts: It appears that Black's 19...Bg5 move lead to his demise. Much better and more challenging for White was 19...Nxe5, then White must find 20.Ne4 to maintain a slight advantage or be destroyed.
