Pentala Harikrishna
Emanuel Lasker
Georg Rotlewi and many more. What's going on? |

May-07-18 Delchev vs B Kelly, 2002
| |
| dunican: <ChessHigherCat> I am not a native speaker, but can't "blow" also mean to spoil (an opportunity to do) something? With a bit of creative licence it might be thought that Kelly somehow mixed up the opening theory, thus he "blew book". |

Jan-23-17 A Espeli vs Andersen, 1952
| |
| dunican: <ezmerin> I thought the winning line would be 13. d4 Bh6 14. g3 f6 15. f4 e5 with the idea that after 16. Kd2 exf4! 17. Kxc1 fxg3+ and 18..g2 The point is that now the white King has to go all the way to g2 to be able to activate the Knight and Rook, which gives Black the time |

Jul-15-15 L Javakhishvili vs R Edouard, 2015
| |
| dunican: So could someone explain, in general terms, what's the point of this exchange line? It seems so counter-intuitive, especially with not taking 9..Bxe4. |
