Sep-29-11 Lilienthal vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1951    fanofchess82: Fantastic game. What a grand advertisement for chess beauty. I am lost for words. A beautiful invasion via the h-file and a fantastic mate. The minor pieces occupy crucial outposts and co-ordinate brilliantly. The opening has some beautiful knight manuevres by Black. Black ...      Sep-29-11 Kmoch vs Rubinstein, 1926    fanofchess82: Rubinstein the master. Never tire of Rubinstein's rook moves or Capa's bishops or Philidor's pawns. This is the way they played chess and brought out the beauty of the game. Great show. Todays puzzle was relatively easier for a Thursday. The move presents itself immediately ...      Sep-22-11 de Firmian vs E Tate, 2001    fanofchess82: Tate's knights and great knights.      Sep-21-11 Kasparov vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2011    fanofchess82: Philidor would have smiled at Kasparov's beautiful pawn manuevres. The pawns just roll and the knight hops mysteriously while Black looks on helplessly. What a beautiful finish to the game. White's pawns are simply too good, the real soul of this beautiful game. Always chained ...      Sep-21-11 V Mikenas vs Bronstein, 1965    fanofchess82: Very easy for a Wednesday position. Spotted it inside 30 seconds. Simple deflection theme for a mate or material gain. Rxa3 just deflects the two pieces guarding the last rank. But I dont understand why White played Rb4 with such a vulnerable back rank.      Sep-20-11 S Polgar vs K Smart, 1988    fanofchess82: Wow, Kings gambit at this level. The most romantic of all openings. I am a huge fan of Kings Gambit !! Nice game.      Sep-14-11 K Spraggett vs G Spraggett, 1976    fanofchess82: Can someone envisage and list out the finish after 26. fxg6+?      Sep-14-11 Bagirov vs A Machulsky, 1975    fanofchess82: A very good game. If 23....hxg5 then 24. Qg6 wins. If 23.... any other move then 24. Qh7 #. A very good move. Took some time to figure it out today.      Nov-30-10 J Polgar vs Topalov, 2010    fanofchess82: A beautiful game by Polgar. King's Gambit in 2010 - Guess the opening choice in itself would have befuddled Topalov. I have used KGA in many tournaments and it works like a charm as a psychological weapon. If you are comfortable with razor sharp positions where on slip can ...      Oct-27-10 H D Mueller vs A van Weersel, 2001    fanofchess82: Today was an easy puzzle for a Wednesday. SPotted this instantly.
