Jan-12-24 A Bisguier vs Kupchik, 1946
| |
| jerseybob: <AnalyzeThis: Rather lame. There were various unexplored possibilities here. For example, 15.... Bxd4 was possible, after 16. Bxf8 Kxf8 black cannot be prevented from getting a second pawn for the exchange. It seems that both sides were happy with a draw and could have saved ... |

| jerseybob: <perfidious: Not a Kan, either; this transposed to a Scheveningen.> In Nei-Darga yes. |

Jan-12-24 Reshevsky vs N Whitaker, 1927 
| |
| jerseybob: By move 29 white already looks lost. Earlier, I don't get the purpose of 13.a3. Having played f4, continuing with the Pillsbury program of Nf3 and Ne5 seems much more logical. |

Jan-10-24 I Nei vs Portisch, 1964
| |
| jerseybob: I remember seeing this in Reshevsky's column in the Sunday Herald Trib. Nei's choice of an offbeat line has the desired effect: black finally loses the thread of the game. |

Jan-10-24 Spassky vs Tal, 1973
| |
| jerseybob: <Everett: ....Fischer ducked Spassky until he was champ...> I think "ducking Spassky" is too simplistic. Who was he ducking in 1964 and 1967? Ducking the danger of failure is more like it for me. I'm not a doctor of course, but even a team of shrinks might have trouble ... |

Jan-08-24 J Traian Iliesco vs Bolbochan, 1947
| |
| jerseybob: <johnnyfroaction: a lesson in why not to bring out the queen to early i guess...> I agree 7.Qc2 is weak, but I'm not sure Bolbochan's 7..Be4 is the best answer either. The short draw may reflect sudden mutual confusion by both players. |
