joeld has kibitzed 43 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-19-25 Greco vs NN, 1620   joeld: Surely this game needs to be given the pun "Never mof6!", credit to Ben Finegold.      Jun-19-25 Kotov vs Petrosian, 1949    joeld: The name I gave this game in my database is "Checks, Captures, and Threats". I propose this for the daily game pun.      Jun-15-25 S Nedeljkovic vs A Matanovic, 1950   joeld: Beautiful "closing the cage" at the end. These moves are often hard to find when calculating mating attacks. I found this combination in Aleksander Kostyev's book From Beginner to Expert in 40 Lessons translated by Jon Speelman.      Jun-12-25 A Rubezov vs G Borisenko, 1960   joeld: Didn't Borisenko's mother even teach him: don't play with your food before you eat it!      Jun-10-25 Giri vs J Christiansen, 2013    joeld: Quite a beautiful game. I love how Giri puts a lockdown on the f-file, locks the opponent's king out of the game, advances his own, and simply wins the endgame.      Jun-10-25 Maroczy vs Marshall, 1907   joeld: The White queen is out being frisky with the Black queen's husband, while she knows that her husband is safe at home, not doing anything naughty.      Jun-01-25 Hodgson vs F Hellers, 1994    joeld: Hodgson has a video that features this game. It's called Combat Chess #2 All-out Attack      Jun-01-25 M Kamyshov vs A Sokolsky, 1938   joeld: I can't believe nobody has pointed out that this is similar to J L Hammer vs Carlsen, 2003      May-27-25 Tolush vs Simagin, 1952   joeld: Petrosian used Simagin's theme against him a few years later in Petrosian vs Simagin, 1956      May-26-25 Glucksberg vs Najdorf, 1930   joeld: Chernev in The Bright Side of Chess also has this one dated to 1935
