joeld has kibitzed 13 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jun-14-22 Morphy vs Maurian, 1866   joeld: Maurian's move 19...Be3 proves that there was a version of Stockfish that ran on Babbage's mechanical computer and that Maurian was a cheater.      May-13-22 Morphy vs J L Preti, 1858    joeld: Black's move 10 and 11 - 10...Nc6 and 11...d6 - seem to be reversed. The Shibut book (and Del Rosario's book) have the moves in the opposite order.      Mar-18-22 Tarrasch vs J Mieses, 1916    joeld: Reti in Masters of the Chessboard also puts this game in Berlin 1916. Not an exhibition game in Munich that same year.      Dec-20-21 Minic vs K Honfi, 1966   joeld: This "puzzle" is in Henkin, 1000 Checkmate Combinations, Rook chapter, exercise 2, except the book has a misprint and shows a rook at c3 instead of a pawn.      Dec-18-21 A G Essery vs F H Warren, 1912   joeld: This book is included in The Art of the Checkmate by Renaud and Kahn as Game 6, except there's a typo that moves Black's move 8 to move 10 and shifts moves 9 and 10 up (at least in the edition I have, which is the original 1953 printing).      Oct-10-21 J W te Kolste vs Nimzowitsch, 1925   joeld: This is very reminiscent of Pilnik-Geller 1955. Pilnik vs Geller, 1955      Oct-10-21 Pilnik vs Geller, 1955   joeld: This example could have been taken rohjt out of Nimzowitch's My System, Chapter 4, section 2a. But of course, because when Nimzo wrote that book, Geller had not yet played this game, Nimzo uses Kolte-Nimzowitsch, Baden-Baden 1925 instead. J W te Kolste vs Nimzowitsch, 1925      Mar-24-21 Morphy vs Potier, 1858    joeld: I suspect "Potier" must be William Norwood Potter. He would have been 18 at the time and still unknown in the chess world.      Feb-11-21 Capablanca vs Reshevsky, 1938    joeld: Is it true that Capa used only 2 minutes on his clock for the entire game?      Feb-01-21 Firouzja vs Wojtaszek, 2021    joeld: "The Chief Arbiter will decide when these games will be moved... and players are expected to abide by this decision" People's criticisms are against the arbiters for deciding that the game had to be moved at that time, not against Firouzja that he didn't abide by the arbiter's ...
