| mcb: Sorry I don't know how to ask a general question so I hope you'll forgive me if I just post it here: which Lasker played E.N.Olly in 1893, using the Scandinavian opening? |

Nov-02-17 Janowski vs A Nimzowitsch, 1914
| |
| mcb: Nimz.'s general rule "an attack on the flank must be meet by a counterattack in the center" (My System) is clearly not applicable when the center is a rock of pawns! |

Oct-31-17 Team White vs Team Black, 2015
| |
| mcb: Doesn't seem sound to try to win with an across the board pawn storm, right from the word go. IMHO. I'm no expert. ;; |

Oct-15-17 Michael Meyer vs D Newcomb, 1952
| |
| mcb: Like many attacks it's deadly unless you play the one defending move that works, every time. Then you can control White. |

Sep-12-17 A Palekha vs A Julin, 2000
| |
| mcb: Was there a middlegame element that was decisive or was black simply outplayed in the endgame? |

Sep-11-17 J Polgar vs Kasparov, 1996
| |
| mcb: Dumb question about move 30. It's late and I'm stupider than usual. Queen can't take with mate because White has Queen pinned on King. Other than that it's a wonderful move.. |

Sep-10-17 Salov vs Korchnoi, 1997
| |
| mcb: Very instructive - you are very good players and I learn from the kibitzing as well as the puzzle. |

Feb-02-16 Bogoljubov vs Spielmann, 1920
| |
| mcb: Kinda like a guilty pleasure, watching a superior player get creamed by another superior player...dash cam in 64 squares. |

Jan-30-16 W Hanstein vs von der Lasa, 1841
| |
| mcb: Is it merely a coincidence that the losing player had his king stuck in the middle and failed to castle before launching his attack? |
