moonrain has kibitzed 12 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-29-12 A Konstantinopolsky vs Flohr, 1945   moonrain: Black must have been run out of time.      Jul-05-11 chancho chessforum    moonrain: Thanks for introducing Brothers Johnson to me, Mr. Chancho! Here is something from Alexander Sitkovetsky for a slightly sad mood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIt...      May-15-10 Alekhine vs Lilienthal, 1933    moonrain: Indeed. At first glance the only check is on c4. That's why Rh4+. So did not Alekhin himself see Qe6+..?      Jul-11-09 T Witke vs J Nikolac, 1986    moonrain: Interesting, was that a simultaneous game? Not so impressive records for the winner beating Nikolac who must have been GM that time.      Oct-23-08 Spielmann vs B Stupan, 1934   moonrain: 10. Nd5 does not look effective due to 10 ... O-O. It's not clear if White really has a decisive advantage.      Oct-09-08 Tolush vs N Kopilov, 1954    moonrain: Besides the puzzle itself, a double-edged position makes an "innocent" developing 20 .. Ne2 a gross mistake. White must have been at win either after 20. Rc1 or a straightforward 20. Bxb4.      Sep-03-08 E Gasanov vs A Kovchan, 2006    moonrain: 31. g4 must be a winning move, and rather obvious one. Well, quieter 31.Re1 is the same.      Mar-02-08 Smirin vs A Beliavsky, 1989    moonrain: I stopped searching for mate after 32...Nc4+. The position after that 33.Kf4 must be indefensible - that what I thought. I wonder if Beliavsky saw the final end at doing 28...Rf2 sacrifice but rather was content with estimation of an intermediate position.      Dec-10-07 Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1927    moonrain: Alekhine himself offered 17. B:f6 B:f6 18. b4 in comments for the game.      Feb-15-07 de Vere vs Paulsen, 1870    moonrain: Mendrys, Themofro, yeh, guys, so lovely still c3.
