murkia has kibitzed 56 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jul-30-25 A Beliavsky vs B Aizenberg, 2022    murkia: Where's Mel! A 6 second analysis by the CG engine says either R checking at f2 leaves B a pawn up in a Q ending, as per <saturn2>. Qd5+ leads to a perpetual in 4. A curious POTD indeed, as <perfidious> observes.      Jul-23-25 Mikhalevski vs J Degraeve, 1991   murkia: <TheaN>Thanks for your comments. I am not suggesting Be4+ is stronger than Re2! Mel's Stockfish 17 analyses of both moves above shows clearly that this is not the case. It does prove however that it is a very powerful match winning alternative. I enjoyed your interesting bio ...      Jul-01-25 H Matthey vs Uhlmann, 1983   murkia: Truly "un embarass de richesse". I also chose Nxh3 which wins convincingly and considered but missed the simple winning line. Tricky?      Jun-27-25 T Gareyev vs E Berg, 2007    murkia: Me too. Funny that!      Jun-09-25 A Sherzer vs N Petrov, 1988    murkia: After more than a few seconds, what Stockfish said.      May-22-25 R Palliser vs A Young, 2013    murkia: <scormus>: Spoilt for choice indeed! Or even Bh7+ which according to the CG engine also wins.      May-10-25 I Sokolov vs Morozevich, 2005    murkia: Hi Mel, < murkia: It's a pity that kibitzing has become so much less interesting now since Stockfish became so smart.> CG's own engine facility is quite powerful, is free to use and generally agrees with your SF analyses which uses much more powerful hardware and unlimited ...      Mar-31-25 Le Quang Liem vs L Dominguez Perez, 2011    murkia: I love Sunday! Got Saturday. Got Sunday. Missed Monday.      Mar-02-25 Saemisch vs O Menzinger, 1953    murkia: Rxf6 also wins.      Feb-28-25 Sadvakasov vs S Peschardt, 2004    murkia: Bxa6 also wins.
