polarx has kibitzed 88 times to chessgames   [more...]

Sep-09-12 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972    polarx: Oh my God...      Aug-11-12 Lutikov vs L Aronson, 1957    polarx: Once: <It would have been pretty silly if we won the black queen but then allowed ourselves to be mated or give away a perp>. That would have made this one a hell of a puzzle. I hope CG.com offers something like that in the future.      Jul-06-12 I Kurnosov vs Carlsen, 2012    polarx: 62...? Black to play. Obviously.      Jul-05-12 A Reshko vs O Kaminsky, 1972    polarx: Forgot about underpromotion again. Third time this week.      Jun-05-12 Robert James Fischer    polarx: Hey <drnooo>, just a side note: your post above just reminded me of a documentary about Kubrick, the film maker.

I think it is pretty clear that Steinitz, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Karpov and Kasparov really cherished the title and ...      May-19-12 Bronstein vs Korchnoi, 1962    polarx: <Jimfromprovidence> I got it. Just because you said something was there. So nice to suddenly see it. Finding this OTB must be awesome.      May-18-12 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1961    polarx: <Runemaster: Botvinnik found openings that Tal didn't combat well, particularly the Caro-Kann as in this game.> Caro-Kann was played 6 times in the 1960 WC Match. 3 draws. Botwinnik won 1 game. Tal won 2 games. Caro-Kann was played 9 times in the 1961 WC Return Match. 5 ...
