Mar-17-24 J Nogueiras vs Shabalov, 1997
| |
| sachistu: Even though this score is repeated by a number of sources, I have to question the accuracy. Move 11 is given as 11.N2f3, but doesn't this leave White open to a pawn fork on moves 17 and 19? Chess Informant #71 game 56 has a fragment of this game with what seems like the more ... |

Jan-16-24 S Belavenets vs Smyslov, 1939
| |
| sachistu: Another possibility which Smyslov apparently did not consider/mention was 31.Qxg5 hg 32.cd with good drawing chances, according to Kostic in the Hungarian magazine Magyar Sakkvilag, 1939, p82-83. |

Feb-05-23 R G Wade vs Pachman, 1968
| |
| sachistu: Not that anything monumental happened afterward, but the current score on the site (probably from Chessbase) is short a few moves. The game continued with 22.Rd3 Ra8 23.Red1 Rad8 24.Ke2 Ke7 25.Ng2 e5 26.dxe5 Bxe5 27.Rxd7+ Rxd7 28.Rxd7+ Kd7 29.a4 Ke6 1/2-1/2 These additional moves ... |

Feb-03-23 Capablanca vs S Prokofiev, 1914
| |
| sachistu: I noticed the date associated with this game is May 29th. I suspect this may have been a typo for May 20th, which is given in some sources i.e. the Caparros book on Capablanca, where he gives the date as May 20th 1914, citing Chess To Enjoy. Oddly, Caparros give the date as ... |

Jan-20-23 Dzindzichashvili vs Stein, 1971
| |
| sachistu: Move 41...Rxd4 is a clear typo, which appears in at least one online database. The move actually played was 41...Rd5 as given Chess Informant #11 game 542 and also in the Gori 1971 tournament booklet and also in Shakhmatny Bulletin, 1971, Issue #5, p141. The rest of the moves are ... |

Jan-20-23 V S Nikolaev vs V Faibisovich, 1975
| |
| sachistu: Regarding the game score, Shakhmatny Bulletin indicates White resigned after 27...Be6. However, Chess Informant #19 game 215 continues the score with 28.Qxe6 Rxb2+ 29.Kxb2 Rf2+ 30.Kb3 Qd3+ 0-1. These last 3 moves may be analysis, but without additional confirmation I hesitate to ... |

Nov-20-22 Suetin vs Knaak, 1974
| |
| sachistu: One other minor correction: The actual game score went 1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 e5 3.Bb5 rather than the more conventional Ruy order of 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 which was used in Chess Informant #18. |

Nov-12-22 A Gorovets vs E Moradiabadi, 2017
| |
| sachistu: Surely the result is a typo, and should be 0-1 as it is mate next move. I'll submit a correction slip. |

Nov-11-22 N Padevsky vs I Bilek, 1974
| |
| sachistu: It's remarkable that there are multiple finishes for this game, especially as Padevsky is listed as the Annotator in at least three sources. The score/finish given here is as given in Chess Informant #17 game 215. (with notes by Padevsky). Chess Player #7 game 113 varies with ... |
