shakh.i.shekh has kibitzed 43 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-04-18 Chess Olympiad (Women) (2018)    shakh.i.shekh: The U.S. - Ukraine women's match will feature 6 women from Ukraine! Four playing for Ukraine and 2 Ukrainian ex-pats playing for U.S.      Feb-26-18 K Zakoscielna vs K Bulski, 2008    shakh.i.shekh: If white plays P-g7 and Black plays K-h7, then if White captures Bishop and does not promote to Knight, Black can play Q-d1+ and force stalemate.      Nov-24-17 F Vallejo Pons vs Eljanov, 2017    shakh.i.shekh: Any comments on this endgame? Did white have a win somewhere along the line?      Oct-29-17 Ivanchuk vs Wei Yi, 2017   shakh.i.shekh: Youngsters forgetting that veterans can have a "Fighting King." see " Kasparov vs Petrosian, 1981 "      Sep-08-17 Ivanchuk vs J K Duda, 2017    shakh.i.shekh: Ivanchuk's 15 NxP is a more complicated version of Fischer's similar combination against Spassky in game 8 and Karpov's defeat of Kasparov in game 7 of their world championship match in 1990. Good tactic to remember!      Jun-04-17 Ivanchuk vs K Piorun, 2017   shakh.i.shekh: I think Ivanchuk forgot that knights can jump backwards. Karpov forgot this in one of his world championship games with Kasparov.      Sep-11-16 S P Sethuraman vs A Korobov, 2016   shakh.i.shekh: Any ideas why White did not play 32. B X R? The chess engines seem to think that this "obvious" move wins the game for White.      Sep-04-16 A Volokitin vs D G Fridman, 2016   shakh.i.shekh: Tal would have been proud of this game!      May-17-16 Ponomariov vs M Yilmaz, 2016    shakh.i.shekh: For you endgame experts. All of the chess engines on chessdom evaluate the final position as very favorable to White. Yet White (apparently) accepted a DRAW. Did White miss a winning continuation or did the chess engines mis-evaluate the position.      Oct-12-15 Ivanchuk vs Radjabov, 2015    shakh.i.shekh: What happened to Ivanchuk in this game? Was he disqualified? He had plenty of time and a significant edge in the final position.
