sightlesswisdom has kibitzed 21 times to chessgames   [more...]

Aug-28-12 J de Wit vs de Firmian, 1982    sightlesswisdom: Does anyone see any reason why 33. Rbg1, with the threat of 34. Qxf8+ doesn't work? That is to say, I had moves 33 and 34 switched around in my solution. Did I miss something?      Nov-26-10 O Almeida Quintana vs P Zarnicki, 2002    sightlesswisdom: Perhaps black's position is defendable after 20. Nxe6 fxe6 21. Qg6 Nf6 22.Bxh6 and this is sort of a trick question...      Nov-18-10 Check It Out chessforum    ...      Nov-06-10 Magnus Carlsen    sightlesswisdom: Many people on here are talking about Carlsen's decision as if it were some big hot-headed protest against FIDE. When I read http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... , however, I get the impression that Carlsen's decision is more about motivation. If he feels less motivated to      Sep-13-10 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010    sightlesswisdom: <Honza Cervenka>: Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. What about lines that go 4. ...Bb4+ 5.Nbd2 ? In light of what you posted moving the knight to d2 anyways (to prepare an eventual e4) seems like the most logical response to the bishop check. Is it common in these ...      Sep-10-10 Shirov vs Jakovenko, 2007    sightlesswisdom: Any reason why 29. Rad1 wouldn't work as well?      Jun-14-10 E Ghaem Maghami vs Karpov, 2009    sightlesswisdom: 27 ...Qxc1+ 28 Bxc1 (28 Kg2 h3#) Rxc1+ 29 Kg2 h3#.      Apr-20-10 de Firmian vs Azmaiparashvili, 1996    sightlesswisdom: 47...Ng4+ 48 Kg7 Ne6+ 49 Kg8 (or Kh8) Rf8# is forced mate in 3.      Mar-11-10 Levenfish vs N Riumin, 1936    sightlesswisdom: I believe the key move should be 27. Nf6+. Black can only respond with 27...gxf6, since 27...Kh8 28.Qxf8#. Then white has 28. exf6, and now black cannot simultaneously defend against the dual threats of 28.Qxf8+ Kxf8 29.Rd8# and 28. Qg3+ Kh8 29.Qg7#      Feb-16-10 R Mateo vs C Cuartas, 1984    sightlesswisdom: Black would like to promote his pawn to a queen on b1, but white has Rh5, quickly winning back the queen. Black can however play Be1+. Now if white captures on e1, (or plays Kd1 or Kd3), black will promote the pawn to a queen with check, making Rh5 impossible for white. If ...
