Feb-02-13 Tal Shaked    smalldreams: "Hello Mr. uhm-... 'Shuckeeed.' Nice day for a tournament. My name's Steve. What's yours?" "Tal" *resign*      Feb-02-13 E Ubilava vs Kupreichik, 1983    smalldreams: The big problem with ...Qb2 is that it turns white's Qa8+ into a zwischenschach after which white can eventually play Rc2 to cut losses. Black still comes out ahead but the position is less clear imo.      Feb-02-13 Steinitz vs H Voigt, 1885    smalldreams: Is this actually a simul game?      Jan-25-13 Polgar vs Shirov, 1995    smalldreams: A standard "Robatsch" fianchetto followed by FIVE pointless pawn moves as white builds an intimidating center. My kid could probably look at the board after move 7 and tell you there's something wrong with that. Judit Polgar plays this game brilliantly and deserves credit for it      Jan-23-13 Nenad Panic    smalldreams: Regardless of how you pronounce it, if I sat across the board from this 2300 I'd probably be the one panićing.      Jan-23-13 Lilienthal vs Kotov, 1948    smalldreams: btw am I the only one who keeps reading "Botvinnik System, Lethal Variation" ?      Jan-22-13 Cochrane vs Mohishunder, 1854    smalldreams: <But of course there is an aesthetic argument against a pointless queen sacrifice, especially if it takes longer than the non-sacrificial alternative.> Seconded. I find nothing beautiful about throwing away a queen when it actually prolongs the inevitable win instead of ...      Jan-21-13 Anish Giri    smalldreams: Love the thousand-mile-stare btw http://www.fredlucas.eu/content/Tat...      Jan-21-13 F Steinthorsson vs S Fridthjofsdottir, 2012    smalldreams: "fridthoyoff'sdaughter"      Jan-20-13 Anand vs Kramnik, 2005    smalldreams: It's notable because people have talked about it for 10 pages.
