A keen chessplayer from Varna,Bulgaria.Had some good results in national junior championships,but now playing just for fun. My favorite player...If I have to give one name,this is Tigran V.Petrosian.Yes he is not so popular,but it's worth studying his games,you'll appreciate his great positional understanding and intuition ,his technique and his ability to explain what's going on on the board in several simple words. In fact there are many other players,that I would also call "favorite".I could divide them in two groups:"elegant positional players":besides Petrosian i would put there Rubinstein,Capablanca and Smyslov and ""dynamic,creative players":Keres,Bronstein,Simagin,Nezmetdinov,Ste- in(Tal is rather particular one)

stanleys: Could be used as a puzzle. Crouch misses the pretty tactical shot 26.Rb8! Ra8 2.Ra1! winning

stanleys: Happy 90th birthday, GM Padevsky!
 
   May-26-23 Epishin vs F de la Paz Perdomo, 2006

stanleys: Crazy game! Didn't understand anything
 
   Aug-31-22 J Ayombo vs S Goundar, 2008
 
stanleys: Beautiful checkmate, a move earlier it would have been even more pretty :) Black seemed totally winning, but incredible turnaround happened in the endgame

stanleys: <SkySports> It's very strange, because there is no year of the death mentioned in the text before , simply (1921-?). Maybe there was a copy/paste from the previous line 6, about the player Gumerov, who died in 2011. I will try to get confirmation by other sources whether Mr. ...

   Feb-08-21 Dolmatov vs A Sokolov, 1990 (replies)
 
stanleys: The key moment was 14...e5?! - a poor decision by Sokolov, creating weaknesses and making his dark-squared bishop "bad". 14...a3!? 15.Rdc1!? (as Dolmatov intended to play), would have been an interesting continuation.
