tTinker has kibitzed 18 times to chessgames   [more...]

May-18-07 Kramnik vs Svidler, 2005   tTinker: Now being white means you get the first move but doesn't guarantee you win the game.      May-18-07 E Steiner vs Alekhine, 1921    tTinker: Alekhine's Defense is a sound opening by having an independent merit over other black defeneses.      May-18-07 B Gamback vs R Nevanlinna, 2001    tTinker: You don't even need to resign until you are a move from an absolute checkmate. There was this one game or something where Botvinnik had four pieces hanging, yet his opponent couldn't capture any of them. Now don't be captain obvious and point out that this is a pin, it's still ...      Aug-16-06 Short vs Salov, 1990    tTinker: This is the kind of ending I'm afraid of, you though a complex bishops of opposite with a lot of pawns did it. I guess bishop endings take longer because they can only hit half the squares. With knights, it appears more cut and dry but I could be wrong.      Aug-16-06 P Carlsson vs G Burgess, 2002    tTinker: In the book 2010 chess odyessy or a book like that, they showed that ending can't win and what the board looks like after trying after many many moves.      Aug-16-06 A Dgebuadze vs P Claesen, 2005    tTinker: 17. Bb2, a6 18. B*Q a*Q 19. c*b and white looks pretty good no matter what black does, he'll gain control of the board first with the iniative.      Aug-14-06 Alexander Alekhine    tTinker: Is life perfect?      Aug-13-06 Lev Alburt    tTinker: If you study enough, you'll see this several times and look at it like an every day snack. It's pretty easy. To get better at chess, you study endings, tactics, and whole master games for starts. Then go onto the other exotic things. As for the Karpov, Fischer debate. Fischer ...      Aug-13-06 Garry Kasparov    tTinker: Don't people lost chess games by overanalyzing positions?      Aug-13-06 Fischer vs Benko, 1963    tTinker: tTinker: gf looks ugly to me. It clearly splits the pawns and gives good squares for whites pieces, I guess at GM level, allowing your opponent to exchange the fienchetto pawn is not a good idea, but it hasn't been too much of a problem for me. After Ne2 the final move, Qd8 looks ...
