tcoxon39 has kibitzed 18 times to chessgames   [more...]

Oct-31-13 W Tabakiernik vs Keene, 1963    tcoxon39: 16. Bg5 seems good, leading to a rook/bishop trade, but after 17...h6 I was a little stumped because my narrow vision didn't see the b3 bishop. Seeing that, 18. Nxg6 is pretty obvious. I'll count this as partially solved.      Jun-23-13 Svidler vs Kasimdzhanov, 1999    tcoxon39: I think black was doing okay until 23...e4 It's not an obviously bad move, and I'm not sure what else to do. I think black's only hope is to try to put together an attack on the king. Maybe 23...c4      Jun-21-13 J O Fries-Nielsen vs D Gollub, 1983    tcoxon39: Great play by black. My line is not nearly so satisfying. 16...Rxf4 17. Bxf4 Bxf4 18. Rxf4 Qxg3 19. hxg4 Qxf4 Black is up a pawn and in position to take white's bishop and a couple of dangling pawns, putting it way up in material. White's king is almost unprotected. I think      May-29-13 Zvjaginsev vs Bologan, 2010    tcoxon39: Following the 35. Rxf8+ line, I like 36...h5 White has no way to defend against black promoting a pawn except to exchange(?). If white tries 37. e7 then: 37...Qf7+ 38. Kb1 Qf1+ 39. Ka2 Qc4+ if 40. b3 then: 40...Qxc2+ and perpetual if 40. Kb1 then: 40...Qf1+ and perpetual      May-27-13 T de Wit vs R Brandenburg, 2005    tcoxon39: Easy to be great at chess when presented a position like this. Rook sac clears the way to victory.      May-14-13 T Hickendorff vs R Van Bokhorst, 2005    tcoxon39: White's poor rooks - sitting on the middle files doing absolutely nothing while black is having his way with the king.      May-13-13 Chigorin vs Davydow, 1874    tcoxon39: I would have played 24. Qd7 and been devastated when black played 24...Qg3+ and forced a draw.      May-23-12 J Nogueiras vs M Gongora, 2001    tcoxon39: I'm a dope. Could not figure this out and then I realized I had the board the wrong way. Was so confused as to why people were saying everything is forced, but now all is right with the world.      May-07-12 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966    tcoxon39: 30. Qh8+ Kxh8 31. Nxf7+ Kg7 32. Nxg5      Apr-30-12 Gelfand vs M Ulybin, 1985    tcoxon39: 30. Qxd6 Black loses if takes the queen.
