tonim has kibitzed 19 times to chessgames   [more...]

Apr-17-19 G Sanakoev vs D Stern, 1968   tonim: I never saw game of chess where all 4 rooks are exchanged for knights. 15... Rc3; 17. Rh5; 20... Rd5; 31. Re5      Feb-17-19 M Antipov vs I Saric, 2019   tonim: Great game by Saric although I never seen an 2600+ player with white pieces in such passive position right after opening. After black's 20...c4! white is hopelessly pinned, it could be a nice puzzle.      Feb-08-19 B Khotenashvili vs E Paehtz, 2019   tonim: Final position is an easy win for white, if 55...Kf4 or Kg5 than 56.Qe3+ wins      Feb-02-19 L Gabrovsek vs Gligoric, 1939    tonim: You missed 29.Nc2 Ng1 :D      May-01-17 Browne vs V Rao, 1987    tonim: I used to play this variation with black pieces and I dont like 16...b6. I think 16...a6 is much better because white cant win exchange back with Bh6 + Bb5, bishop can go to f7 instead of d7 preventing both e5 and any king side attack, and black plan is simple b5, Rc8, Nc4 with active      Apr-18-17 M Bosiocic vs R Rapport, 2017   tonim: Marin could win with 58.Nb3 and share 1st place. He probably thought that NvsB endgame is easier to win but in pawn endgame there is forced win. One variation is 58.Nb3 Kf5 59.N:d2 cd2 60.K:d2 Ke4 61.Kc3 h4 62.gh4 K:f4 63.Kd4 Kf5 64.Kd5 Kf4 65.Kd6 Kf5 66.h5 Kg5 67.Ke7.      Feb-20-17 D Harika vs N Dzagnidze, 2017   tonim: 39... gf5?? is a blunder, instead after 39...B:b2 black is OK e.g. 40.Bd3 Rc1.      Feb-17-17 A Ushenina vs Tan Zhongyi, 2017   tonim: Also 61. Rg1 with threat Ra1# is easy win for Anna, if 61...Ka2 62. Rb1 and black will lose her rook or get mated.      Jan-23-17 A Espeli vs Andersen, 1952    tonim: After 13.d4 maybe even better is 13...Bg7 14.Kd2 (otherwise B:d4, B:b2, B:a1) Bh6+ and black gained tempo compared to 13... Bh6      Jan-15-17 Spassky vs Fischer, 1960    tonim: From book "Boris Spaski to move" by D. Bjelica: At age of 12 Spaski was recognized in USSR as very talented chess player and Tolush was assigned to be his personal trainer. Tolush was not impressed with kid's play and he ordered Spaski: "You play to calm and steady with no passion. ...
