|
wasspwot: Solving the puzzle was the least of my problems with this game. I played through it after solving the problem - and I play the Sveshnikov myself - and on several occasions I found it very hard/impossible to understand what is going on. Will have to put it through Fritz. |

|
wasspwot: <zooter> maybe it just seems the simplest tuesday yet because you are getting better at solving them? These problems seem to me to be getting easier all the time, but I like to think that's because I'm getting better at them! |

|
wasspwot: what an exceptionally ugly unappealing game.
I managed to get this problem solved but only because I failed yesterday and it's essentially the same thing. I suppose this is how we learn.
But really, what a dispiriting game, chess shouldn't be played like this. |

|
wasspwot: what difference does it make as long as you win the game? The only one who looks like a nancy is the person who gets mated on move 6. |

Jun-16-09 M Rychagov vs R Slobodjan, 1999 
|
wasspwot: This puzzle adheres to my "1st rule of chess problems", which is that if theres a RxN or RxB available its almost always the key move. Certainly always worth investigating first because as often as not its the answer. We think of these as sacrifices but in a lot of positions giving |
