| EyesofBlue: Excited about the new Kindle!!! Looks awesome.

Hoping the new Kindle will be cool |

| EyesofBlue: I agree with the general sentiment... today's was easier than yesterday. Fix those damn stars, Chessgames.com!

Jul-12-10 NN vs Blackburne, 1871

| EyesofBlue: Got it, but not without too long of a thought process. And it is only Monday?! |

Jul-10-10 Dzindzichashvili vs Ljubojevic, 1985
| |
| EyesofBlue: First Saturday puzzle, I got in a long time.... and I mean a LONG time. My regret with these puzzles, however, like most chess puzzles is that the answer is usually some kind of brazenly-looking sacrifice. Would I have seen this if this was real game.... where a ... |

Jun-17-10 R Shamshin vs I Polovodin, 1989
| |
| EyesofBlue: I got the key 55... Rh6+, but after that I was lost. Perhaps, rightfully so. After Black's 57th move, White's three legal moves apparently provide a Mate in 10, 9 or 8. M-10 58.Kb5 Qb1+ 59.Kc4 Qxa2+ 60.Kc3 Rh3+ 61.Kd4 Rh4+ 62.Kd3 Qb3+ 63.Rc3 Qd5+ 64.Ke3 Qe4+ 65.Kf2 Rh2+ 66.Kg3 ... |

| EyesofBlue: Is 15... Nc7 any better? (i.e., does it minimize loss of the queen?) |

Apr-17-09 A Romero Holmes vs B Kantsler, 2002
| |
| EyesofBlue: Pretty freaking awesome.
