Zhbugnoimt has kibitzed 572 times to chessgames   [more...]

Feb-09-24 Tal vs Speelman, 1987   Zhbugnoimt: Having taken a slightly closer look with the engine, it seems 13…0-0 was the losing move! 13…b5 was necessary. After 14.Ne5 Black can never play b5 quickly enough, and White’s kingside attack plays itself.      Jul-06-23 Gelfand vs Karpov, 1994   Zhbugnoimt: This game is typical of Karpov in this tournament: he misplays the opening, gets a lost position (e.g. 24.c5 is winning; it is very difficult for Black to meet the threat of c6, and if 24...Bd5 then 25.f5 +- and Black is too clumsy to reposition for the defense), but keeps ...      Mar-13-23 Kuzubov vs A Zubov, 2014    Zhbugnoimt: <An Englishman> your analysis makes sense, but is a bit simplistic. Black's "big pawn" gets traded for White's Bishop on d3 and the minority attack is not so dangerous if dealt with properly. I had a game against a ~2560 GM (so about 130 point rating difference) where I ...      Mar-16-22 G Sargissian vs Firouzja, 2021   Zhbugnoimt: If 39.Bxc4 then Black simply goes 39...Ne6. White has 3 natural options, all losing: 1) 40.Bxe6 Rxc2 2) 40.Kd3 Nf4+ and the King can't keep defending the Bishop 3) 40.Bd3 Rxc2 41.Bxc2 Nc4+ 42. K-any Nxa3 and Black is up a piece.      May-12-18 Team White vs Team Black, 2017    Zhbugnoimt: I'm pretty amazed by the accuracy of White's play considering computer's weren't allowed. Assuming it's been accurate of course. <62.Rh8+> seems forced in order to stop Black's pawn from getting to ...      Apr-01-18 Vachier-Lagrave vs Anand, 2018    Zhbugnoimt: I'm not saying 21...e5! 22...Qc4! was anything close to easy; it's an engine tactic that is extremely difficult for any human. I just think that Anand wasn't worried enough at that point      Dec-26-17 V Laznicka vs Duda, 2014   Zhbugnoimt: Starting move 33 could be a weekend puzzle.      Dec-11-17 Grischuk vs Bareev, 2001   Zhbugnoimt: 17...Be7 18.Rae1 is a simple win; 18...Rd7 is met with 19. Rf6! winning easily      Dec-11-17 AlphaZero vs Stockfish, 2017    Zhbugnoimt: 19..Qe6 loses to 20.g4! (Houdini 5 depth 28)      Nov-18-17 Korchnoi vs J Arnason, 1987    Zhbugnoimt: I got 40...Rad8! winning on the spot in a few seconds, and was surprised Arnason missed it. Then again, nobody was telling him he had a forced win, and it was move 40.
