e4 resigns has kibitzed 139 times to chessgames   [more...]

Jan-16-15 C H Alexander vs G A Thomas, 1932   e4 resigns: 4... Qh4+ 5. g3 Qxd4 instantly equalizes. I guess the game turned into something like a scandinavian for black with nice equality all around. Not what you would expect with a very sharp 3...e5!?      Jan-08-15 Weeramantry vs A Slimani, 2005    e4 resigns: I'm rather proud of myself for finding Bxc5. Now if I would only stop and think during my actually games.      Sep-04-14 K H Woschkat vs B Plath, 1989   e4 resigns: 11. exf6 is a really pretty in-between move, but I don't see any knockout for black if 11... Bxf6 or 11... Nxf6. I wish they would have played on just a bit longer, even if white is arguably winning.      Sep-03-14 I Golyak vs M Parry, 2004   e4 resigns: <ihatesicilian> In your line, 5... Bxc5 6. bxc5 Qxb2 7. Nc3 7... a4 looks playable. Now it looks very hard to trap the queen as Nf6/d5 is coming.      Aug-14-14 Nakamura vs M Waxman, 1999    e4 resigns: I got it up to 28. Nf5.      Jul-19-14 Fischer vs Taimanov, 1971    e4 resigns: I scored 126. So close!      Jul-19-14 L Benima vs B J Meijer, 1886   e4 resigns: Probably better was 5...Nc5. 5... Be7? is a blunder which loses a piece to 6. Qd5! After 10. Bd3! white has a forced win of more material since the e5 pawn is strong. So black could have resigned at any time.      Jul-17-14 Rybka vs Fruit, 2008    e4 resigns: The endgame is rather interesting. When you plug in the position after move 70... (black to move) on the Nalimov endgame tablebase, it says that Black should play 70... g6 and loses in 23 moves as opposed to 21 with 70...Ba2. Every move the computers played after that followed ...      Jul-16-14 Najdorf vs E Reinhardt, 1955   e4 resigns: BOSTER - It looks like a mate for white. 1. Qf1 Ke8 2. Qb5 Kf8 3. Qxc5 Ke8 4. Qe7. Also, good puzzle. I missed 29. Qh5! but 29. Rxf7 should win also.      Oct-25-12 K Rogoff vs S Spencer, 1969    e4 resigns: 20...Ke7 21. Rf7+ Kd6 22. Bf4+ Be5 23. Bxe5# All moves are forced. This is the shortest solution I found, and might not be the correct one. It does promise checkmate, though. 19...Nh5 20. Rf6+ Ke7 (Ke8 21. Re1+ Kd7 22. Rf7+ Kd6 23. Re6#) 21. Rf7+ Ke8 22. Re1+ It is fairly easy
