lentil has kibitzed 1548 times to chessgames   [more...]

Aug-08-24 M Cebalo vs Vasiukov, 2014    lentil: First I saw that Nh7+ frees square g5 for a B skewer of K and Q, but that BK can avoid it by retreating to e7. Then I saw that Nd5 would be mate except for the P/c6, so that Qd5 to threaten Qe6# was allowed. But after ... Qe7. I didn't notice that then BK cannot retreat then to e7 ...      Aug-07-24 Bo Pang    lentil: None of his opponents was particularly strong. Nonetheless, 11 - 0 - 0 is impressive.      Aug-06-24 A Mero vs B Pang, 2024    lentil: 9. ... Nb8 threat a6 seems to win.      Aug-02-24 P K Wells vs A Ghasi, 2024   lentil: oops! (28. ...

Even this B-player would try it.      Jul-03-24 M Judd vs B White, 1870   lentil: 18. ..Kf6 19 Bxg5+ crush      Jul-01-24 Lasker - Marshall World Championship Match (1907)    lentil: "Tedious play aimed at wearing down my opponent is averse to my nature." Yes, and psychological warrior Lasker exploited this weakness!
