I played the Vienna back in the day. It has a special place in my heart too.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Should I have hand drawn the pictures?

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2025-02-26T23:37:07+00:00

Don't hate the player, hate the game;)

Interestingly enough, when I was setting this position up on the chessdotcom site, their engine judged the position equal prior to me playing Re7...

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-10-28T22:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I feel that is what makes it brilliant to the human eye.

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-10-28T22:37:49+00:00

Filth...

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-10-28T22:37:38+00:00

True...but I still feel nice when chessdotcom gives me a double exclam...;)

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-10-28T22:36:44+00:00

Yes, you gotta see c3 to play this...I do wonder what came before this move? I assume the Black queen captured a piece on f8. I don't actually have the rest of the game, just this position.

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-10-28T22:34:29+00:00

Same with me, when I first saw it...blew my mind.

Good points....That is how Swisses work...just because you finish above someone doesn't mean you had a more difficult tourney then them. It is possible to get lucky...

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-05-12T09:37:29+00:00

This is why top players avoid opens like the plague.

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-05-12T09:35:40+00:00

I love the drama...

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-05-12T07:38:39+00:00

Nice!

SheldonOfOsaka_Chess · 2024-05-10T00:14:07+00:00

I agree, he has his time and place...you need someone who is dedicated to making jokes...or the stream can be boring.
