Woody Wood Pusher Member since Jun-09-08 · Last seen Jul-02-08 My favourite player is Anatoli Karpov. I got a copy of his best games when I was just starting out and it has remained my model for chess play ever since. I also like Kasparov, and the brilliancies of Alekhine and Tal, but positional play remains the most appealing to me!

Jul-02-08 Karpov vs K Payrhuber, 1969   Woody Wood Pusher: wow quick game. Black should have played 10...e6and guarded that diagonal.      Jul-02-08 Kupreichik vs Karpov, 1966   Woody Wood Pusher: there is no mate in 3 on move 27... This game is amazing, White sacrifices so much for the attack but black remains one step ahead and takes out the white king in one lethal attack. 16 b4 is such a great move, what a fantastic trap!      Jul-02-08 Short vs I Rogers, 1992    Woody Wood Pusher: well i saw Bxh7 and Rxd7 and was sure a mate was there but didnt see it all. Hopefully in a real game I would.      Jul-02-08 Naiditsch vs Kramnik, 2008    Woody Wood Pusher: Well just to reiterate Drawnik getting destroyed in a Petrof is GREAT for chess because players like him should be punished more often! Offering a draw on move 15 to a guy 150 points below you? This isn't what any real chess fan wants to see! Drawnik needs to go out, take ...      Jul-01-08 Vladimir Kramnik    Woody Wood Pusher: Kramnik plays in a positional style but once he is out of his preparation he lacks the intuition and understanding needed to find his way. Naiditsch (who?) uncorks a novelty in Kramnik's main defense and he goes to pieces playing Ng6?? after 45 mins thought? My Master ...      Jun-30-08 H Kramer vs J J Van Oosterwijk Bruyn, 1946    Woody Wood Pusher: saw Bxg7 but I dont think black defended as well as he could have and the edge for white is quite small for a monday puzzle.      Jun-26-08 Kiril Georgiev vs I Rogers, 1993    Woody Wood Pusher: scrub that it loses. should have seen 28...Qa8+, oh well      Jun-25-08 Anatoli Karpov    Woody Wood Pusher: I agree Percy, Karpov's overall score against Kasparov shows just how formidable he was even past his peak. Karpov went through Spassky, Korchnoi (probably would have gotten Fischer in the end) and then battled Kasparov in perhaps the greatest championship matches of all ...      Jun-23-08 Keres vs Wade, 1954    Woody Wood Pusher: Rh8+....Monday makes me feel like a pro again! By Sunday I will transform back into an amateur no doubt!      Jun-16-08 Sasikiran vs D Rombaldoni, 2006    Woody Wood Pusher: i was searching for a mate but the material win after Qxe4 is good enough
