A wee review of a book from the 1986 Kasparov - Karpov Match.
My main grumble is the diagrams and the figurine notation.
The Knights are facing the wrong way! If you think that is
not much to grumble about then take a look. It’s very odd.
Complaint over we look at the Lolli Ending.
White to play and draw. Lolli 1763.
Then of course four RHP games where our boys have managed
to screw this up. Four examples one for each corner of the board.
Then some good RHP play! showing the Lolli Mate in action.
The Rook goes to g8 to stop Qg7 mate. 1....Rg8 2. Qxh7+ and mate next move..
This section has some nice RHP trickery including a smart game from Pawn Riot.
I wanted to stop there but out of sheer curiosity I wondered if I could
find anybody here missing the Lolli Mate......sad to say I found dozens.

I have seen all kinds of moves at kids events with quick OTB rates but here
we have days to make a move and yet...even me.... we make bad choices.
I'm positive it is because here the players are giving a massive simultaneous display
and have a huge game load and move too fast, my blunders have happened this way.
Others because the patterns have never pointed out them....that is where I come in.
I do get the occasional PM along the lines of : "I won a game because of something you had shown."

Well, I certainly have at one point. Your blogs are good, simple, and instructive; it's hard not to pick something up. More specifically, I don't know when you mentioned it, but I think the delayed Bxc6 in the Ruy Lopez and subsequent setup was one of your ideas I've used over the board and had good results with.

I've played it loads of times OTB with good results..
These two are probably my best two OTB wins with it. The players were/are quite good.
