Nov-09-09		AnalyzeThis: Very unusual opening play here. White must have had something, but black posed some interesting opening problems here.

Dec-09-09		Granny O Doul: Black missed a nice finish at move 30 (as was pointed out by Robert Byrne when he wrote it up for the NY Times).

Dec-05-10		tamar: On his DVD Greatest Hits V 2, Nigel Short pinpoints 22 Kh1? as a serious error, but I wonder if his reply 22...Bd4 is the best. Rybka 3 shows a miraculous nonchalant 23 Bd3 as nearly equal with the line 23...Bxc3 24 Bxf5 Bxf5 25 Nxb7 Qb6 26 Nxd6 with a confusing imbalance. -.31/16 Instead 22...Rxc3 23 Rxc3 Ne4 looks like a much surer win.

Apr-13-11		Eggman: Short misses mate in 5 (not uncommon when one is transfixed upon an alternative win) 30...Re1+ 31.Kg2 (31.Qf1 Qxh3) Rg1+ 32.Bxg1 Qg3+ 33.Kf1 Qxg1+ 34.Ke2 Qe1# Note that this game was part of the 1981 BBC Master Game series, so it would appear to have been played in 1981, not 1980.
