thomastonk: <Tabanus: Here it is stated that he has made "About 20 trips of short duration, to Europe".> Is this a singular case or to which extent is it possible to trace trips between the United States and Europe? Thank you for a reply.

M Petrov vs B Heberla, 2012
M Psaila: Strange that only this short draw surfaces from the 2012 Malta Open when GM Heberla won the event with 7.5/9!

R Bandal vs Tarjan, 1969
Tullius: I think that <wordfunph> has a point; 38.Rb3 does not drop a Rook, but sacs the exchange, in return for which White gets a position that wins quickly: 38.Rb3 Ra8+ 39.Kb4 Rb8+ 40.Kc5 R2xb3 41.Rxf1 and Black can resign. For instance: ...

Emms vs J M Hodgson, 1996
RookFile: Right. One way to view this is to say that black has only two pawns on the kingside vs. white's two on the kingside. I realize that he's got 5 pawns, but they are effectively worth only two and have no hopes of promoting to a queen. ...

Bronstein vs Botvinnik, 1951
plang: 7..h6 was a specialty of Botvinniks though it is rarely played anymore. 11..Be7 was new; 11..h5 and 11..Qb6 are more popular as well as more thematic. 15 Rf3 was played with the intention of meeting 15..0-0-0 with 16 b4!..Qc7 17 Nd5..exd 18
