May-18-12 Kamsky vs Nakamura, 2012 
| |
|
Magic Castle: The final blow is Kf1.
|
|
| | May-16-12 Lenderman vs Kamsky, 2012
| |
|
Magic Castle: I think Kamsky will lose in the end game.
|
|
| | Dec-26-11 Ivanchuk vs Kamsky, 2009
| |
|
Magic Castle: <7Heaven: The dub title means because of time control?> No. Its the 50 moves rule which means, if no piece was captured after 50 moves, the game is a draw.

| | Dec-25-11 L Shamkovich vs Anguiano, 1978
| |
|
Magic Castle: I disagree with the annotation of black's move at move 17....Nd5. If, 17...fe6, the correct continuation is:
18. Qg6+...Kh8 19. ef6...Bf8. 20. Ne4...c5. 21. f7 <Not Ng5> (threatening Qg8#) Bg7 (forced) 22. Nf6 (Threat Qh7#) Bf6 (forced). 23. Qh6#

| | Dec-25-11 Christiansen vs Seirawan, 1978
| |
|
Magic Castle: The Queen was in a camouflage. I guess Seirawan did not even see its threat until the rook sacrifice.
|
|
| | Dec-25-11 Prusa vs Lasker, 1924
| |
|
Magic Castle: Too bad Prusa must have lost on time. Black has no defense to prevent a mating check at h4. After 24. g5 Kh5 (only move) 25. Qf4 threatening mate at Qh4.
|
|
| | Dec-24-11 Vasiukov vs P Petran, 1977
| |
|
Magic Castle: Oh, I see. after 28... Rf6 29. Qg5+ and one of the rooks goes. If the King moves away then 30. Qf6 and if 29...Rg6, then 30. Qe2.
|
|
| | Dec-16-11 Capablanca vs R Raubitschek, 1906
| |
|
Magic Castle: <erniecohen> Look again 31. .d2 loses to 32. Rb4. Remember the queen cannot leave the diagonal and cannot deliver a check and lastly the rooks captures at b8 with check so d2 is useless.
|
|
| | Dec-14-11 Alekhine vs H Daly, 1929
| |
|
Magic Castle: A queen check or any attacking move by the queen is met with e5. But looks like white can probably only squeeze a draw by perpetual check at the most after Kf2.

| | Dec-04-11 Leko vs R Fontaine, 1995
| |
|
Magic Castle: 1. a3 as a first move gives black the initiative to chose whether to go for a King or Queen pawn opening. So there is nothing spectacular to it. After 1. a3, it is now white who would play the role of black. Its the same move as 1. Nf3. No big deal or impact on the game ...
