Oginschile: Both of these players have left us amazing gifts to study and admire, but none seem to shine brighter than when these two masters squared off against each other. I never tire of playing through this game, or this one : Nezhmetdinov vs Tal, 1961

Oginschile: Very nice zugzwang here.

|
Oginschile: Nakamura's defense simply flows together to magically close every corridor that Yifan opens. It seems white's attempts at aggression simply ended in a ruined position. Very solid performance from Nakamura.

| | May-17-12 Judit Polgar vs Kramnik, 1996
| |
|
Oginschile: Kind of a cool little game. Looks like Judit found herself in some positional trouble, but very instructive how Kramnik time and again sidesteps the landmines Judit keeps dropping on the position. Lesser players may well have lost a limb or two in Judit's subtle counters... but ...
