Jan-30-11 Kotronias vs Ivanchuk, 2011 
| |
|
Shajmaty: Vassilios (the Greek) had Vasyl (the Ukranian) beaten, but he let him escape. Nice game, the most entertaining of the tournament so far.
|
|
| | Dec-14-10 London Chess Classic (2010)
| |
Shajmaty: Agreed, <Kinghunt>. I believe both 69.  g8 and 69. f7 won.
|
|
| | Sep-29-10 Shirov vs E Berg, 2010
| |
Shajmaty: Alexei improves the known 13.  g1 with 13. g5. Wild game!
|
|
| | Sep-26-10 Jobava vs Carlsen, 2010
| |
|
Shajmaty: I guess Carlsen missed 19. h4! And, yes, <whiteshark>, I agree the last chance to draw would have been 27...ad8. After that, it looks like a clean win to me.

| |
|
Shajmaty: Yeah, 12... b5 is strong!
|
|
| | Aug-31-10 Judit Polgar vs A Escobar Forero, 2008
| |
|
Shajmaty: <OneArmedScissor: Where did Judit go wrong?> Maybe with 17. c1? 17. b3 or even 17. xd4 were worth a try...
|
|
| | Aug-30-10 Nijboer vs Navara, 2006

|
| | Feb-24-10 Linares (2010)
| |
|
Shajmaty: If Gelfand doesn't blunder ('cause Topalov will try hard), Grischuk will make it two in a row. Congratulations!
