Apr-22-13 Smyslov vs Tal, 1964 
| |
|
dejavu: Always thought the king of tactics had equal competition in Nezhmetdinov, Alkhine or even Bronstein/Kasparov but what was interesting to me is his endgame prowess in action. Another great effort is Fischer vs Tal, 1959

| | Dec-02-12 McShane vs Carlsen, 2012
| |
|
dejavu: Carlsen Grind is machine-like and hence imperceptible and seemingly innocuous and his opponents usually don't know what hit them when it is too late. He does not rush an attack or miss a sequence which is agonizing and bores his opponents to death or mate.

| | Oct-09-12 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2012

| | Dec-11-11 McShane vs Kramnik, 2011
| |
|
dejavu: if one counts the near wins against Carlsen and Naka, Luke is the duke of London Classic; Vlad should be careful today. In the end he should be able to draw hi game.

| |
|
dejavu: Just when Grischuk spends so much time to invent creatively and reach a seemingly advantageous position, look and and behold there is a Svidler waiting for him with the right response and plenty of time to boot.

| | Sep-09-11 Svidler vs Judit Polgar, 2011
| |
|
