Aug-25-25 Fischer vs Benko, 1959 
|
drleper: Haha <38.Kh1>, if that's real then Fischer had a sense of humour :P <Cecco: Understandably, <pepechuy> wondered whether Fischer really played 38. Kh1. Even though the position is still winning for White, he can't afford to keep his king on h1. He might as well ... |

drleper: <they are relentlessly slagged by players everywhere who couldn't touch them on the best day of their lives.> Yep, pretty much sums all that up. |

May-13-25 Caruana vs B Deac, 2025 
|
drleper: <perfidious: At first glance, this seemed to me to be a poor form of the Centre Game for White; after ten moves he already looks to have the inferior position.>
Just curious, what makes you say that white's position is inferior? |

drleper: <jerseybob: <drleper: "virtue signaling" is quite an annoying phrase.> With an annoying reality attached to it.>
A reality usually existing only in the minds of the people who throw the phrase around ;) |

Jan-16-23 Lasker vs Rubinstein, 1914 
|
drleper: <Honza Cervenka: Rubinstein should not go for the Rook ending by 54...c5? With Bishops on the board black could probably hold the game with optimal play, or at least his practical chance on successful defense would be much greater there than in a Rook ending, where white can ... |

Nov-25-22 D Anton Guijarro vs J Moussard, 2022 
|
drleper: 80.h4?? gxh4?? is not a move order glitch, it really happened (the increment was 10 seconds). Unfortunately for white the bishop was the right colour for a win, so 80...Bxa4 81.hxg5+ Kxg5 was not even good enough for a draw. Over 5,000 rating points at the board—happens to the ... |
