Jul-19-12 A Muzychuk vs Jobava, 2012 
| |
|
greenrook: Doesn't 12...Nxe5 simply win a pawn?
|
|
| | Jan-15-09 A Nickel vs The World, 2008
| |
|
greenrook: If we genuinely want to win this game then 32...b4 should be played.
It forces a loosening of white's king position, and allows black's king's rook an opportunity to swing over to the queenside.

|
greenrook: What is the winning procedure for White if Black doesn't play 45...Ng4 ?
|
|
| | Nov-28-08 Nigel Short
| |
|
greenrook: When I subscribed to British Chess Magazine a few years ago, all of the envelopes they posted out carried a position from a Nigel Short game.
The position as far as I remember was after Short played a surprise move ...Bh1 as black.
I thought it was from a game against Piket or ...

| | Nov-28-08 P Nikolic vs Short, 1992
| |
|
greenrook: Nikolic must have thought the Win was a formality until Short's e-pawn became "Man of the Match". The move 60. ...Rc1 was really nice. It seems obvious after you see it played, but perhaps more difficult to see in advance over the board.

| | Oct-24-08 Anand-Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)
| |
|
greenrook: Why has Anand had white 2 games running? - I haven't seen an explanation anywhere.
|
|
| | Sep-04-08 Carlsen vs Topalov, 2008
| |
|
greenrook: I predict an offbeat opening by Carlsen to upset Topalov's home preparation.
|
|
| | Aug-01-08 Keene vs R Rodriguez, 1980
| |
|
greenrook: Up until around move 38 black must have been fairly comfortable with the position.
Letting the white rook penetrate to the 7th rank together with some awkward-looking knight moves allows Keene back into the game.

| | Jul-31-08 Bacrot vs L Dominguez, 2008
| |
|
greenrook: Opening: Larsen
Middlegame: Fischer
Endgame: Keres
This team would be very hard to beat playing white OR black
|
|
| | Jul-30-08 L Dominguez vs Carlsen, 2008
| |
|
greenrook: Black's pawns are mobile on the queenside, but white's pawn are not a lot of help at the moment.
White needs to activate his minor pieces
