Apr-30-13 Anand vs Svidler, 2013   marljivi: 10...Nd4 is a novelty and it looks like a good one,since two moves later white will more or less have to take on e6,thereby making black's pawn structure stronger in the center(fxe6).However,more advantageous for white seems to be 12.Ne7Qe7 13.Be6fe6 (13...Qe6 14.f4) 14.f4,etc.      Apr-29-13 Botvinnik vs Bronstein, 1951   marljivi: Flohr and Ragozin were Botvinnik's seconds during this match.      Apr-28-13 Adams vs Svidler, 2013   marljivi: Actually I doubt that black can equalise here with 9...Bb7 (If he then succeeds with d6-d5,his center will be completely shaky,like in the game,and if he doesn't,his bishop on b7 will just shoot into the well-defended pawn on e4.Moreover,square f5 will then be weak,and white even ...      Apr-19-13 Tarrasch vs Schlechter, 1894   marljivi: Ok,I have to correct myself-after 35...dc5 white's best choice is to play 36.Rg3!...(Not 36.Rg5h6! 37.Rg3...(37.Re5?Kf6!)37...Rd4 38.Bd4cd4 39.Rg4Rg4 40.fg4c5,since now there is no g5-move,and 36.Rg7?!-as suggested by me in my previous comment-is also not that clear:36...Bg7 ...      Apr-18-13 Schlechter vs Chigorin, 1907   marljivi: Yes,and there is also 25...Kf7 26.Qd5Kf6 27.Qg5Kf7 28.Qh5Kf8 29.Bg6Be6 30.Re6Rd1 31.Ne1 ,also with mate in a few more moves.      Apr-06-13 Fischer vs Portisch, 1962   marljivi: I have also tried to improve black's play with 26...h5!?,in order to fix white's g pawns or simplify the position in case of g3-g4,but here Portisch actually played well with 26...g5,eventually achieving draw-position at move 34.Position is by no means easy for black,but 26...h5!? ...      Apr-01-13 Radjabov vs Carlsen, 2013    marljivi: Well,white can draw the game in case if he doesn't play 64.a4?!(maybe even after that move),but the position is by no means without "tricks".So,white could proceed here with 64.Nd4Kd6 65.Nb3a4 (If 65...Bg8? 66.c5bc5 67.Na5=) 66.Nd2Kc5 and now white is in zugzwang,so he must give up      Mar-02-13 Tal vs Petrosian, 1974   marljivi: 21...Bh6 22.Re8!!Qe8 23.Qf6Bg5 (23...Qc6 24.Bf7 )24.Qg6Kh8 25.Qh5Kg7 26.Qg5Kh7 27.Rd4Qe1 28.Bf1 .No,no,Tal is Tal...      Jan-25-13 Fischer vs E Westing, 1964   marljivi: 40...e5 draws.      Nov-20-12 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1849    marljivi: Has anybody pointed out yet,that white was totally lost in this game,or am I missing something?
