| | May-04-12 Smyslov vs Ribli, 1983
| |
|
mjmorri: The final score could have been 4-1. In the final game, Ribli was about to lose a piece when he asked Smyslov for a draw. In a display of real class, Smyslov, who only need a 1/2 point to win the match, agreed.

| |

mjmorri: 1858 I assume. Poor Black King. With almost his entire army at home he stood little chance.

| | Feb-15-11 Alekhine vs Lasker, 1934
| |
|
