Apr-09-13 Sutovsky vs Caruana, 2013    molinov: <Eyal> Bd2 is a crafty resource, probably easy to miss over the board. I really don´t see what else could have deterred Caruana from taking the pawn. Maybe Nxc6 anyway and he thought it would be even stronger because the knight would be hanging if he took on c6? Looks dubious,      May-20-12 Granda-Zuniga vs Seirawan, 1993    molinov: It's been 8 years since I posted part of the commentary made by Seirawan. I can't find the magazine but if I do I'll translate what's missing.      May-11-11 Chekhov vs Y Zotkin, 1979    molinov: <TuxedoKnight> That same game is featured in Claude Chabrol´s L´oeil du malin. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056302/ I recommend the movie, and not just for its chess-related scenes.      Apr-27-11 I Kurnosov vs E Semenova, 2011   molinov: KurNoSov      Apr-12-11 Spassky vs Averkin, 1973    molinov: <solskytz: (to Molinov) why is White completely lost after 30. Na4 Rc6 (!!) ?> After 31. Qf4 Bg5 is stonger than Qxa4 and completely decides the game in black´s favour. I don´t know if there is a word for a move that is not possible at a certain moment, but is a latent threat.      Jan-20-11 Carlsen vs E L'Ami, 2011    molinov: No computer will deem 35... Ra3 a mistake. In spite of this, I believe that 35...Rd6 would have secured the draw for black by forcing the exchange of rooks. What do you think? Was L´Ami going for something more here?      May-12-10 V Gashimov vs Ivanchuk, 2010    molinov: Very good play by Gashimov. I tried to look for improvements in Ivanchuk´s play. I think 23... c5 would have been better than g6. Knowing how the game ended it seems that this move created the weaknesses in f6 and h6 that would cost Vassily the game. 33.Qd2 was a thing of beauty ...      Mar-20-10 Ivanchuk vs Grischuk, 2010    molinov: 39... Qb7 ruins the game for black. Qa7 or Qxf3 should hold.      Jan-04-10 Caruana vs Kamsky, 2009    molinov: 37.Rc4 is much stronger than Nb4. After 37... Nf5 38.Rb4 White should win with relative ease.      Dec-13-09 L Bruzon vs Caruana, 2009   molinov: Fritz finds winning lines around move 39. These lines are complex and are easy to miss over the board, specially when aproaching move 40. 59.Kb3 may have cost Bruzon the game. 59.Kb5 makes black´s position hopeless.      Nov-29-09 Judit Polgar vs Gelfand, 2009     Aug-10-09 E Inarkiev vs Leko, 2009     Jun-21-09 Ivanchuk vs Shirov, 2009     Jan-24-09 Hector Decio Rossetto     Nov-20-07 Robert James Fischer     Mar-23-07 G Sargissian
