May-04-13 Christiansen vs Wojtkiewicz, 2006   znsprdx: Could 12...Ne4 be worth exploring? 12.....Ne4 13.NxNe4 BxNe4 now I'm not convinced the sac works 14. Bxe6 BxBg5+ 15.QxBg5 fxBe6 Now 16.Nxe6 is not playable :) So then if Qxg7 maybe 0-0-0 is good enough 17.exd6 Qxd6 18.R[h] e1 R[h] g8 with a lively game      Apr-29-13 Nakamura vs Morozevich, 2013    znsprdx: - Moro had a 'slam dunk ' after 22.Bd2.He probably chose ...Nc3 because he didn't like the counter-play in the seemingly obvious Na3 perhaps because of 23.Rxb4!? cxRb4 24.NxNa3 Bc3 25.Nc4 resulting in a rather volatile position Personally I think the recapture23... bxBc3 would ...      Apr-01-13 World Championship Candidates (2013)    znsprdx: Wow Bb2! This was a fantastic game - Kudos to Svidler!! He had Carlsen's number - he didn't let himself become intimidated - even by the cheap attempt to trap the Bishop. A good lesson: sometimes getting what you want can be your undoing.      Mar-30-13 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2013    znsprdx: after 20.fxe3, I was almost certain Qg6 forced mate-as perhaps did Kramnik with his reply Ne7, also the only way to defend against Rh5, which seemed to be the natural try as it regains the sacrificed piece ...Ng8 22.Be4 Nh6 23.Bxb7. As enticing as e4 may have appeared it was ...      Mar-02-13 Anand vs Caruana, 2013    znsprdx: Would someone please provide the forced winning line for Black - I realize it must be some kind of zugswang theme resulting in K&P vs k&r but it seems there are many tactical threats in White's favor due to knight forks.      Jan-28-13 Wang Hao vs Anand, 2013    znsprdx: Has anyone looked at 35...R[1] d4 - it certainly provides more options than the suggested lines...since winning a2 may not so easy      Jan-22-13 Anand vs M Sisniega, 1987   znsprdx: edited from: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 http://kevinspraggett.blogspot.ca/ "Sad news from Mexico this past Saturday. Grandmaster, author and award winning film director, Marcel Sisniega died unexpectedly of a heart attack. (July 28,1959 - January 19, 2013.) ...In the summer of ...      Dec-15-12 Kamsky vs Leko, 2012    znsprdx: WOW.......38 Kf8 would have drawn according to Houdini - ain't Chess grand?      Dec-08-12 Anand vs Adams, 2012    znsprdx: <Illogic: ..... Adams also said that it was not really fair that such a move should be winning....> This is the singly most profound and relevant commentary one can make about the elusive character of "truth" in chess. It describes the reality of chess as being a pure 'game' ...      Oct-20-12 Yifan Hou vs Kosteniuk, 2012    znsprdx: Cute point is that b7 is a poison pawn which is a type of common oversight for the less than 1600 player - and sometimes even grandmasters :) judging by a recent host of pretty simple oversights at the 2700+ level 13.Nc5 the third time this knight moves: the real point behind ...
