Aug-10-25 Gukesh - Duda Blitz Match (2025) 
| |
| PawnSac: < perfidious: Caruana's results in blitz have tended to be a notch less impressive.. ; I do not propose to descend into such mud-throwing.. One imagines that these players who hide behind their monitors and throw shade would soon be atomised by the likes of Caruana on the worst ... |

Aug-02-25 R Musalov vs A Allemann, 2001
| |
| PawnSac: < FSR: This game doesn't make a lot of sense to me. After 8...e5!?, many of both players' moves seem weak.> that's a big 10-4 there my friend. white's 11.e5 was atrocious! It actually weakens the E file for white. I lost interest in the game after that. We used to call it the ... |

Aug-01-25 Vladimir Kramnik
| |
| PawnSac: in all seriousness, Kramnik's behavior suggests mental/psychological instability, and begs the questions "what need is he trying to fill?" or "what drive is he trying to satisfy?". Now.. It's practically impossible for us to render an accurate "diagnosis" from our largely uninformed |

Aug-01-25 A Vitolinsh vs V Telman, 1967
| |
| PawnSac: < Sally Simpson: A good one this. > Indeed! If it was black to move, ..Bxd5 would be game over. But with white to play.. The BQ can't be trapped, and any provocation only drives her to a stronger square. Black already threatens ..Qxa2 so b4 is a pointless waste of a precious ... |

Jul-31-25 G Tringov vs V Urdinov, 1998
| |
| PawnSac: puzzles like this r entertaining but not the most challenging. don't get me wrong, I like them but I remember many of the "every Russian school boy knows.." admonitions I've heard in the past, like.. when attacking the enemy king position, if u have a rook or more plus in the piece ... |
