  JointheArmy: How to win with black by Kasparov
Sep-03-17  Wyatt Gwyon: One of my very favorite Kasparov games. White played very solidly, and then, suddenly, he has about 3 separate positional weaknesses that Kasparov is targeting simultaneously.
Sep-03-17  tonsillolith: The Black position after <32...Rdf3> has some hella geometry going on. It definitely gives the sense of a high energy player who really knows how the pieces move.
