Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022

Liverpool CC vs Steinitz, 1893
Honza Cervenka: 20.Qh5? was an unfortunate slip in very promising situation. After 20.Nge7+ Nxe7 21.Bxe7 Rxe7 (21...Qc8 22.Bxf6 +-) 22.Nxe7+ black cannot take the Knight for 23.Qd5+ and 24.Qxa8, and so white won pure Exchange with advantage and ...

Bobby Fiske: Thanks. Now I understand why Magnus didn't capture the pawn on f3. He was on the right path, but not precise enough playing with 1 second increment.

V Svensons vs K Svenson, 1892
CarlHaffner: Deutsche Schachzeitung 1895, p. 166: „Die Partie wurde als Remis abgebrochen, wie uns scheint mit Unrecht, da 37. Tf3 voraussichtlich den Gewinn erzwungen hätte.“ (“The game was abandoned as a draw, wrongly it seems to us, ...

Bobby Fiske: The match format was 90min 5+1, 60min 3+1 and 15min 1+1 (bullet), although all are labeled "Blitz" it seems. In the Bullet games in both Magnus matches, there are some lacklustre games towards the end, since the outcome already was ...
