R Horvat vs V Sokolov, 1953
GoldenKnight: I agree, easy once you see it, but it took a little longer than usual for a Monday.

T Gareyev vs I Bolat, 2024
DaltriDiluvi: Between move 47 and 72 (or thereabouts), this is a game with lots of action.

M Momyn vs M Shah, 2024
DaltriDiluvi: The game could have ended <64.Kf5 (or Kh5) Qf3+ 65.Kg6 Re6#>.

Hort vs N Padevsky, 1966
Honza Cervenka: 31...Bf6 was a mistake. Instead of that 31...Bd4! 32.b5 e5 could hold the game equal.

W Whisler vs Fischer, 1956
Polemarque: Fischer was black on R2 and R3, so he was probably white on R1 and R4

Dubov vs V Belous, 2015
Gaito: [DIAGRAM] BLACK TO MOVE
25...g5?? was the losing mistake. According to engine Komodo 13 the position would be equal after the correct 25...Kh8 26.Rxg7 Qh6.
This game was very exciting from beginning to end, and maybe it should be better ...

R Toran vs D Horseman, 1957
FSR: Shockingly, Horseman did not play 1...Nf6, which, true to his name, he almost always played against everything except 1.e4.

Timman vs A H Williams, 1969
John Saunders: According to the Eales & Williams' book 'Alekhine's Defence' (Batsford, 1973, page 41), Black played 17...b5, not 17...h5, and it gives the moves up to White's move 20. The rest of the score seems to be OK. Black was one of the ...

B Pang vs M Ainakul, 2024
FM David H. Levin: After 64...Kc8,
[DIAGRAM] White played 65. Be8. The "tempo move" 65. Bh5 seems better, intending 65...Kd8 66. Nb7+ Kc8 67. Kc6, or 65...Kb8 66. Bg4. This inaccuracy aside, I agree with offramp's assessment of the White player.

J W Naylor vs D Horseman, 1957
FSR: No doubt Horseman would have met 2.c4 with 2...Nc6, the Black Knights' Tango.

F Olafsson vs D Horseman, 1957
FSR: In Horseman's first-round game, Szabo played 1.c4 against him and the game ended up transposing to the Nimzo-Indian with 4.e3 b6 - often called the Fischer Variation nowadays, though young Fischer wasn't playing it then. It seems that almost ...

Ashvin Balavignan vs H Cadag, 2023
FSR: 3.Nf3 is a flaccid response to the provocative 2...Bg4?!

Maroczy vs J Mieses, 1902
perfidious: <KEG....13. e4
Slowly playing to try to control the board.
13... fxe4

Maroczy was probably satisfied to have emerged from the opening with a small edge and with no tactical risks to confront. But now the play got funky

H Nezad vs M Kabamwanishi, 2020
YoungEd: I'm guessing this was a loss on time or an incomplete score, because Black looks fine here.

S J Solomon vs J Harris, 2018

J Kurlak vs B Pang, 2024

Staunton vs Saint-Amant, 1843
