Jan-25-19 Keres vs Benko, 1963   Beancounter: It's difficult to understand the preference for Rf8 rather than O-O on move 15.      Nov-22-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018    Beancounter: Chessvcr. The answer to your question is 'no'. The moves were given in the newspaper the following day. There was a TV news report in the evening about the match but that was all.      Nov-01-18 N Djukic vs M Gurevich, 2007    Beancounter: Well, I have to be missing something but I'm not quite clear what. Why would Gurevich resign here?      Sep-16-18 Fischer vs R Garcia, 1970    Beancounter: In my opinion Fischer played best chess of his career from 70-72.      Aug-23-18 N Arora vs B Samhouri, 2008    Beancounter: Er... isn't it thursday?      Jun-25-18 M Panchanathan vs M Surtees, 2009    Beancounter: Whoops!      Oct-31-17 Alexander Alekhine    Beancounter: 125th birthday today. I would have thought 'Chessgames' would have made GOTD one of his.      Aug-30-17 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1958    Beancounter: This is game 3 in Fischer's 60 memorables. He called it 'Bear Hug' and comments on Petrosians move 8, "Reckoning he can afford this loss of time in view of Black's misplaced 'KN'."      Oct-07-16 Kasparov vs Nakamura, 2016    Beancounter: It's games like this that make me realise that on my best day I'm not a tenth as good as these two on their worst.      Sep-14-16 Stahlberg vs Stein, 1965    Beancounter: Indeed. One wonders why Stahlberg didn't resign after black's 29th as the only defence involves the loss of a rook, which left him three pawns down. I can only guess that Stein's flag was hanging but that's just pure supposition.      Oct-21-15 Korchnoi vs Ivkov, 1955     Oct-19-15 Vaganian vs A Planinc, 1975     Aug-10-15 R Govedarica vs Gligoric, 1991    Jul-11-15 Timman vs Petrosian, 1973     May-19-15 Rubinstein vs Schlechter, 1912     Apr-08-15 V Chekhover vs F Duz-Khotimirsky, 1949     Dec-21-14 O Roething vs Capablanca, 1910     Oct-16-14 Unzicker vs Keres, 1956    Oct-11-14 Spassky vs Korchnoi, 1991    Oct-06-14 Keene vs J Tarjan, 1975     Sep-24-14 A Beliavsky vs J Tarjan, 1979     Jul-12-14 V Saigin vs Tal, 1954    May-26-14 Fischer vs S Schweber, 1970     Jan-28-14 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1982     Dec-04-13 G Weissgerber vs A van Nuess, 1933     Nov-19-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013     Nov-18-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013     Nov-13-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013     Nov-12-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013     Nov-10-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013     Nov-09-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013     Sep-14-13 Y Visser vs Speelman, 2006     Aug-05-13 Chandler vs Nunn, 1986     Jun-27-13 Timman vs Seirawan, 1978     May-02-13 Petrosian vs Tal, 1962     May-01-13 Botvinnik vs Alatortsev, 1932     Apr-18-13 Y Rokhlin vs Botvinnik, 1930     Jan-13-13 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Jan-04-13 Carlsen vs T Gulbrandsen, 2002     Oct-18-12 Keene vs Nunn, 1963     Jun-27-12 Morozevich vs Bologan, 2004     Jun-25-12 W Pietzsch vs Dzindzichashvili, 1965     Jun-20-12 Tal vs R Mascarinas, 1981     Jun-19-12 Santasiere vs E B Adams, 1926     Jun-11-12 R Ashley vs R Morton, 1980     Jun-04-12 S Sery vs Z Vecsey, 1921     Apr-25-12 Tal vs Benko, 1964     Mar-10-12 J Corzo vs Capablanca, 1901     Jan-01-12 Kasparov vs Short, 1999     Dec-07-11 J T Iliesco vs R Flores Alvarez, 1936     Jul-13-11 Fischer vs J Terrone, 1964     Jul-02-11 Kramnik vs D Andreikin, 2010     Jun-13-11 A Hordynski vs Wronicz, 1975     May-31-11 S Vaibhav vs C Yang, 2011     May-26-11 Y Visser vs T Lanchava, 2006     May-24-11 Grischuk vs Gelfand, 2011     May-23-11 J Mullon vs H Daurelle, 2011     May-16-11 R Primavera vs Jansa, 1976     May-09-11 K Bhatia vs Y Orlova, 2010     Feb-21-11 E Post vs F J Lee, 1905     Aug-30-10 H D Mueller vs A van Weersel, 2001     Sep-18-09 John Littlewood     Oct-13-07 H G Cole vs Capablanca, 1919    Aug-15-07 Turov vs E Postny, 2003     Aug-12-07 Smyslov vs Pachman, 1947     Aug-08-07 Dreev vs D Berkovich, 1992     Jul-30-07 Capablanca vs B H Villegas, 1914     Jul-29-07 Capablanca vs R Blanco Estera, 1913     Jul-18-07 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995     Jul-12-07 I Cheparinov vs Z Almasi, 2006     Jul-11-07 Sax vs E Hermansson, 2005     Jun-06-07 Tiviakov vs V Arbakov, 1989     May-29-07 S Ahmed vs Z Rahman, 2006     May-21-07 Moll vs Falkbeer, 1864     May-14-07 A Anastasian vs Tiviakov, 1999     Mar-13-07 Nunn vs Kasparov, 1986     Feb-15-07 H Schussler vs Y Rantanen, 1977     Feb-14-07 L Lederman vs K Pytel, 1977     Feb-12-07 J Robey vs Anderssen, 1862     Dec-14-06 Bronstein vs Botvinnik, 1951     Oct-12-06 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006     Jul-21-05 Kibitzer's Café     Jun-16-05 Salwe vs H Wolf, 1908     Sep-05-04 Reti vs Alekhine, 1925     Jun-26-04 Nakamura vs Adams, 2004     Jun-01-04 Fischer vs Tal, 1959
