Just a woodpusher coming back to the game after a long absence...and still floundering...

   Aug-05-23 Y Lapshun vs B Reichstein, 2000
 
BwanaVa: A consummate KIA beating.
 
   Mar-01-23 Adams vs A Sefton, 2023
 
BwanaVa: True Dat!
 
   Oct-12-22 Niemann vs Robson, 2022 (replies)
 
BwanaVa: LivBlockade...I had the same thought. Looking at the engine over on Chess24 apparently Black has adequate compensation. He picks up a tempo with ...Qb6 hitting Rook and b2 pawn, potentially another tempo with Rd8 hitting the queen, and can pick up another tempo by holding off ...Ba6
 
   Sep-30-22 D Arutinian vs D Doric, 2006 (replies)
 
BwanaVa: I was thinking if 36.Bxg6 hxg6 37.Qxg6+ Kh8 38.Bg7+ Kg8 then 39. Bg7-f6+ (cutting off e7) Kf8 (forced) 40. Qh6+ and mate next move (either 40...Rg7 41. Qxg7# or 40...Kg8 41. Qh8#.
 
   Aug-08-22 S Gagare vs G Shweta, 2008 (replies)
 
BwanaVa: As Richard O'Keefe would have said, "The Kavalek Bucktooth can be problematical"
 
   Jul-13-22 K Rogoff vs J Bellon Lopez, 1969
 
BwanaVa: 10.c4 was a widely played line BITD against Q-side castling in the KIA>
 
   Apr-21-22 Larsen vs R Byrne, 1973
 
BwanaVa: This game is not listed as one of Byrne's brilliancies, but it should be noted that this win gave him just enough room to stay ahead of Larsen, Smejkal, and Huebner for the third qualifier spot out of the Leningrad Interzonal.
 
   Oct-22-21 Robson vs J Fedorowicz, 2010 (replies)
 
BwanaVa: Fed peak rating-FIDE 2574 (1999), USCF 2672 (approx 1993).
 
   Oct-13-21 Petrosian vs Y Estrin, 1968 (replies)
 
BwanaVa: I would note Spassky's full comment after the 1966 World Championship match: "It is to Petrosian's advantage that his opponents never know when he is suddenly going to play like Mikhail Tal."
 
   Aug-30-21 Xiong vs Caruana, 2021
 
BwanaVa: Also...not a Kings Indian Attack. Some type of reversed Gruenfeld, perhaps...
