Feb-21-19 Keres vs Westerinen, 1973   Chizoad: This game is neat in that it takes on a similar characteristic to a Sicilian, Maroczy Bind. Check the position after move 13 for white.      Dec-11-18 H T Tu vs J Gonzalez Garcia, 2008    Chizoad: I went with the forcing line that starts with Qxh4: 26. Qxh4 Qxh4 27. Rxf8+ Rxf8 28. Rxf8+ Rxf8 29. Bxh4 Other move orders work, starting with Rxf8+ and then playing Qxh4. I don't think it matters. Although this sort of rook vs. minor pieces position might not "feel" ...      May-29-18 Norway Chess (2018)    Chizoad: Not that I have any business weighing in but I always suspected ChrisOwen's posts to be some sort of steganography in action.      Mar-30-18 Oscar Panno    Chizoad: As counterpoint to the Billy Wilder quote: I used to play in a home poker game for low stakes. One exceedingly garrulous guy in the game, Stu, would crack some hilarious jokes. A new player sat in one time and said to the table "That Stu guy is pretty funny" to which another ...      Nov-17-17 Giri vs Rapport, 2017    Chizoad: Neat - 55.Kb7? followed by 56.KxN?? loses! The black king sneaks in and paralyzes the white king thanks to the a pawn: 55.Kb7 Kd7 56.KxN?? Kc7 57.a3 Kc8 58.a4 Kc7 until eventually white is forced to play h4, leading to ...h1=B# (or queen but the bishop promotion is more fun).      Nov-10-17 Nakamura vs Topalov, 2017    Chizoad: Obviously a blunder in a drawn position, but Topalov was out of time from what I can tell. No increment in these games...      Jun-13-17 N Nguyen vs M Kanep, 2010    Chizoad: Disagree. The pronunciation of Nguyen essentially drops the "N" sound (although it is vaguely present). It's one syllable - not two. Thus, the "and" is necessary.      Jun-13-17 L Dominguez Perez vs A Yusupov, 2006    Chizoad: 32. Nh5! is a very nice move: 32. Nh5 gxh5 33. gxh5 Rf8 34. Rg1+ Kf7 35. Rg7+ and the black queen falls. Beautiful and smooth attack from white here.      Mar-05-17 Martyn J Corden    Chizoad: I met Martyn Corden when he was at Florida State University. I was a freshman at FSU playing in the Tallahassee Open in the unrated (U1400) section (my first tournament ever), and he was in the open section. There were several strong players in Tallahassee at that time, though I ...      Jan-25-17 A L'Ami vs A Merry, 2015    Chizoad: Looks like 32...Qxd2 33.Qxd2 Nf2+ 34.Qxf2 Rxf2 gets the job done. The black queen is immune to capture by the rook: 33.Rxd2 Rf1+ and mate to follow. But the white queen must be given up for a knight, leaving black up the exchange with a dominant position. I didn't see much for white      Dec-11-16 Keres vs A Konstantinopolsky, 1948     Dec-11-16 Pillsbury vs von Popiel, 1900     Nov-16-16 J Arnason vs Dreev, 1990     Nov-15-16 V Fedoseev vs Kryvoruchko, 2016     Nov-13-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016     Nov-01-16 I Saren vs Karpov, 1972     Oct-26-16 Chandler vs V Wolf, 1985     Sep-12-16 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2016     Aug-03-16 G Ferrantes vs A Giustolisi, 1956     Jul-11-16 Caruana vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2016     Jul-04-16 B Olcum vs T Tsereteli, 2009     Jul-09-15 Karpov - Sveshnikov Rapid (2015)     Jul-09-15 G Gross vs C Hacker, 1996     Jul-03-15 B Vujacic vs Timman, 1973    Jul-02-15 Nisipeanu vs So, 2015     Jun-25-15 Norway Chess (2015)     Jun-23-15 Nakamura vs Grischuk, 2015     Jun-21-15 Nakamura vs Anand, 2015     Jun-21-15 J L Hammer vs Topalov, 2015     Apr-12-15 J Yu vs I Krush, 2015     Apr-12-15 US Championship (2015)     Mar-21-15 K Jose Polanco vs M Namaela, 2014     Mar-21-15 Aronian vs Nakamura, 2012     Mar-20-15 L'Ami vs K Strand, 2015     Jan-18-15 Van Wely vs Carlsen, 2015     Sep-20-14 Bilbao Masters (2014)     Jul-12-14 Kramnik vs G Meier, 2014     Jun-19-14 Nakamura vs B Savchenko, 2014     Jun-17-14 Kotov vs M Yudovich Sr, 1939     Mar-11-11 Mamedyarov vs A Timofeev, 2004     Apr-15-09 Chigorin vs Schlechter, 1905     Dec-23-08 E Cekro vs L Patriarca, 2008     Nov-21-08 Sveshnikov vs A Kveinys, 1996     Oct-18-05 B Perenyi vs L Eperjesi, 1974     Dec-28-04 Joshua Waitzkin     Jul-31-04 N Starr vs J Trottier, 2001     Jul-21-04 Tim Krabbe     Jul-20-04 V F Titenko vs J Murey, 1963     Jun-28-04 Adams vs V Akopian, 2004     May-19-04 Tal vs F Olafsson, 1975     May-05-04 Andersson vs Karpov, 1995     Apr-14-04 G Benini vs A Reggio, 1911     Mar-04-04 Kasparov vs F Vallejo Pons, 2004     Dec-21-03 J Schulten vs Kieseritzky, 1850
