Jan-03-24 Smirin vs V Burmakin, 2016    EphemeralAdvantage: <It turned out to be mistake. Black got into a line of the KID a tempo down. On move 9 the rook should be on e8. 9...d5 is premature.> Black is not a tempo down. The typical move order is 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 O-O 6. Be3 e5 7. Nge2 c6 8. Qd2 ...      Nov-17-23 V Akopian vs Khalifman, 2012   EphemeralAdvantage: It is interesting to note that up to move 13 this is all discussed in Khalifman's "Opening for White according to Anand 1. e4, Book 13" which came out in 2010. At that point 13. ... Qa5 was the mainline but 13. ... e5 overtook its throne in the years after the publication      Nov-15-23 Capablanca vs L Labatt, 1909    EphemeralAdvantage: Capa played 5. exd5 in most of his McCutcheon games. It is certainly theoretically inferior to 5. e5 but a practical choice to avoid the d4-e5 vs d5-e6 pawn chain positions, if you don't enjoy them that is. Reminds me a bit of Fischer's obsession with, the also ...      Nov-07-23 T Markowski vs Navara, 2011   EphemeralAdvantage: 3. ... g5 keeps getting traction, particularly by the young Erigaisi. Fully sound and certainly the sharpest option on move 3. The 3. b4 line in general might have some issues      Oct-26-23 Duda vs Giri, 2023   EphemeralAdvantage: This is an extremely important theoretical game if you are a Slav player. If you generally play 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 then 3. Nc3 used to be a headache: if you now continue 3. ... Nf6 White has 4. e3 and you have to play a Meran Semi-Slav, not bad by ...      Sep-21-23 Gligoric vs E Bakonyi, 1948   EphemeralAdvantage: <5.Bd2! Boris Avrukh> Or 5. Bg3 Bg7 6. h4! and white is close to winning      Sep-13-23 Jeroen Piket   EphemeralAdvantage: Piket's games against the King's Indian are always very nice. Probably his most famous KID game is sadly his loss against Kasparov in 1989 ( Piket vs Kasparov, 1989 ) but few remember that Piket played a crucial role in Kasparov not playing the King's Indian in the 2000s.      Sep-01-23 Geller vs Karpov, 1976    EphemeralAdvantage: Now, that's a nice title for a game! Geller's choice of 3. Nc3 worked nicely. Karpov played the french very rarely and would have doubtless prepared for 3. Nd2 since this was Efim's main weapon. His versatility as a player always astonished me. On another note, Geller ...      Jul-22-23 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2014   EphemeralAdvantage: It is very interesting to see that Carlsen was a Dragon aficionado in his earlier years. It is not an opening one associates with his style. The magic of youth!      Feb-12-23 P L Flynn vs C Barnett, 2003    EphemeralAdvantage: <Or maybe playing a large number of correspondence games at the same time, the player accidently sent a move intended for one of his other games.> That seems to me to be the most plausible theory.      Feb-03-23 Nepomniachtchi vs Svidler, 2014    Feb-03-23 H Van de Wynkele vs S Semina, 1997    Jan-31-23 Karpov vs Taimanov, 1972     Jan-22-23 Giri vs Carlsen, 2023     Jan-21-23 S From vs Madsen, 1981     Dec-31-22 Botvinnik vs Geller, 1969     Dec-29-22 Morozevich vs Timman, 1996    Dec-29-22 F Olafsson vs Larsen, 2003    Dec-29-22 G M Norman vs Capablanca, 1935    Dec-29-22 Reti vs F Fischer, 1923     Dec-29-22 J Bellon Lopez vs V Kovacevic, 1979    Dec-29-22 S Sulskis vs T Michalczak, 2005    Dec-29-22 Dreev vs Bareev, 1986    Dec-29-22 Carlsen vs Abdusattorov, 2022     Dec-29-22 Fischer vs Andersson, 1970     Dec-29-22 Flohr vs Lasker, 1936    Dec-29-22 Schlechter vs F Koehnlein, 1910    Dec-29-22 Duda vs V Laznicka, 2019
