Jan-28-21 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2021   Isolani: Carlsen, while playing this game, made the ABC News photos (16 sec mark) as he ponders his third move. Caruana can be seen in the background as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGw...      Sep-13-20 Sicilian, Najdorf, Zagreb (Fianchetto) Variation (B91)   Isolani: Does anyone know why this variation is known as the Zagreb? I have not been able to find any information as to why it is called this.      Jun-26-20 Shirov vs Benjamin, 1994   Isolani: This game actually transposes into B85, at least as soon as move 10.      Jun-26-20 A Zude vs L Sanchez Botella, 2014   Isolani: I really do not like 13...Bd7? here. In these type of specific 6 Be2 Scheveningen-Najdorf lines black should keep the d7 flight square open for his knight after the e5 advance.      Oct-21-15 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858    Isolani: Thanks Boomie and beatgiant. How in the world did I overlook Re1? Wow.      Apr-14-13 Robert Byrne    Isolani: I am not trying to be argumentative here but Frank Marshall and Reuben Fine should be in that top five list. Were the Byrne brothers the strongest male chess siblings ever?      Mar-22-13 J Tarjan vs Hodgson, 1983    Isolani: ^Actually I forgot about the the black c4 pawn (oops), however there is 13.Qc2+...I do not know right now but there seems to be something forceful here.      Dec-25-12 Anand vs Bologan, 2003    Isolani: At first glance with the final position I was baffled that Bologan resigned this early. After closer observation however I noticed that black's pieces are discombobulated and are almost in zugzwang.      Sep-02-12 Joseph G Gallagher    Isolani: I initially did not make the connection that he wrote a fraction of the Everyman Chess "Starting Out" opening books. I actually have been collecting these books, at least those pertaining to the openings that I play. Personally, I do not think that beginners are the only ones who ...      Feb-05-12 Patrick Wolff    Isolani: << drkodos: ^ This is a ridiculously spartan database in some areas ... make generalizations at your own peril ....> And one of those areas is any player from the pre computer period that isn't at the very highest level. If I remember right Wolff used to play a lot of open ...      Jan-02-12 Judit Polgar     Dec-31-11 Jennifer Shahade     Dec-30-11 Bruno Parma     Dec-30-11 S Bouaziz vs Miles, 1979     Dec-29-11 Garry Kasparov     Dec-26-11 Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1994     Dec-14-11 Van der Wiel vs H Olafsson, 1991     Dec-05-11 Tal vs Kasparov, 1992     Dec-05-11 B Becker vs Short, 2011     Nov-24-11 D Leroy vs I Snape, 2009     Oct-20-11 T Demetriescu vs Nagy, 1936     Oct-20-11 R Nixon vs A Anselmo, 1973     Oct-19-11 G Kjartansson vs J P McKenna, 2009     Jul-18-11 Kibitzer's Café     Jun-04-11 Kevin Spraggett     Dec-02-06 WannaBe chessforum     Oct-31-06 Joshka chessforum     Oct-16-06 Chess Classics chessforum     Sep-29-06 Kramnik - Topalov World Championship Match (2006)     Sep-18-06 refutor chessforum     Jul-21-06 chessmoron chessforum     Jul-06-06 marn0 chessforum     Jun-29-06 Van Wely vs Kramnik, 1992     May-27-06 blingice chessforum     May-21-06 Chessgames Bookie chessforum     May-11-06 Isolani chessforum     May-07-06 Pedro Damiano     May-07-06 L Ravi vs Harikrishna, 2001    May-07-06 Knaak vs Van der Wiel, 1989     Apr-15-06 V Ciocaltea vs Fischer, 1962     Apr-14-06 S Conquest vs Nunn, 1993     Mar-17-06 Van der Wiel vs L Brunner, 1992    Mar-05-06 Movsesian vs Kasparov, 2000     Mar-05-06 Anand vs Gelfand, 1994    Feb-20-06 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 2000     Feb-05-06 Sicilian (B57)     Feb-04-06 P Roth vs Kasparov, 1980     Jan-29-06 Kudrin vs P Moulin, 1992    Jan-07-06 Anand vs K Georgiev, 1997     Dec-26-05 K Georgiev vs Shirov, 1992     Dec-21-05 Shirov vs J Polgar, 1996     Dec-17-05 I Rogers vs J van Mil, 1993    Dec-15-05 Schlechter vs Lasker, 1910     Dec-11-05 Cecil Purdy     Dec-08-05 A Sokolov vs Salov, 1983     Dec-02-05 A Zukerfeld vs C Garcia Palermo, 1978    Nov-20-05 Paul Morphy     Nov-12-05 Sicilian, Najdorf (B90)     Oct-30-05 Kasparov vs The World, 1999     Oct-28-05 Mikhail Shereshevsky     Oct-28-05 M Wahls vs D Rajkovic, 1991    Sep-07-05 Pilnik vs Kashdan, 1948     Aug-03-05 Susan Polgar     Jul-10-05 Queen's Gambit Declined, Tartakower (Makagonov-Bondarevsky) Syst (D58)     May-18-05 Rustam Kasimdzhanov     Sep-27-04 Ivan Ivanisevic     Sep-04-04 Bobby Fischer     Aug-07-04 Mikhail Botvinnik     Aug-07-04 Glenn Flear     Jul-04-04 Ivanchuk vs K Angelov, 1987     Jun-21-04 Viktor Korchnoi     Sep-25-03 Alexander Kotov     Sep-25-03 David Bronstein     Sep-25-03 Leonid Shamkovich     Sep-25-03 Andrei Sokolov     Jun-05-03 Reuben Fine
