May-24-22 Jan-Krzysztof Duda    Joseph Blackcape: Congrats to Jan-Krzysztof Duda for winning the 2022 Superbet Rapid & Blitz Poland half a point ahead of Aronian and Anand and a full point ahead of Caruana!      May-24-22 Superbet Chess Rapid & Blitz Poland (2022)    Joseph Blackcape: Those standings are incorrect. Duda won with 24 points clear ahead of Aronian and Anand who shared 2-3 with 23.5. Caruana was 4th with 23 points. Check the official page for reference: https://grandchesstour.org/2022-gra...      Apr-03-19 Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907    Joseph Blackcape: Always an incredible game and one of my all time favourites. Long, long before there was the Internet, YouTube and videos like "Kasparov Sacrifices Everything!", a withdrawn Polish Jewish grandmaster has played THIS. When I was a little kid and just discovered chess I have ...      Jan-27-19 Giri vs Carlsen, 2019    Joseph Blackcape: Magnus becomes the third person to give Giri yet another gift of a 0.5 point. It's a draw.      Jan-25-19 Giri vs Shankland, 2019    Joseph Blackcape: Giri: "He had a hallucination of some sorts. It happens."      Jan-15-19 H Wang vs M Kravtsiv, 2008    Joseph Blackcape: This should be "super easy". The first move you think of looking at the position wins the fastest. Just 38. e7 (for example 38... Re8 39. Re6).      Oct-12-18 Linares (2001)    Joseph Blackcape: Kasparov dominated, but it was still a respectable showing for a 50 years old Karpov, who was already semi-retired, had his prime far behind him (his swan song, as mentioned, was in Linares 7 years earlier) and was playing against GMs, who were all, except for Kasparov, ...      Oct-03-18 Batumi Olympiad (2018)    Joseph Blackcape: The "forced mate" that Fabiano supposedly missed was in over 30 moves, according to a computer and on <his> move, ie. he chose the correct move, but after Duda's supposedly forced reply the mate changed to -30-something eval and even in it, the computer just suggests ...      Sep-13-18 AVRO (1938)    Joseph Blackcape: According to Chessmetrics the 8 players at AVRO were rated the top 8 players in the world with Botvinnik being #1 (2763) and Euwe #8 (2716). So if you go by estimated rating no possibility for it being any stronger. Link for reference: http://www.chessmetrics.com/cm/CM2/...      Aug-29-18 USSR Championship (1976)    Joseph Blackcape: Karpov was really determined to win this one. A Soviet World Champion would not be taken seriously in Soviet Russia unless he would also win the Soviet Championship (which Karpov has never managed before), much less a WC that has not won the title in a match.      Jul-07-18 Anatoly Karpov     Feb-14-18 Larsen vs Benjamin, 1988     Jan-27-18 Carlsen vs M Matlakov, 2018     Nov-06-17 E Sosnowska vs A Brustman, 1987     Oct-06-17 Carlsen vs Granda Zuniga, 2017    Oct-01-17 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2017     Sep-28-17 Magnus Carlsen     Sep-27-17 World Cup (2017)     Sep-07-17 USSR Championship (1988)     Dec-15-16 London Chess Classic (2016)     Nov-24-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016     Nov-23-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016     Nov-21-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016     Nov-18-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016     Nov-15-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016     Sep-26-16 M Pitz vs S Stark, 2009     Sep-09-16 J Zawadzka vs V Gunina, 2016    Aug-14-16 Sinquefield Cup (2016)     Aug-10-16 H Seifert vs M Szmyd, 2009     Jul-05-16 R Mamedov vs N Dzagnidze, 2006     Jul-02-16 Petrosian vs Pachman, 1961     Jun-23-16 K Ulanowski vs E Kustal, 2009     Jun-07-16 Korchnoi vs Carlsen, 2004     May-23-16 M Golubev vs G Sagalchik, 1983     May-21-16 Movsesian vs A Adly, 2015     Apr-13-16 Garry Kasparov     Apr-12-16 Stockfish vs Komodo, 2014     Apr-11-16 Buenos Aires (Clarin) (1979)     Apr-03-16 Nottingham (1936)     Dec-23-15 Blackburne - Lee (1890)
