Aug-11-25 Gheorghiu vs Portisch, 1963 
| |
| Retired Patzer: Interesting that Gheorghiu went 2-0 vs Portisch in that event. Would have viewed him as the home dog. |

| Retired Patzer: In Banzea-"Nilton 16" doesn't White have 34.Rg8+? |

Apr-26-25 Boris Savchenko
| |
| Retired Patzer: Notice that he hit his peak rating before he was 23, but is down about 200 points since then. Isn't he young enough to still be rising? |

Aug-17-24 M Mukhin vs M Podgaets, 1972
| |
| Retired Patzer: I didn't follow the idea of Black's 29th either. Doesn't 29...Nf4 preserve both knights long enough to maybe get the queen onto the long diagonal? Although I suppose 30.Bxe5 wrecks that idea. |

| |
| Retired Patzer: Thanks for finding this game. I inquired about it a couple years ago on the Allan Savage page, and am glad to see it added to the database. |

Jun-11-24 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972
| |
| Retired Patzer: After 69.Rc3+ Kd4 it almost looks like White has winning chances with 70.Be7, aiming for f6 to help blockade the Black queenside pawns while retaining protection of his own g-pawn.
But 70....Ke5 pretty much forces the bishop back to f8. |

| Retired Patzer: That looks like a great article. Any way to get an English translation of it? |

Jun-23-23 Kotov vs Najdorf, 1953
| |
| Retired Patzer: Thanks for the illustrations. Seems like 50 extra moves would be anticlimactic after Najdorf's clever combination should have ended it. But if Najdorf were unsettled enough to make a blunder, maybe it would be worth a try. |

Apr-27-23 Euwe vs Najdorf, 1953
| |
| Retired Patzer: Despite a low finish in this tournament, Dr. Euwe had two really great wins. See also Geller-Euwe. |
