Apr-15-25 Navara vs D Rozmbersky, 2001   kbob: and yet stronger still might be 9.Qc2! avoiding the pin. If 9. ...Bf5 10. Bd3 Bxd3 11. Qxd3 the weakness of the e6 square is monstrous.      Mar-25-25 Karpov vs Kasparov, 2002   kbob: This is the only game in the database with 6. Rc1 and the computer trades question marks, preferring for Black 6. ..c6, a head fake at least toward grubbing the pawn. Perhaps Karpov doubted that Garry would stoop so low.      Jan-04-25 Mamedyarov vs Caruana, 2015   kbob: ? What about challenging Fabi's prep with 7. cxd5. Grabbing the exchange is very dangerous for Black.      Dec-03-24 A Greenfeld vs N Coenen, 1998   kbob: There is a humorous situation at move 17. Black's d7 bishop is protected tactically due to the possibility of 18. ..Rd8. So White plays 17. 0-0 (!), seeming to abandon his d2 Knight but it is protected in exactly the same way. Stockfish claims a better game for White with 20. c6 !, ...      Nov-20-24 Caruana vs Grischuk, 2019   kbob: Since entering the tablebase domain at move 66, Giri gave Grishuk no opportunities. The only moves for white to relinquish the theoretical win, barring obvious blunders, were as follows: 72. Ke7,Qh1; 74. Qg2,Qb3; 75.Qc1; 76. Qb8; 77. Qb8; 78. Qb2,Qc3,Qf4,Qd5; 79. Qb8; and 80. Qb3 (all ...      Nov-10-24 Euwe vs S Landau, 1939   kbob: According to Taimanov in his 1974 book on the Slav, 10..f6 was a recommendation of Alekhine. This is the seminal game in which Landau failed to test Euwe’s proposed refutation. Correct is 11. ..g6 12. Nxh7 fxe5 when White may choose between 13. Qg4, which is a forced draw, and 13. ...      Jul-23-24 Najdorf vs Gligoric, 1962   kbob: <beatgiant> Ah yes, Thank you.      Jun-27-24 Van Wely vs M Steinert, 1994   kbob: What is going on? Two games in the data base and no one sees the obvious 13. Nxf7! game over.      May-23-24 Onischuk vs Gelfand, 2002   kbob: I don't know the time control, but the obvious piece blunder Qd6 ??? came on move 42. I wonder if possibly Onischuk was unaware that the time scramble was over.      Mar-29-24 Vachier-Lagrave vs Fridman, 2024    kbob: According to baby Stockfish, best for White is the pawn grubbing 44. Nxh6 (+1.64). White blunders to a draw with 45. Nc2? and blunders to a loss with Na3?.      Feb-06-24 Geller vs Fischer, 1970    Dec-26-23 Dubov vs S Ernst, 2013    Dec-17-23 Karpov vs Hort, 1978     Nov-19-23 J Friedman vs Gulko, 1993
