May-05-23 Anand vs Svidler, 1999   okiesooner: Here are some notes on this game, from chessbase.com https://de.chessbase.com/portals/3/...      Jan-08-23 Tal vs Spassky, 1965    okiesooner: Writing in Chess Life (February 1966, page 47), commentator Bernard Zuckerman wrote “After the game Spassky said that he had seen the quickest way to draw [after 23. Bd1] : 23…Bxd3 24. Bxh5 Bxc4 25. Rxc4 Nxe3 26. fxe3 Bd2.” If this sequence draws, why would Black resign ...      Jul-30-22 J Pinter vs Karpov, 1993    okiesooner: 74...Nxd3+ 75. Kxd3 Kd5 should win for Black.      Feb-20-22 Bacrot vs Smyslov, 1996   okiesooner: If 26...Nc5 27. Bc4 Rxb2 28. Bc3 wins the Exchange.      Nov-17-21 Bareev vs Topalov, 2002   okiesooner: <There seems to be some interesting possibilities after 23.g6> How does White hold on after 23...Qh4?      Sep-03-21 Richard Taylor    okiesooner: We in the U.S. are doing a miserable job dealing with the pandemic. People here are incredibly selfish. We Americans could learn much from New Zealand's experience.      Aug-22-21 Keres vs Kholmov, 1948   okiesooner: Why would White play 14. Be3 after having played 13. Bd2 on the previous move?      May-11-21 Onischuk vs Radjabov, 2007   okiesooner: After 46. c8=N+ Rxc8 47. Bd4+ Qxd4 48. Qxc8, Black can force a draw with 48...Qd2+ (rather than 48...Qe4+) 49. Kg3 Qc3+ 50. Kxg4 Qg7+.      Apr-21-21 Steinitz vs Lasker, 1896   okiesooner: If 23. Be7 Qa6 24. Bxh4 Rxh4 25. Qg3+, White should gain a draw by repetition after 25...Kh5 26. Qf3+ Kg6 (or 26...Kg5) 27 Qg3+. Does White have anything better?      Dec-18-20 Hort vs Portisch, 1968    okiesooner: If 25...Rxb3 White cannot play 26. Rxd5?? because of the bank-rank mate. And after 25...Rb4 as in the game, if 26. f4 26...Bd4+ blunders away the Bishop. Here if 26...Bb2 27 Rfxd5. The other White Rook can stay on the first rank to forestall a possible back-rank mate.      Dec-12-20 Kibitzer's Café     Nov-20-20 Keres vs Korchnoi, 1962     Oct-06-20 Jonathan Penrose     Aug-12-20 Gligoric vs C H Maderna, 1950    Jul-14-20 Korchnoi vs A Matanovic, 1956     Jun-23-20 Gheorghiu vs Matulovic, 1970     Jun-16-20 Gligoric vs R Hartoch, 1971     Jun-04-20 Morozevich vs H Hamdouchi, 2001     Apr-27-20 Kholmov vs V Doroshkievich, 1967    Apr-10-20 Averbakh vs A Matanovic, 1952     Mar-20-20 G Kuzmin vs Spassky, 1973    Mar-15-20 Arianne Caoili     Dec-15-19 Petrosian vs Gligoric, 1953     Sep-04-19 Saemisch vs G Thomas, 1929    Oct-04-17 Kashdan vs I A Horowitz, 1946     Jul-28-17 Gligoric vs Pachman, 1958     Jul-27-17 Gligoric vs A Matanovic, 1961    Feb-27-17 Emilia Horn     Sep-03-16 Benjamin vs G Lorscheid, 1984    Jun-09-16 So vs Romanishin, 2009    Dec-15-15 A Beliavsky vs Karpov, 1973     Nov-24-15 Y Sakharov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1957     Jul-24-15 Kasparov vs Van der Wiel, 1988     Aug-21-14 Anderssen vs Zukertort, 1865    Feb-26-14 Unzicker vs Nunn, 1991    Feb-07-14 Nisipeanu vs S D Swapnil, 2012    Jan-07-14 A David vs E Senador, 2012    Sep-01-13 Maroczy vs Charousek, 1895     Aug-04-13 Pillsbury vs Schlechter, 1899     Jul-08-13 P Haba vs J Kopal, 2003    May-31-13 Jobava vs V Grokhotov, 1999    May-30-13 Tarrasch vs D Przepiorka, 1924    May-02-13 Pospisil vs Keller, 1984     Mar-26-13 Geller vs Szabo, 1973    Mar-12-13 A Baryshpolets vs M Lewicki, 2010    Feb-17-13 E Alekseev vs G Guseinov, 2007    Nov-29-12 Ljubojevic vs M Gurevich, 1991    Jan-02-12 I Abraham vs G Janny, 1923     Dec-03-11 J Aagaard vs P A Rasmussen, 1996     Sep-13-11 Balashov vs Ivkov, 1980    Aug-03-11 Rubinstein vs Marshall, 1908     Aug-02-11 M Hebden vs A Summerscale, 2011    Jun-27-11 Shirov vs Gelfand, 2000    Mar-07-11 Hort vs R Belkadi, 1968    Feb-01-11 Dreev vs Bareev, 1986     Jan-10-11 Shirov vs J Polgar, 1999     Oct-11-10 E Najer vs V Malakhov, 2007    Jul-02-10 Ivanchuk vs Adams, 1999     Jun-28-10 R Vera vs A Lesiege, 2003     Apr-27-10 Dautov vs Dreev, 1989    Apr-20-10 Bareev vs E Romanov, 2010    Apr-09-10 Tarrasch vs Schlechter, 1897     Apr-03-10 Filip vs Geller, 1962     Mar-02-10 K Georgiev vs Ponomariov, 2001     Feb-21-10 M Gurevich vs Kasparov, 1988     Dec-02-09 D Howell vs C Zhu, 2007
