Oct-21-24 Nakamura vs Onischuk, 2017   paulthebox: Onichuk surely won the opening but 27… Qf4 allowed Naka some nasty tactics. Instead 27… gxf5 28. Nf3 Qg6 29. Nxh2 fxg4+ 30. Ka1 Rxh2 would have been a strong exchange sac. White could have played 31. d5! as after 31… cxd5? 32. Qe5 the double threat 33. Qxh2 and 33. Nb5 Rc8 ...      Sep-10-24 Gulko vs Short, 1995   paulthebox: Instructive pawn ending. 53. Kg2 is the only move that draws. After 53. Kf4? there woukd have been only one winning move, 53… Ke7.      Aug-20-23 N Abasov vs Carlsen, 2023    paulthebox: 57. Bg4! don’t think I’ve ever seen this motive!      Apr-25-22 A Yusupov vs Short, 1995   paulthebox: Interesting was 18. Nxf7 Bb7 (now the knight is cut off from its base, however ...) 19. Nd8! Rxd8 20. Rc7 but according to engine this will end in draw by perpetual      Apr-05-21 Sveshnikov vs Tukmakov, 1984   paulthebox: It seems 52... Be7, leaving the knight stranded, would have won: 53. Ke5 Kf7 and now a) 54. Kf4 Kf6 b) 54. Na5 Bd8! 55. Nc4 Bc7+ 56. Kd4 Kf6 -+ c) 54. h6 Kg6 55. Kxe6 f4 -+. With the BK on h6 (as in 53... Kh6 54. Kxe6 f4) white would draw with Kxe7 f3; Nd6! f3; Nf5+ and Ne3 thus ...      Mar-14-21 Timman vs Miles, 1984   paulthebox: Fascinating double rook endgame. Black looks to be winning easily after 1st time control with an extra pawn, rooks doubled on 7th row and connected passed pawns yet Timman manages to draw. Miles must have regretted not eliminating white’s a-pawn on move 49; after that it ...      Mar-03-21 Andersson vs Polugaevsky, 1984    paulthebox: The rook manoeuvre Rf1-e1-e2xb2-b1-a1 (behind pawn a2) does not impress, no wonder Andersson soon found himself in a bad position.      Mar-03-21 Andersson vs Chandler, 1984   paulthebox: Anderssons delay in capturing b7 cost him dearly. After 32. Rxb7 the line given by Chandler Rxb7 33. Rxb7 Bc5 “with counterplay” is not convincing due to 34. Bd5.      Dec-22-20 L Vogt vs Gheorghiu, 1984    paulthebox: The immediate 25. Bh8 Bf8 26. Rg7+ Kxh8 28. Rxg6+ fails to e5!; the meaning of 25. f5 is thus to eliminate that resource (gxf5 26. Bh8 Bf8 27. Rxf5!).      Dec-12-20 Chandler vs Timman, 1984   paulthebox: Wild game, 31, Ne4 is a shocker (31... dxe4 32. Qf6+ Ke8 33. Qd8+!! with unexpected mate) but Timman finds a worthy reply 31... Rh7!      Dec-08-20 Timman vs Andersson, 1984     Sep-15-20 Nunn vs K Mokry, 1983    Apr-26-20 Spassky vs Taimanov, 1955     Apr-11-20 W J Muhring vs G Thomas, 1946     Apr-03-20 P Nikolic vs Andersson, 1984    Mar-25-20 McShane vs Radjabov, 2012     Feb-23-20 C Kottnauer vs Kotov, 1946    Feb-22-20 H Steiner vs Botvinnik, 1946    Feb-15-20 Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1984     Feb-15-20 Timman vs Spassky, 1981     Feb-08-20 Polugaevsky vs Quinteros, 1985     Feb-08-20 J H Donner vs Najdorf, 1961    Feb-04-20 Browne vs D Gurevich, 1984    Jan-29-20 Botvinnik vs Flohr, 1946     Dec-10-19 I Novikov vs Tukmakov, 1984     Nov-29-19 H Bogdanor vs B Goulding Brown, 1914     Nov-26-19 Kotov vs Gligoric, 1952     Nov-10-19 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937    Nov-02-19 Smyslov vs C Zhu, 2001     Oct-12-19 M Yilmazyerli vs B Sadiku, 2017     Sep-22-19 W Ju vs Goryachkina, 2019     Jul-28-19 Timman vs B Ivanovic, 1984     Jul-13-19 Ljubojevic vs Karpov, 1986    Jul-13-19 Ljubojevic vs Karpov, 1980    Jan-28-19 Ding Liren vs Anand, 2019    Jan-28-19 Seirawan vs Lobron, 1983     Jan-22-19 J Saksis vs Shirov, 1985     Jun-17-18 Hitech vs REBEL, 1986     Jun-17-18 Tal vs Gligoric, 1984    Jun-11-18 Smyslov vs Kasparov, 1984     Oct-08-17 Korchnoi vs Timman, 1982     Sep-23-17 Kupchik vs Capablanca, 1926
