shatranj7: If 40...Kc8, it seems that 41. Rxa5 would be a good follow up. |

Feb-17-13 Taimanov vs Petrosian, 1953 
|
shatranj7: 26. BxR deserves three exclams, considering that if 26...QxQ, then 27.BxB ch. K-R1. 28. BxQP, and now white has deadly passers, and will soon win the exchange of black's rook for bishop. Excuse the descriptive notation, but I'm trying to learn it, so I've been using it lately. ... |

Jan-25-13 I Ivanov vs J Bonin, 1983 
|
shatranj7: I saw 22.Rxd7 immediately. I thought that 22...Rxe3 would have been a better continuation for black however, though I did see the continuation black used in the game. I think that this was more of a Tuesday puzzle. |

shatranj7: Arrogance and pompousness is written all over this game. Karjakin got the surprise of his life!!!! |

Dec-10-12 The World vs V Akobian, 2012 
|
shatranj7: I like Ng3, because it improves the position of the knight, brings another piece into the attack, and minimizes black's counterplay chances. I think that f6 unnecessarily gives black the opportunity to utilize his rooks in the defense of the h-file. Failure to think in ... |

shatranj7: Also, threatening 29 Qd2 Rxc3. 30 Qxc3 Ne2+ |

Jun-22-12 T Moriuchi vs S Muhammad, 2006 
|
shatranj7: After 32.Qd5, black has other options. For instance, 32...g4 is a a possibility, because after 33. Qg5+, Rg7 and Kh7 are both playable. So Qd5 does save the position, but it is not worthy of an exclam. White just blundered with his rook move. |
