Jan-26-15 Matulovic vs Fischer, 1968 
| |
| 515: One of my favorite Fischer games. So seemingly effortless. Karpov's 11...Ke7 against Kamsky, Dortmund, 1993 has the same feel as Fischer's 13...Ke7 in this game. In both cases the move is counterintuitive and in both cases Black threatens to win on the spot. |

Aug-30-14 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2014
| |
| 515: Great game by Caruana. No fear.
And you've got to hand it to Carlsen, with respect to his honesty. 20...Nd3!! is fantastic. How many guys would say, "Oh I saw it but underestimated yadda, yadda, yadda." Carlsen admitted he never saw it coming. Cool. |

| |
| 515: < Conrad93: Not bad for an amateur... > !
< Richard Taylor: I think the great contribution of Morphy was away from the "Romantic" chess towards development, centralisation etc and even some good endings as well as his famous combinations but some of his opponents played great ... |
