Nov-29-19 Harry Bogdanor vs B Goulding Brown, 1914 
| |
| 7he5haman: If instead of 31.c3 - where White's King is permanently cut off after 31...Rxg2 - White had tried: 31.g4 Rxb4 32.h4, trying to create a fast Kingside pawn, Black can respond with: 32...Kb6! 33.Rc3 Rf4!
Which looks winning for Black. |

Nov-23-19 Szabo vs V Tukmakov, 1970
| |
| 7he5haman: <kreugerl: If 7he5haman Is correct, and white tries 50 Q x H2, doesn’t simply R x B7ch, king any, R-E8, mate?> Good point!
I thought 49.Qxc3 was a certain draw, but then I saw: 49.Qxc3 Qxh2+ 50.Kd3 Qxg3+ 51.Re3 Qd6+ 52.Kc2 Bxc3 53.Rxc3 and
49.Qxc3 Qxh2+ 50.Kd3 Bxc3 51.Kxc3 |

Nov-21-19 Carlsen vs D Madsen, 2004
| |
| 7he5haman: To follow up on my previous comment, if 19...0-0-0, one idea from White is: 20.Rd6, threatening bxc5 & c6, opening lots of lines to Black's King. But then 20...Rhe8 21.bxc5 Nb8 and Black can struggle on. This looks much more playable for Black than the game. |

| |
| 7he5haman: Feels like 66.Kg5 should draw, intending Kf6 and e6 |

| |
| 7he5haman: 29...Nc4 looked like a better try to me. |

| 7he5haman: I don't understand why f3 wasn't played on move 25 or 26 |

Aug-10-19 Harald Schmidt vs Jobava, 2001
| |
| 7he5haman: Does 35.gxf5 fare any better?
I cringed at 35.Bxd5. |

Jul-15-19 L Tristan vs E Moradiabadi, 2018
| |
| 7he5haman: E.g. 30...Ree2:
1) 31.Rxc8 Rxf2 32.Re8+ Ke6 (this move might be bad for Black - I can't calculate it right now - but Kg6 looks even worse after Ne7+) 2) 31.Rf1 Bb7 32.Re8+ Kg6 and Black has activity |
