Dec-03-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021
| |
| 7he5haman: A shame Nepo missed Bxb4 some moves ago - the comp really liked it, and it’s the “obvious” move that much weaker players than him would play But players at his level see so much more than weaker players - must have seen something he didn’t like, even though the danger was, |

Dec-27-20 G Kochetkov vs Landa, 1995
| |
| 7he5haman: <JustStarting: Is it hopeless after 29.g3> Yes, the finish would be 29. g3 Nf3+ 30. Kg2 Nd2 and White will be a piece down, e.g. 31. Rfe1 Nxe4 32. Rxe4 Bc6 |

Oct-18-20 Dolmatov vs Polugaevsky, 1988
| |
| 7he5haman: Saw everything except for the final move.
I did wonder whether 30...Nh8 was a tougher defence, allowing the Bishop to defend h6 from f8. Example line: 31. f6 Bf8 32. f5 Qf7 33. Rf4 Qxf6 34. fxe6 Qxe6 and Black is still holding on as far as I can tell. |

| 7he5haman: Nice game!
A neat feature is that Black's Queen never once moved diagonally! |

Aug-11-20 J Herbin vs B Petri, 1953
| |
| 7he5haman: 4.Nc3 is a favourite of mine in Blitz
Play often continues 4...exd5 5.Nxd5 d6 6.e4 Nxe4?! 7.Qe2 f5 and Black will have problems completing his development, e.g. 8. Ng5 Be7 9. Nxe4 fxe4 10. Qxe4 Nc6 11. Bg5 and then e.g. 11...a6 12.0-0-0 or 11...Kf7 12. Nxe7 Nxe7 13. Bc4+ |
