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.      Sep-17-20 Rapport vs Duda, 2019   7he5haman: I thought 36.g5 was the right idea      Sep-09-20 A Smith vs N Grandelius, 2014    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+      Aug-09-20 V Trickov vs A Pachmann, 1994    7he5haman: After 18...Bg7 I quite like Black personally      Jul-31-20 M Karttunen vs Stellwagen, 2011   7he5haman: <V Geriakov> Cheers, although I have just realised that <17.Rfd1> is suboptimal. Instead, White should play: 11...Bg7 12. Bxa6 bxa6 13. Nxc7 Qc6 14. Nxa8 dxc5 15. Qc2 Rd8 16. Rac1 Bf8 <17. b4!> Which casts serious doubt over 16...Bf8. So Black should play ...      Jul-27-20 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2020    7he5haman: To those who are saying Magnus blew it: He only had the chance to blow it because Chuky blew it first :-) (64...Rxg3! for example.)      Jul-27-20 A Zapolskis vs S Maze, 2016    7he5haman: Edit: 31.a6 doesn't work because of 31...Ng4+ 32. Kd4 Rd8+ and White is either getting mated or losing a piece.
