Mar-13-18 V Fedoseev vs Nakamura, 2018   Aspirador: I am a bit puzzled by this game because both 21.Nxf6+ and 22.Nxf6 are so straightforward and very easily winning. Instead 22.Qd2?? is only a slightly better ending with much less time on the clock (1:15 min vs Nakamura's 3 min). For those interested, the video is on YouTube and ...      May-31-12 Gelfand vs Anand, 2012    Aspirador: Hi Eyal, yes I just submitted a correction ticket. Thanks!      Feb-10-12 Tal vs Kasparov, 1992    Aspirador: Of course, the game continued from here, but it seems the score is lost since it was just a blitz game and Kasparov only gave those moves.      Nov-16-11 Anand vs Short, 1994   Aspirador: This game was played in the Munich Intel blitz tournament, see http://www.365chess.com/tournaments... This means that white probably flagged around move 47.      Oct-06-11 Ivanchuk vs Nakamura, 2011    Aspirador: <Willem Wallekers: 37 ... Be8??? Blind panic.> Black is lost one way or the other. I actually think that 37...Be8 was quite a good trick. Ivanchuk was down to his last seconds here and one more surprising move could make him lose on time or make the mistake 38.Rexe8??      Oct-02-11 Ivanchuk vs Carlsen, 2011    Aspirador: Well, Crowther certainly means the move 22.b3? which is clearly playing for a loss. I think 22.bxc3 would have been a pretty quick draw on such a high level. After 22.b3? Re8! the black rook invades and white has to work hard to hold. Maybe Chucky saw a rook trade somewhere on the      Sep-21-11 Vachier-Lagrave vs Kasparov, 2011    Aspirador: <: How about ..49 Kh7 ? Isn't white running ouf of checks? Shouldn't Black win here?> Yes, I noticed that as well and was very surprised that none of the commentators mentioned it. I think Kasparov wanted to give his opponent this half a point because the match was decided. ...      Dec-13-10 Hikaru Nakamura    Aspirador: <aspirador, hey - link please!> http://wikileaks.ch/      Nov-26-10 Kasparov vs Y Anikaev, 1979    Aspirador: <Garry's queen> Qb6-g1+ only possible after d4-d3. :)      Sep-03-10 Shirov vs Kasparov, 1992    Aspirador: <As who said is it not just winning for white ? after 35 Rxd2 ?> Yes, it is. Btw, After 35.Qe3??, even stronger is 35...Bd4! winning immediately. Maybe both players were in time trouble.
