Mar-23-11 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2011 
|
Bertorelli: Hmmm... This is pretty interesting. My engine says that this early Qg4 with 7. Qxh7 is bad for white due to 7. ... cxd4. And after it 8.a3 Qa5 9.axb4 Qxa1 10.Nce2 is practically forced and black is better. However here comes 10.... Nbc6 11.Nf3 and each of the five games I found ... |

Dec-16-09 G Neumann vs Blackburne, 1867 
|
Bertorelli: Ne6+ would have been winning one move earlier... the knight on e4 falls and black's attack is over, white is basically a rook up |

Oct-31-09 F Vallejo Pons vs Morozevich, 2009 
|
Bertorelli: luzhin: <If it goes to either g4 or h3, 29...Bf5 follows.> but that would just be repeating the position. |

Apr-06-09 Shirov vs H Wang, 2009 
|
Bertorelli: <+1.86 should be good enough to win, but it's not over the top dominating.> but after this there is nothing better than
26 ... Kxh7
27 Qh4 Kg8
28 Bf6 gxf6
29 Qxf6 Be6
30 Qg5
and the bishop drops and it is really over |

|
Bertorelli: "I cannot recall the last game I saw where a king ventured into the middle of the board like Carlsen's - and did not get mated!" Well, it looks that after 33....Bd8+ white would have dropped all the pieces and got mated in a couple of moves. |
