Mar-19-25 P Shuvalova vs P Korobkov, 2025   Captain Hindsight: Much better would have been < 31. Rce6 !! >, [DIAGRAM] e.g. < 31. .. Ree8 32. Rxe8 Rxe8 33. Rxe8+ Nxe8 34. Qxd5 > [DIAGRAM] < 34. .. Nc7 35. Qxa5 Qxd4 36. Bg3 Qd5+ 37. Qxd5 Nxd5 38. a5 > [DIAGRAM] +-      Mar-19-25 D Yuffa vs G Flom, 2019   Captain Hindsight: Better would have been < 33. Nf5!! > [DIAGRAM] and the d-pawn is running. In case of < 33 ... Nxd3 34. Qxd3 Rxc4 35. Qxb3 Qxb3 36. Rxb3 > Black is gonna lose a 2nd pawn on h6.      Mar-08-25 Shirov vs Bareev, 1994   Captain Hindsight: < 14.... Nd4 > would have kept the balance, [DIAGRAM] e.g. < 15. Qd1 Bxe4 16. Nxd4 Bxg2 17. Kxg2 Nxe5 18. Bxd8 cxd4 19. Bg5 cxd4 > [DIAGRAM]      Mar-02-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs C Aravindh, 2025    Captain Hindsight: Hooray, let's run into the Berlin Wall again.      Mar-02-25 Saemisch vs O Menzinger, 1953    Captain Hindsight: Both moves (exf6/gxh5) are just move-switching and both win. I like the quiet move < 23. Re4 > best, however. It preserves both directions of capture and thus the tension on the board. [DIAGRAM]      Mar-02-25 Prague Masters (2025)    Captain Hindsight: Hindsight is always 20/20.      Jan-27-25 A Muzychuk vs N Salimova, 2022   Captain Hindsight: Better would have been < 37. Bb6 b4 38. Be2 Rd7 39. Bc4 bxc3 40.Rc1 > when the a-pawns together with the bishop pair offer a promising starting position. [DIAGRAM] The rooks are simply poor defenders, especially when the opponent's minor pieces swarm in their camp.      Jan-13-25 Chessgames - Odd Lie    Captain Hindsight: Clearly California just needs more diversity. That's the cause of the problem... the necessary fixes have just not yet done enough to address the rebalance the systemic failings. More angry women are required.      Jan-06-25 A Prameshuber vs Huebner, 1970    Captain Hindsight: [DIAGRAM] Better would have been now < 28. Qxe4 Qxe4 29. fxe4 Rxf1+ 30. Kxf1 > [DIAGRAM] about =      Dec-21-24 Lobron vs J Polgar, 1996   Captain Hindsight: < 17.g4! > would have been the critical move here. [DIAGRAM] It's unclear how Black can justify the piece sacrifice here, although it looks very dangerous. See < 17... Qh4 18. gxh5 Nd4 19. Re4 Qxf2+ 20. Kh1 >. [DIAGRAM] What should happen next?
