Jun-25-16 Anand vs Giri, 2016 
| |
| Chicago Chess Man: Nice tactic by Anand. After 26...Rxe6 27. Rxe6 Qxe6 28. Re1 wins material on account of the back rank checkmate threat. |

| Chicago Chess Man: I think a better pun would have been "You's a very bad Anand! Very bad!" (Babu Bhatt from Seinfeld) |

Jul-26-11 M Mulyar vs Van Wely, 2011
| |
| Chicago Chess Man: After 17.Qxd2 Nf3+ 18. Kf2 Nxd2 19.Bd3 doesn't white at least get the piece back? I suppose he's still a pawn down with a wrecked pawn structure and black's got the two bishops to boot. |

| |
| Chicago Chess Man: Maybe they transposed moves and black played 8..c6 and then 9...nd7? |

Jul-19-11 N Noritsyn vs Rozentalis, 2010
| |
| Chicago Chess Man: White's continuation leaves him two pawns up as well. It just simplifies the position by removing two more minor pieces. |

Jul-19-11 Onischuk vs B Amin, 2011
| |
| Chicago Chess Man: 34...Qh7 35. Nf6+ Rxf6 36. Qxh7+ Kxh7 37. Rxf6 looks pretty good for white here. Is there anything more convincing that I am missing? |

| |
| Chicago Chess Man: <CG> This would make a great end of the week puzzle at move 36. Nd8+! is great. |
