Feb-25-14 Botvinnik vs Bronstein, 1951 
| |
| Corndog2: Bronstein, one of the greatest players who should have probably become world champion. |

Mar-23-13 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2013
| |
| Corndog2: Carlsen seems to love playing these structures as white. I believe it was nearly the same structure with Grischuk earlier in the tournament, although I believe Grischuk's pawns were on c7 and c6 then. |

| |
| Corndog2: I ought to try this gambit out in a tournament against a master or something! |

Sep-04-11 A Bozic vs M Radojcic, 1947
| |
| Corndog2: Just played a game against this 12...Qa5 move in a serious tournament. My opponent just forgot the theory (which is like suicide when playing the Botvinnick), and let's just say that the game wasn't too fun for him. |

May-13-11 J Mieses vs M Kann, 1885
| |
| Corndog2: One would at first think of the Caro-Kann as a solid and drawish opening. Think again! |

Apr-17-11 Taimanov vs Najdorf, 1953
| |
| Corndog2: Without a doubt, this is the best game ever played with the KID (there are others, but this one is spectacular). I play risky openings like this, such as the Najdorf, semi slav (can be), and sometimes the KID. All are risky, but if one can land an attack like this, you would be ... |

Apr-17-11 Chiburdanidze vs Psakhis, 1980
| |
| Corndog2: The Poisoned Pawn variation is a popular but extremely complicated line in the Najdorf. Nice play by Psakhis in this game to hold on to his material and the win. |

Apr-17-11 I Bilek vs Fischer, 1962
| |
| Corndog2: After 12.Bc4, doesn't 12...Bb4 give black a slight advantage? Isn't this the line that is played more commonly nowadays? To me, black's position is more attractive, and I don't know if white has compensation for his pawn.
Example Line: 12...Bb4 13.Rb3,Qa5 14.0-0, 0-0 15.Bf6, Nxf6 ... |
