May-08-24 Fischer vs Larsen, 1971    DanLanglois: After 20...Kf6: [DIAGRAM] Fisher misses 21. Bd6!, plays 21. Bf3? Loses all advantage, which was overwhelming, all edge now gone. 21...Ne5 22. Qd4 Kg6 23. Rxe5 Qxe5 24. Qxd7 Rad8 25. Qxb7 Qe3+ 26. Kf1 Rd2 27. Qc6+ Re6 28. Bc5 Rf2+ 29. Kg2 Rxg2+ 30. Kxg2 Qd2+ 31. Kh1 Rxc6 32. ...      Apr-28-24 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2024    DanLanglois: 91...Rb4+ [DIAGRAM] 92. Kc3 [DIAGRAM] Black played not 92...Kg6 or 92...Kh6 or 92...Rb3+ but 92...Kf6?? [DIAGRAM]      Apr-28-24 Nakamura vs V S Gujrathi, 2024    DanLanglois: 'Vidit killed the internet star' touché      Apr-24-24 P Maghsoodloo vs D Gukesh, 2024   DanLanglois: Obvious to you maybe. You have a way of agreeing with every word disagreeably. What else can you do?      Apr-22-24 V S Gujrathi vs D Gukesh, 2024    DanLanglois: 29. c5? and 30. Nc4? It looks like White has some notion of clearing the c4-square for that knight. But, it's a terrible idea, and after 30...Qe1, Black is totally up in White's business, White can pretty much resign already.      Mar-17-24 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008    DanLanglois: 12. Nxf7 bunk? Not really. It's not as if there is no compensation. I wouldn't really argue that it's 'best', but White isn't throwing away a forced win. After 17. Qc2: [DIAGRAM] 17...Qxd4? comp gives 17...Rhg8! here, anticipating 18. Qg6.      Mar-15-24 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022    DanLanglois: <29...<fxg4> 30.Rxe4 f5 31.Re7+ Kf6 32.Rf7+ Kg5 33.Rg7+ Kh4 34.f3 gxf3 35.exf3 b5 36.Kd2 Nc4+ 37.Kd3 Rc8 38.Kd4 Rd8+ 39.Kc5> [DIAGRAM] -+      Mar-09-24 Tarrasch vs Lasker, 1908   DanLanglois: Much 'processing' here of Lasker's 15...Re5 and 16...Rc5, as if Lasker actually gets a good position out of this w/out relying on Tarrach's subsequent bad moves. What is actually most interesting to me is that Tarrash doesn't resign before he does. By the time he is two pawns ...      Mar-06-24 Kasparov vs Kramnik, 2000   DanLanglois: After 10...Ke8 White to move: [DIAGRAM] 11. Ne4 c5 12. c3 b6 13. Re1 Be6 14. g4 [DIAGRAM] draw. White has better. 11. Rd1 Be7 12. g4 Nh4 13. Nxh4 Bxh4 14. Ne2 h5 15. f3 a5 14. Nf4: [DIAGRAM] +- This line includes some big decisions, of course, for Black. Take it for a look ...      Mar-04-24 Karpov vs Uhlmann, 1973   DanLanglois: 22. g4 is helped considerably by 22...Nxd4?
