Aug-16-23 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2008   Dave12: Listen to what Kramnik had to say about this game, 12 years later. Really interesting... https://youtu.be/KjRaDPhlyBQ Start at 5:10      Jul-16-23 So vs Carlsen, 2023    Dave12: The great vladimir Kramnik recently said that watching some of Carlsen rapid/blitz games, he feels that he would be 'very proud' if he himslef was able to produce such a level of play in classical. This game is probably one of them.      Mar-28-23 So vs Nakamura, 2023   Dave12: Amazing defensive play from naka, i think. To my unproffessional eyes 49..Nc4 was so strong, because this knight will prevent white from forcing a draw a few moves later      Feb-06-22 Rapport vs V Fedoseev, 2022    Dave12: <farticchio: The shadow of AlphaZero 👽> Maybe, but I don't think this was a preparation, as Rapport took 11 min to decide on 18.Rxd6 instead of going for the Knight-hunt, this move has dragged the game into the position were his brilliant plan kicked off.      Jan-02-22 Vachier-Lagrave vs G Dudin, 2021    Dave12: wow 26.Nxb5 was amazingly strong.      Dec-23-21 Rapport vs Karjakin, 2021   Dave12: This game is similar to Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1991 in a lot of aspects. 2N vs 2B, piece activity, beautiful play against the cornered king. Rapport's style of play is comparable to Ivanchuk.      Oct-29-21 Swiercz vs Firouzja, 2021    Dave12: Move 59: white cannot capture back with Qxh2 because of Ng3+, Ne2+, Qxh2 and mate.      Aug-24-21 Shankland vs Rapport, 2021   Dave12: Hi, after a fine attack to win the h pawn (starting with 26..Ng3), Rapport could have possibly earn a nice advantage with 34..Bxf3 instead of gxf4, avoiding the c file double pawns      May-25-21 Fischer vs Ivkov, 1970    Dave12: <Albion 1959: Was Ne1 !! A decoy or deflection sacrifice? I can never quite get them right> Ne1 !! is not a decoy, just a beautiful way to avoid the exchange of queens. An incredible Fischer-eye move      Feb-18-21 J Polgar vs Shirov, 1994    Dave12: Very instructive.
