Oct-09-24 Bogoljubov vs Botvinnik, 1936   DouglasGomes: 10. Bb2 makes more sense honestly      Jan-14-24 J van Foreest vs Firouzja, 2024    DouglasGomes: It seems the ending after 17. Qxg6 hxg6 doesn't really give White an edge.      Dec-30-23 V Sanal vs E Can, 2012    DouglasGomes: 204... Kg6 is a instant draw      Dec-30-23 J Vakhidov vs Carlsen, 2023   DouglasGomes: 21. Be4 looks pretty good      Dec-20-23 S Sjugirov vs D Gukesh, 2023    DouglasGomes: 22. exf6? Qxf6 23. Qg3 Rf8 and White will lose either f2 or c3. So 22. c4 is the better move. However 23... Nxb4 threatens Nc2, so it would be better to play 23. Qe2. Then 23... Nxb4 24. Bc3 (to defend e5) a5 25. Nh2 (possibly going to f3, watches out for Qh4) and Black still ...      Dec-03-23 Adams vs M A Tabatabaei, 2023   DouglasGomes: 14... g5? no good. After the normal 14... Ng6, White has a typical edge but nothing more.      Dec-02-23 I Stohl vs Korchnoi, 1993    DouglasGomes: Pro tip: If your opponent willingly puts his king on the corner with 92.. Kh8, just cut off the king with something like 93. Qc7 and you can just premove with the king.      Nov-26-23 M Hoffmann vs X Bu, 1999    DouglasGomes: Presumably the player with the Black pieces was afraid of short castling. But how is Rg8 and Kf8 any better?      Nov-25-23 Paulsen vs Anderssen, 1862   DouglasGomes: Allowing the trade of queens with 23. d6 looks tame. 23. Qd2, sacking the exchange looks much better. Even if not 25. Kf2, better still is 25. Rfe1 Rxe3 Kf2 Rd3 Kxe2 and White still has a big advantage. The potential Ne6 will net material when Black tries to eliminate the c7 ...      Nov-25-23 McShane vs J Cobb, 1995   DouglasGomes: Position after 12... c6 is a nice test position. 13. fxg6 is by far the best move.
