| Ed Caruthers: I guess the point is, even grandmasters drop pieces by overlooking the obvious. I only wish I hadn't. |

Mar-28-05 Keene vs J Tarjan, 1975
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Portisch-Gheorghiu, Manila 1974, went 17...Nc8. Did Gligorich recommend Tarjan's next 6 moves? Did both Gligorich and Tarjan miss your 23rd in pregame analysis? |

Feb-22-05 I Rabinovich vs Botvinnik, 1937
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Does the position after 24...Kf7 look bad for White? Why doesn't White ever push h4-h5, to loosen up Black's king? |

Jan-25-05 M R Vukcevich vs A Bisguier, 1969
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Did V. miss the trick a move earlier? 19.Nh6+ looks like it works. Not that 19.Rd1 gave Black any chance to avoid the combination. |

Jan-13-05 A Kovacevic vs G Tringov, 1993
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Did Black lose on time?
This is an ending I would have to play out with Black. If the Rooks get exchanged, it's a well-known draw. I think White can use the extra material to push Black to the edge & wind up winning the Rook. But Black gets lots of checks with the Rook. ... |

Jan-13-05 L Ross vs D Gurevich, 2004
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Laura Ross is a 2100+ player who knows how easy the ending is for Black. And Gurevich is 2500+ and would win this ending 1000 out of 1000. More generally, I think you're better off getting some rest before the next game (or the drive home)instead of sitting at the board feeling |

Jan-07-05 Short vs W N Watson, 1986
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Was 28...Nxg3 the critical error, losing an extra exchange? What's the evaluation after 28...Bg7; 29.Bxe5, Bxe5; 30.Rxe5, Kf8? |

Jan-04-05 A Harju vs M Liimatta, 1986
| |
| Ed Caruthers: Why not 13...Qxh2+ winning the exchange a few moves earlier? Were there chances to win more if White went wrong between the 13th & 17th moves? |

Oct-25-04 A Sokolov vs Bologan, 1998
| |
| Ed Caruthers: One of those rare games with a theme running all the way through it. After 12...d5, all Black's dark squares are weak. White offers a P at b2, an exchange at a1, and another P at h2 to get rid of the Bg7. The Bc5 dominates the game. And 26Qd6+ will use the dark square fork to ... |
