Nov-04-07 Bareev vs Kasparov, 1991 
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: <fgh> The reason you don't see it, is because it's not on the board yet.
I'm sure you'll agree that on GM-level missing a mate in 3 is called a blunder. <ToTheDeath> Young Bareev? The guy was 25 at that time. His opponent was officially the best player in the ... |

Oct-21-07 Krasenkow vs Nakamura, 2007
| |
Ernest van der Sar: Qxf2 really should not be that hard to find for a grandmaster. Arena 1.08, a programm which I think has a rating of  2000, found it in a couple of seconds. So I rather see it as Krasenkow being somewhat careless, ... |

Feb-12-06 Paulsen vs Morphy, 1857
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: <Averageguy> Come on...Qd3 an impressive move? It's a clear blunder from white to allow this move. |

Nov-13-05 Maurian vs Morphy, 1856
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: Maurian toys with Morphy?? I'd say Morphy is toying with Maurian. He refuses to resign a clearly lost game. In words he says: "Here I am, come and get me." Basically the same story as starting a game a knight down. |

Sep-03-05 P Leisebein vs Graber, 1984
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: Black resigned???? What about ...34.Rxg2 35.Rxg2 Qd4+...and white has not much more than a small material advantage and his king is a good target! |

Aug-11-05 Kasparov vs Gulko, 1982
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: I am very sure Kasparov only overlooked (a?) small detail(s) which you and me are not capable of spotting.
As long as the opponents king is not safe, you can defeat him even when you're a lot more material down then Kasparov was in this game. |

Jul-14-05 Petrosian vs Parma, 1961
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: I really can't understand why some here tend to stuff feathers up the often famous or infamous grandmaster's a*** after a great mistake by the opponent...If Parma would have been more carefull, he might have caught a draw. I wouldn't dare calling a draw a notable game for |

Jun-13-05 Kasparov vs Fritz, 1994
| |
| Ernest van der Sar: I guess Kasparov only lost these few games, cause he did not yet fully understand the way Fritz calculates it's moves. After he did, the machine is lituraly being crushed. By the way, the ones he did loose, he most of the time just missed a move during tactics, so in fact |
