Jun-14-22 Andreas Heirich vs Romanishin, 2004
| |
| Flemming: Romanishin - as Tal - was hard workerm and capable of find moves that only decades later were ruleda s the best of the best by most modern engines. (No wonder that Romanishin was heavily pursued by Soviet state team in order to support their champion...) Here he found that 7. ... |

Apr-29-22 de Riviere vs P Journoud, 1859
| |
| Flemming: For years I thought 8. Qc7 was the best "stopping the development of black pieces", but Fischer at this moment played 8. Qd1 against Tal in Curacao (candidates tournaments, in the first half, when he still had hopes he could win /in latter half he only made draws and "practiced" ... |

| Flemming: 49. Be5??
In 29th move, though, Black had better than 29. ...e2, namely 29. ...Be4+ with win. |

Feb-08-22 B Thelen vs Alekhine, 1943
| |
| Flemming: 20. ...f5 - I tried to understand this move, and I wanted to trust Alekhine, that it must have been a kind of prophylaxis "first to stop white attack on King'f flank and then...", but it seems it was mistake. Black could have had an edge had he played 20. ...Nxc2 right away. And ... |

Feb-08-22 C Carls vs Alekhine, 1943
| |
| Flemming: Theory doesn't like 5. ...Bc5, which was Alekhine's favourite move in various Ruy Lopez and Scottish game positions, and I guess he played it here by habit. 7. g3 looks like an inaccuracy, inviting 7. ...h5, but it was good move. Nevertheless, Alekhine played "modern" and "unheard" |

Jun-27-21 N Karaklajic vs Matulovic, 1955
| |
| Flemming: Be2 easn't poisoned, 24. ...Rxe2 was actually okay. I didn't find any forced win, it looks like =position, and 24. ...Qa5 gave White tempo and put Rook in danger.
With 12. ...O-O, Matulović set a trap, and it's surprising that always cautious (even young) and full of traps ... |

| Flemming: 70. ...Kd6 really? Did Smyslow overlook fork with 71. Nc4+ or what? |

May-29-21 Short vs A Ludgate, 1979
| |
| Flemming: Amazing that there's no comment on this game, I round of British ch and first title (shared) of 14 year old Short. Short showed astounding ability to evaluate position after capturing black Knight: in spite of opposite colored bishops he will have advantage in the endgame. It also ... |
