| Flemming: ...Qa6 could also have been played one move before. |

Jul-13-19 R Praggnanandhaa vs W So, 2018
| |
| Flemming: I am just watching the game on Youtube, and I was convinced 14. ...d5 would be played. I checked "my" move and 14. ...d5 is completely playable, all right. |

Mar-06-19 H Olafsson vs Larsen, 1985
| |
| Flemming: Very comforting to see that a six-time champion of Iceland, GM who came close to 2600, could make a draw of this. I am not ironic. The fork with 36. Nc6 had to be possible if I am not blind, and later with three extra pawns it was miracle not to win. Not that I claim I would have ... |

Jan-17-19 Robson vs Y Quesada Perez, 2017
| |
| Flemming: 34. ...Qxg6 can hardly be called "sacrifice". 34. ...Rd8 (or Rh8) was hopeless, so Black simply lost the exchange here. White ruined won position, probably due time trouble. |

Jan-15-19 J Meintjes vs S Meenakshi, 2011
| |
| Flemming: 42. Qf6+
Why not this? It is check-mate then. Either the score is wronq or there was a scary time trouble. |

Dec-26-18 F J Sanz Alonso vs Tal, 1974
| |
| Flemming: White played Botvinnik's favourite variation in English game; he maybe wanted to disturb Tal by that, but it seems it was quite opposite. 14. Qd2 instead of Bd3 without excursion in "attack" with the Queen was better defense. |

Dec-10-18 Geller vs R Cifuentes, 1987
| |
| Flemming: 25. Bxc5 was so obvious that I thought it must be bad, but it was really good for a draw. |

| Flemming: 17. ...Rxe8 could have been played. |

Feb-03-18 Ahues vs Alekhine, 1930
| |
| Flemming: 11. ..g5! might have inspired Fischer for his games against Berlinner in 1963 and Miyasaki in 1970 (look at notes). |

Jan-26-18 P Trifunovic vs Korchnoi, 1963
| |
| Flemming: Korchnoi wrote an article for Yugoslav Chess Messenger on this game under titel "How to beat Trifunovic". He analyzed variation after 4. Bh4 g5 so deeply until 20+ move. It seems Korchnoi prepared for several nights to fight Trifunovic's favourite Queen Pawn Game and to avoid dead ... |
