Nov-28-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018
| |
| Gambit All: Caruana might as well just resign the match. He really made no attempt to win the last few classical games. The pressure got to him. I think he was satisfied to draw the classical game and I am sure he has already rehearsed his post game press comments. He will say Carlsen is ... |

| Gambit All: This whole match was a joke. Other than game 1 a series of listless draws with both players following 'rehearsed' openings; replaying nearly identical lines; repositioning pieces and after several exchanges - either creating a drawn position or agreeing to a draw.

Dec-09-13 Zukertort vs Chess Club, 1868
| |
| Gambit All: Knight 13 it's only been 'Game of the Day' for a few minutes... A nice finish but overall I thought the game was rather lame. Lots of stalling moves then black blunders away a Rook for Bishop exchange. Zuke is underappreciated and it is a good positional game from the 'Romantic ... |
