Oct-04-13 Topalov vs Morozevich, 2013 
|
Guitar1352: Can someone please tell me why, at move 15, black did not play c5? I mean, it stops the discovered attack on the knight on b6, so there would be no Nxe6, right? Am I right when I say that the reason he didn't play 15... c5 was because he would be giving up most of the centre as ... |

Sep-05-13 Tal vs V Akopian, 1992 
|
Guitar1352: If this is Tal's last game he ever played, all I can say is I'm bedazzled. His last move really made sad as it's a novelty, and to end his chess career by putting his king on his original square just makes you want to have a minute's silence to remember such a genius. |

|
Guitar1352: I agree with KittySafe. Garry deliberately wanted to lose this game. Besides, who knows? Maybe his nerves got the better of him? Anyway, Deep Blue cheated to win him because it had to be upgraded for this match, so technically IBM had to cheat Garry in order to win him! And ... |

Mar-27-13 Carlsen vs Kramnik, 2013 
|
Guitar1352: Can someone please tell me why, on move 12, Black played Nxf4 instead of NxC3?
Because Black would then have been up a Pawn, right? Because; 12 ... NxC3
13 BxC3
13 ... BxC3
Did Kramnik decide to keep the game even, or did he generally make an error? |
