Feb-01-23 Giri vs Carlsen, 2023 
| |
| ILikeKeres: It's tactical shot after tactical shot in this game by Giri. I think that 12...d6 may have been too slow, and 12 ... 0-0 may have been better to give up the pawn. Otherwise, Carlsen just gets run over by the initiative here. |

Oct-07-22 Niemann vs Xiong, 2022
| |
| ILikeKeres: Interesting encounter between two promising youngsters. I would have considered the immediate 17. b4 followed by a c4 push after the exchanges. 25...Rf2 was worth a try. I don't see why exchanging rooks with 37...Rf8 is wrong either. |

| ILikeKeres: Russia is mobilizing more troops in the war, and is forcing protestors to go to the front lines. I wish the fighting would stop. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/23/1124... |

| ILikeKeres: Wow. What is going on?
There was an investigation at Sinquefield, and Niemann was exonerated. Poor taste on Carlsen's part, but he still wants to claim plausible deniability. Everything is tossed out the window at this point. |

Sep-17-22 E Goltseva vs V Gunina, 2022
| |
| ILikeKeres: 8. g4 !? is weakening. White's initiative doesn't look really strong. Black beats off the attack, and strikes back with 27...e5! After black seizes control of the center, it's game over. This is a textbook example sticking to classical principles. |
