JCigan: Looks more like 1-0 to me unless white flagged. |

Aug-14-21 Speelman vs Azmaiparashvili, 1994 
|
JCigan: I found this puzzle to be easy enough but I find White passing on 39. Rh8+ harder to understand. Yes I know it?s easily won regardless. But? a rook is a rook |

Jul-14-21 Navara vs Wang Hao, 2019
|
JCigan: Yep, it is that hopeless because white is picking up the b pawn and black will be hopeless against three passed pawns, a material advantage, and an activity advantage |

JCigan: Last move can?t be right. |

Feb-13-21 Caruana vs A Esipenko, 2021
|
JCigan: An Englishman, that'd be because it's not an actual sacrifice of the h4 knight. White has Bg5 if Black takes. |

|
JCigan: How on earth does White miss 13. Nxe7 winning a piece? |

Apr-21-20 Carlsen vs Firouzja, 2020 
|
JCigan: He got a fine position out of the opening so there’s no reason to give the Ragozin up |

Nov-10-19 V Artemiev vs Aronian, 2019
|
JCigan: How on earth does white, one of the best technicians in the world, lose the position at move 53? While the move he plays draws still - that’s how much margin for error there is - after 53. Kd3/d2 surely a draw would have been agreed on the spot. |

|
JCigan: Did Radjabov for real miss 57... e2, easily winning? |

|
JCigan: Not a great puzzle as there are numerous wins. I had 21. Rh7 and see no reason to believe it’s worse than the game move. |
