Jan-17-22 Carlsen vs Giri, 2022    JohnBoy: Nice link, <cancho>. Giri dealing w black to move 20.      Jan-06-22 G Ravinsky vs Panov, 1943    JohnBoy: The Stockfish analysis here gives “ 16...Nc4 17.Nxd7 Nxd7 18.Bf4 Qa7 19.Bh3 Rc6 20.Qe4 Qb6 21.Bg2 Rc8 22.Nd5 Qd8 23.Bh3 Nc5 24.Qe2 Bd6 25.b3 O-O 26.bxc4 Bxf4 27.Nxf4 Qa5 28.cxb5 Qxb5 29.Qe5 Kh8 30.Rb1 Qc6 31.Bg2 Qc7 32.Qe3 Rb8 33.Rxb8 Rxb8 34.Qc3 Qb6 35.Nd3 Nxd3 36.Qxd3 a5 37.Qc4 ...      Dec-22-21 Sergey Kudrin   JohnBoy: Why does his bio say that he’s a qualified mathematician? I checked https://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nod... and nada. My contention is that the term gets thrown around by ignoranti.      Dec-18-21 S Slonim vs Riumin, 1931    JohnBoy: Yeah� the move is 19�Re2      Dec-15-21 Kotov vs N Povah, 1976    JohnBoy: Brilliant title! I'm curious - why is 12...Qc7 considered (local engine) better than ...h6 to make the knight run? Stuff like this always gets me. I was looking at stuff like 12...h6 13.Bd7 hg5 14.Be6+ Kh8 15.Ng5. But this has about 10^6 holes.      Dec-14-21 J Schulten vs Morphy, 1857    JohnBoy: <WhiteRook> - fwiw, I can push it to mate-in-4 w 18...Qxc3+      Dec-13-21 A Timofeev vs D Frolyanov, 2011    JohnBoy: <offramp> - white overlooked 39.Bxd4 too, winning an X outright. These GMs suck! ;-)      Dec-11-21 Chukaev vs Tal, 1956    JohnBoy: 14...Nb4 starts a cute sequence winning two pawns. The ending anticipates Sagalchik vs Nakamura, 2003      Dec-09-21 Karpov vs Timman, 1988    JohnBoy: <Aug-05-2021 Brenin: OK, CG, I give in: great game, great pun. Now can we please not see this game here for a decade or two?>      Nov-19-21 V Makogonov vs Flohr, 1942    JohnBoy: About 15y ago I executed a sandwich mate a la <Scarlett> in a blitz game at Yahoo. Black K on f6 and all. It was fun and delightful, but there ain't a chance in hell that I could reconstruct the game. In my case it was almost certainly more serendipity in a blunderfest than ...
