May-21-21 Botvinnik vs Tal, 1960 
| |
| Johnnysaysthankyou: I’m pretty sure this game was a Russian forced resignation. For after 41.Kg7 b7 42. Rb3 Nd8 and then bringing the king in, black is winning. Tal was probably playing above the meter like he always was and was forced to resign to make the match “more fair”. |

Jul-19-17 Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1927
| |
| Johnnysaysthankyou: Capablanca has this almost psychic way of deceiving his opponents, of leading them astray. The positions he creates have a delusion to them. It always looks like Capablanca is losing, always looks like he is worse, but then he wins, and you scratch your head. The ... |
