Oct-03-07 K V Shantharam vs K Murugan, 1994 
| |
| Keairolas: Hardest part of this puzzle for me was that chessgames.com doesn't reverse which color is on the bottom with regard to who's turn it is... spent a good couple of minutes thinking before I went, "Oh! BLACK to move. Hey, look a pinned pawn and a rook that can get to the h file if I ... |

| |
| Keairolas: I put 200 on a draw. So perhaps we're canceling each other out. |

Sep-20-07 J Emms vs Tukmakov, 1996
| |
| Keairolas: it's nearly 2am, and no one has posted a thorough and in depth analysis yet? I missed this one! I need someone to explain their thinking process! |

| Keairolas: I love poker. Don't knock poker! Especially because to play poker well you have to extraordinarily patient. |

Sep-19-07 Leko vs Anand, 2007
| |
| Keairolas: Did Leko just say "oops, I let you equalize.", and Anand respond by saying, "Sweet, a free half-point that I don't have to work any harder for!"? |

| |
| Keairolas: Bxc6 is certainly playable... but it leads to a more even game than I thought it would at first glance... I thought white would have a huge advantage, but after Bxc6 Qxc6, Rxb8? That's much better for black than I'd thought it'd be. |

| |
| Keairolas: <percyblakeney> I think 47... Kd4 48. e3+ Ke5 49. Ke2 Kf5 50. h3 leads to something in favor of white. I'm still not convinced that this is a draw. |

Sep-06-07 Flohr vs A Bannik, 1954
| |
| Keairolas: I saw 46. Qd6+ and how to deal with every other move but 46... Kg8. I couldn't evaluate 47. e6 as a winning position. Though it certainly didn't look bad, just not necessarily the end position of a puzzle. |
