Nov-30-23 Robson vs Niemann, 2023 
|
Lassannn: 34 ...Qa3 is a blunder so terrible not even I would have made it, and at best I'm about 2000. Niemann scored a performance rating of 2946 a month later. No one that good would make such an error. |

Nov-30-23 I Cheparinov vs Niemann, 2023 
|
Lassannn: 20 ...Bd5 looks suspicious to me. That's the whole point behind 15 ...Bxf2 and it doesn't look like a move any human would play. |

Nov-30-23 Niemann vs A Woodward, 2023 
|
Lassannn: I've been analyzing Niemann's recent games and although this is not proof, I have very a strong suspicion that he cheated in the Tournament of Peace. His game here against Woodward looks like something I would play: he totally botched the opening right out of the gate and had a ... |

Lassannn: instant classic. |

Feb-19-23 Abdusattorov vs A Esipenko, 2023 
|
Lassannn: Instant classic. Needs a nickname. "Nodirbek" is derived from Old Turkic and means "Rare Ruler." Maybe someone can make something out of that. |

Lassannn: Several very computer-like moves from Niemann. |

Sep-29-22 Mishra vs Niemann, 2020 
|
Lassannn: After careful study of this game, I'm convinced that Niemann, here, used a computer engine. I didn't compare his moves to any engine, but no human being plays like this. Black was already winning by move 20 and on move 21 white offers a rook for a knight and black refuses it for 2 ... |

Sep-24-22 Carlsen vs Keymer, 2022 
|
Lassannn: This is the most incredibly accurate endgame I've seen since Rubinstein beat Mattison in 1929. Here it is: H Mattison vs Rubinstein, 1929 |

Jan-16-22 Carlsen vs Giri, 2022 
|
Lassannn: Looks like Giri stumbled into some world championship prep. |

Dec-24-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021 
|
Lassannn: So what are we gonna nickname this game? Because playing against Magnus is like kickboxing against a terminator. It's a classic Magnus game: he finds first a material imbalance and pure chess in the middlegame, seizes the initiative, and then the slight advantage of being able to ... |
