May-05-23 Petrosian vs Tal, 1962
|
MatrixManNe0: Very strange, Timman's tournament book gives the following as the final moves: 58. d5 Kg5 59. h6 exd5 60. Rxd5+ Kg6 61. Rd6+ Kg5 62. h7 Rb8 63. Rd1 Rh8 64. Rh1 But it makes no sense to me why Tal would have chosen 60... Kg6?? instead of the wildly obvious 60... Kxh6 in this ... |

MatrixManNe0: I've been reading through the games in the St. Petersburg 1914 tournament. It's wild just how good Lasker was, and for how long he was good. |

MatrixManNe0: How is the list of “Notable Tournaments” decided? Feel like Linares 1991 should be listed. |

|
MatrixManNe0: MVL played 26. Nd7 here, and then Ivanchuk thought it was cool and played it himself a year later |

MatrixManNe0: Aagaard's Positional Play has the position after 36... Qxb2 as a puzzle in prophylaxis. |

May-10-22 Nisipeanu vs A Moreno Garcia, 2005 
|
MatrixManNe0: Without 25. b4, there is no 28. Bc5, no? Even if the black queen ends up on e7, white is without that extra tempo for the attack |

Apr-12-22 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021 
|
MatrixManNe0: That's why it's a personal opinion and not a strong suggestion |
