Nov-12-13 Carlsen vs Anand, 2013 
| |
| Medieval Knight: Has anyone pointed out that Anand has only seen the King's Indian Attack 6 times as Black since 1989, and that his last two games were losses? (Karpov 1998, World Championship Match, Sasikiran, 2002 FIDE World Cup-C). It was a good try, but I expect Carlson will move on to ... |

May-11-12 Nakamura vs Robson, 2012
| |
| Medieval Knight: Looks like Ray had to hatch the queen on move 45, since 45..Rf3 loses immediately to 46 Nc7+ (Mate in 2) What a finish! |

| |
| Medieval Knight: I sort of got it. I found 22...Bxh2+ and analyzed 23.Kxh2 and 23.Kf2, but didn't analyze 23.Qxh2 (What actually happened!). Good God, my head is in the clouds today! |

Feb-28-11 J Tambini vs V Jones, 2010
| |
| Medieval Knight: How about 29...Rfa8 (Mate next move), 30.Qd8+ Rxd8, 31.Rxd8+ Bf8 32.Rd2 (Preventing Qc2#) Ra1+, 32.Kxa1 Qa4+, 33. Kb1 Qa2+ 34. Kc1 Qa1#. Not as elegant, but it works. White rook on d2 aids the mate. |
