   Jun-12-25 L Kristensen vs D H Campora, 1976
 
NM JRousselle: 12... Nd4 looks like a better move for Black. It prevents White's h4 (threatening Bg5) by forcing the White queen to h3.

NM JRousselle: I believe this player's middle name is John. Using his full middle name might clear up the confusion.
 
   May-30-25 Flohr vs Spassky, 1965
 
NM JRousselle: 39 a3 looks like a weak move (and it is). It seriously weakens White's pawn structure. It's difficult to believe that an endgame genius like Flohr would play this move. Bc1 has to be better.
 
   Apr-23-25 Mason vs Chigorin, 1889 (replies)
 
NM JRousselle: I'm not a fan of 3 Bb8. If Black had played the simple 4... e6, he would have recovered his pawn, had better center control and the bishop pair.
 
   Feb-10-25 Alekhine vs Bogoljubov, 1934
 
NM JRousselle: 51... Rc4 followed by Rh4 would have saved Bogo a lot of trouble.
 
   Jan-16-25 Bobotsov vs Tal, 1958 (replies)
 
NM JRousselle: My idea was a5 followed by a4. The "fish" says this is about -5.5. The text is about -6.5. In either case, Black is easily winning.
 
   Nov-26-24 C Erickson vs D Barkuloo, 1915
 
NM JRousselle: 18.f4 shouldn't lose, but opening up the long diagonal to Black's unopposed light squared bishop like that is asking for trouble. Stockfish 17 gives 18.b3 Bb7 19.f3 as +1. White's a pawn up for very little. After 18.f4? Bb7 White's advantage plummets to +0.1. I LOVE this ...
 
   Oct-10-24 Rubinstein vs Flamberg, 1906 (replies)
 
NM JRousselle: 53 b5 certainly looks like the correct path forward.
 
   Sep-18-24 Flamberg vs S Levitsky, 1914 (replies)
 
NM JRousselle: It was amazing how quickly Black's game went downhill. I was looking at the position after 27 Qb1. My 1st thought was that Black should trade queens and play f5. The "fish" says that was the best path forward.
 
   Aug-31-24 P Trifunovic vs Pirc, 1948
 
NM JRousselle: What is so memorable about this game?
