May-13-09 C Lawton vs Shabalov, 2009
| |
| Oprenovic: 17...g5! prevents the white queen from getting to h6 and it holds the h-file closed
position after 18.Bxf8 Kxf8 is quite good for black, because he is a pawn up and white has no means to go on with the attack (19.Nf3 f6 20.Ne4 Bf5 21.Ng3 Nd6) |

Oct-21-07 R Tischbierek vs Uhlmann, 1985
| |
| Oprenovic: after the exchange of queens white seems to be out of the worst
the play remains very complicated though and 37.h4 is the losing mistake leaving the rook closed on h5 |

Oct-15-07 Spassky vs Korchnoi, 1977
| |
| Oprenovic: it seems 37.Rc3 was a mistake, white should have maybe played 37.Be7 not allowing black queen to put itself on d8-h4 diagonal. white advantage looks considerable but i cant see a way to win, seems black is quite holding his fortress... 38.g3 was perhaps yet another mistake, id ... |

| |
| Oprenovic: white seemingly underestimated the power of 23...a4, after which black knights really enjoyed the game |

Oct-13-07 Larsen vs Ivkov, 1965
| |
| Oprenovic: looks like an equal ending... which black loses
i think 40...h6 was better for black forcing white to exchange queens on f6 and leave his pawn on h-file
it was on move 40 and maybe time trouble also played some part |

Feb-18-07 A Volokitin vs Ganguly, 2007
| |
| Oprenovic: yes, i like this line too
but the ending looks so promising for white at first sight, i am not sure where he went wrong, perhaps he should stick with his bishop pair? |
