Jun-02-08 Smyslov vs V Liberzon, 1968 
|
Oxford: The opening of this game is a Closed Sicilian with colors reversed, which is quite interesting since Smyslov often played the Closed Sicilian as white! (The position after 10-11 moves is very similar to Closed Sicilian positions that occurred in the Spassky-Larsen match in 1968.) |

Mar-04-08 Nunn vs A Beliavsky, 1988 
|
Oxford: <What was wrong with the simple 32. f5?> Perhaps he wanted to prevent 32. ... Bh6 33. Rxh3 Qg5+? The win after 32. Nd7 seems quite clear-cut. |

|
Oxford: In Russia it is called the Chelyabinsk, I think. At least that's what Kasparov keeps calling it in his books. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelya... for more information about this city. |

Feb-21-08 Topalov vs Carlsen, 2008 
|
Oxford: <The people who said this game was drawish after move 18 should take a chess refresher.> Yes, I know! I felt really stupid a couple of moves later. |

|
Oxford: Why is this the "Flohr System"? Isn't it a Zaitsev? |

|
Oxford: What was the alternative to 51. Kb1 - the move everyone is wondering about? 51. Rd1 Bf4 looks dangerous for white, no? |

Jan-27-08 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2008 
|
Oxford: 36. ... Ra7 looks good, protecting both d7 and against potential threats to f7. |

|
Oxford: 25. Rc3 Bb4 26. Rh3 Nf8 27. Nh6+ gxh6 28. Nf6+ Kh8 29. Qxh6 looks dangerous for black, though. Or did I make a mistake somewhere? |
