Jul-20-25 A Lewis vs Plaskett, 2001

| Plaskett: I once told IM Craig Pritchett, as he began a game Vs A.P.Lewis,
"He´s a bloody axeman, that guy!"
In the early middlegame he said to me,
"He´s coming for me with his axe!"
As you saw here, though, I was the better endgame player... |

Jul-20-25 Plaskett vs Tkachiev, 1993
| |
| Plaskett: Afterwards Tkachiev (who needed to win this game for a GM norm, maybe even his GM title!) pointed out that I missed a win at move 31 with 31 Re5!!.
A tactic the like of which I never saw, before or since. |

Jul-20-25 Short vs Kasparov, 1993
| |
| Plaskett: An English GM was commenting for the public on this game, and was taken aback by Gary´s 25... Rxc3.
Apparently he had never seen a Rxc3 sacrifice in the Sicilian.
It was a totally new concept for him. |

Jul-20-25 Plaskett vs Adams, 1986
| |
| Plaskett: This game is rather silly.
Instead of my bonkers 20 c5?, after which Stockfish 16 gives black a huge advantage, there was 20 Rxa5 bxa5 21 Nb3 Ka8... which I hardly considered. Its assessment now, after 21 Nxa5 Rb8 22 d5 is the position is at least 0.7 in white´s favour.

Jul-20-25 Chandler vs Plaskett, 1977
| |
| Plaskett: The game went on quite a bit longer - at least another dozen moves - although I did win it!
Looking at it now I have to see some clear similarities with the second game of the Short Vs Kasparov match of 1993! Short vs Kasparov, 1993 |
