Dec-07-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021 
| |
| Retireborn: Carlsen's zeitnot worked in his favour, as Nepo didn't want to play 27.f3 as Black could play ...Nh6 quickly. |

| |
| Retireborn: Megabase assigns the white pieces to someone called Viktor Karpov, (b 1963) At least it wasn't Anatoly Korchnoi! |

Dec-01-21 Tal vs Shamkovich, 1955
| |
| Retireborn: It's a surprise to see this line, which one associates with Sveshnikov in the 70s, being played as early as 1955. Shamkovich would have had no theory or experience to rely on. The Stockfish engine notes that 13...Be6 is the standard move now. I do not like the move 15...h5. ... |

| Retireborn: I feel the Inspiration of the Muse;
Ever since the day that I was born
I've dedicated myself to studying soft pawn
I'd stay up all night, analyse till dawn
Anything rather than mow the lawn
(It's occupied by a rather aggressive fawn)
The variations would make you yawn

Nov-30-21 Vaganian vs A Lein, 1971
| |
| Retireborn: <Straclonoor> One wonders if 42...f5? was a nervous sealed move and the draw agreed without resumption, as 42...f6 is still winning. |
