Sheroff has kibitzed 9 times to chessgames

Dec-14-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024    Sheroff: This was, alas, a fairly uninspiring chess world championship. Ding was clearly not at his best (I think he missed the fairly simple 37. Re8! in his game 12 win, for example), and he seemed to be under more-than-normal mental strain during this match. Well-deserved congrats to ...      Dec-11-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024    Sheroff: After 36...Rc4, I thought the immediate 37. Re8! looked like a clear winner. Am I wrong?      Aug-20-14 D Mason vs D Smerdon, 2012    Sheroff: It's a real shame that White missed the crushing 29.Qh6!! (instead of 29.Nh6+).

After 23.Kc3, Ne4# ends the onslaught.      Sep-08-10 K Casey vs L Piedmont, 1988    Sheroff: Black has no defense against mate, the immediately threatened one being 16.c3+ Ke3 17.Rf3+ Ke2 18.Rd2+ Ke1 19.Rf1#.      Sep-08-10 K Casey vs J Sarfati, 1999    Sheroff: Having lured Sarfati into a tricky prepared variation saturated with possibilities for tactical bamboozlement, I falter at move 17. Up until then both players have played with great energy and precision. I felt instinctively that 17.e6 was the correct and thematic move, but was ...
