| TheTamale: <beatgiant> If it's Magnus's god-awful hair you're looking for, you can just search Magnus Carlsen vs Nodirbek Abdusattorov Tata Steel 2023. |

Apr-18-25 Reti vs Tartakower, 1910
| |
| TheTamale: In Tartakower's own "A Breviary of Chess," Tartakower gives Black's tenth move as ...Kc7, not Ke8. I see that Winter's article (linked to above), however, and other books, presumably (judging by previous comments) give it as the later. |

Dec-31-24 J Polgar vs Kasparov, 2006
| |
| TheTamale: Reading over the comments here, I'm amazed to find no one got around to reminding us that men's rights are human rights... |

Sep-18-24 Blackburne vs Thomson, 1916
| |
| TheTamale: No matter what Black plays, 19) Nf6 is mate. I think the 0-1 here is a typo. |

Jul-26-24 Kosteniuk vs J Ovchinikova, 2000
| |
| TheTamale: According to Engine, White had but a trivial advantage after 22) Bd5. Hard to imagine Black would open the file like that in a championship game. Kind of early for time trouble... who knows? |

May-19-24 Staunton vs NN, 1840
| |
| TheTamale: According to Engine, White is up a whopping 0.10+ at this point. |

| TheTamale: <Sham>'s comment from 2015 compelled me to go onto Amazon, bring up Less Than Zero, click the preview button, and read the first paragraph. Yes, pretty bad. Of course, I'm saying that without reading any further for context. But as a stand-alone, pretty bad. |

Feb-27-23 NN vs G Helbach, 1891
| |
| TheTamale: And what about 15)... Rg8?? Hard to see why this is one of Helbach's featured games. |

Feb-10-23 C Ponizil vs K Stupak, 2006
| |
| TheTamale: According to Engine, Black already has a -2.30 advantage at the time of the gross blunder. This game is Cyril vs. Kirill, so really it's tantamount to a Cyril vs. Cyril or Kirill vs. Kirill, depending on your etymological preference. In any event, it's cool. |
