Feb-24-22 A W Fox vs Karper, 1900 
|
Timwestlund: 21.♕g6!! followed by ♖d5! must be one of the most beautifull combinations i've ever seen. Considering that white saw this, it is very strange that he did not see 17.♕g4. It's not like ♕g4 is a strange engine move, it's an obvious and decisive double ... |

Feb-16-21 Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1991 
|
Timwestlund: This shows how dangerous the moscow variation is. It might not have the same reputation as the main lines but, as this game shows, it does have some poison. A positional masterpiece by Ivanchuk. |

Timwestlund: I don't think the pun matches the game, but I understand how easy it was to think it does. His name is not "Gosta Holtz" it's "Gösta Holtz". The letter ö is pronounced approximately like the letter combination "eu" in french. As the chessgames admins probably don't have a ... |

Sep-06-20 N Grandelius vs Shirov, 2018
|
Timwestlund: Great game by Grandelius. This is the best game i've seen live. This game was played in an open tournament and I was playing in the U1600 tournament. I was following this game when waiting for my opponent to move. My strongest memory from this game was seeing Shirov's reaction ... |
