   Jul-27-25 Kasparov vs Short, 1993 (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: <Jul-02-02 bishop: Short plays a little bit too provacatively.> And Kasparov, of course, is not to be threatened with a good time. I was wondering if there were vague changes of holding after 21. ... Qxg5 22. Bxg5 Bxc3. Probably not, and 22. Rh3+ makes that moot.

Twilight of the Idol: "I saw it on the internet." And, of course, no one on the internet would ever lie.
 
   May-25-25 M Kraemer vs Keymer, 2025 (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: <unspiek: White should have tried to prevent Black from building that Q-side space advantage. 14. b4, WTI b5, might have done that> That probably is an improvement, but I'd definitely still take black after 14. ... Nf5 15. Ne2 Qb5. It seems like White's attack ...
 
   May-24-25 TePe Sigeman & Co (2025) (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: <OhioChessFan: <off: Is it a <really> good thing to have the <softest> toothbrush <I've ever used>?> It's a necessary thing.> I hope it isn't. I'd much rather offramp throw out his used toothbrushes.

Twilight of the Idol: The old king is dead. May he rest in peace.
 
   Feb-23-25 Ivanchuk vs F Oro, 2025 (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: Perhaps a stronger player can explain to me why, exactly, this is a draw in the final position.
 
   Feb-17-25 Djerba Masters (2025) (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: A quick look at the field suggests that Mr. Oro has bit off more than he can chew... The score table suggests the same. Nevertheless, maybe this will be good for his chess development?
 
   Feb-17-25 Chessgames - Bang (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: <So far, so good, but there's another ply remaining. Interpose.> 1. Qg7+ Rxg7 2. e7+ Rf7 3. e8=Q+ Qf8 4. Bxf7#
 
   Jan-23-25 So vs B van der Zwet, 2015 (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: A compelling game. Is black already lost by move 14? 14. ... f5 and he winds up in a debilitating bind, but how else was it possible to cope with the direct attack? 14. ... Ba6 15. Ng5 g6 16. h5! and black looks totally busted. 16. ... hxg5 17. hxg6+ Kg8 18. Rh7 and you
 
   Jan-01-25 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2024 (replies)
 
Twilight of the Idol: Somewhere, Viktor Korchnoi is smiling, assuming he does such things. Apparently, Carlsen could have played 19. Nxg7. The engine confirms it, though rejects my idea of 19. ... Rg8 20. Nxe6?! Rxg4 21. Nxc5 Bxc5 22. Nf5 h5?! 23. Bg5 Re8 24. Nh6, when black is winning after
