Oct-11-09 Kramnik vs Anand, 1999

| UnicornChessman: Could Anand have played 7...c4, or is the material gain it appears to hold only an illusion? It seems to keep an extra pawn in material. Am I missing something? |

Sep-29-09 C Stanley vs Morphy, 1857
| |
| UnicornChessman: I guess Morphy sucked at blindfold chess... (This was a blindfold game) |

Sep-16-09 Fischer vs Bronstein, 1970
| |
| UnicornChessman: Hm, in response to the person who objected to wheelchair bandit's comment of "well, it is blitz", I guess I honestly have to agree with wheelchair bandit. Normally I wouldn't, but in the notes it specifies that it is 5 minute blitz, and with the game having 47 moves, the ... |

Aug-12-09 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1987

Aug-12-09 Morphy vs A Morphy, 1850
| |
| UnicornChessman: I'd like to see this game again, but with Morphy playing Queen odds, instead of Rook odds. Anyone else also feel that would be insanely fantastic? |

Aug-09-09 Kasparov vs Anand, 2000
| |
| UnicornChessman: Wow, it's hard to believe that a great player like Kasparov actually slipped and lost a pawn on move 10... For no actual compensation either. hm... |
