| Vishy but not Anand: < Everett: After 16.Be3 Bb4 white will probably have problems finding safe haven for his king. 16.Bd2 returns the pawn, shores up the N and makes time for castling.> Nonsense, white doesn't need to castling, he just need to continue to gain space advantage to ... |

Dec-29-08 Portisch vs Westerinen, 1963
| |
| Vishy but not Anand: < Vishy but not Anand: Lajos Portisch focus was in the queenside and I think Kingside maneuver is better than Queenside in this position. Anyway, black position is basically cramped and it is not easy for black to get a breakthrough in queenside. So I think 15.Na4? is |

Dec-28-08 Ponomariov vs Sadler, 1999
| |
| Vishy but not Anand: 22. h4! Bh6
23. Qb6! threatening mate at b7. The best way to attack black king is simple and direct. Another possible option is 22.Bxb7 but after I made a glance analysis, it seem that it can't reach any winning position)
Options...
23....Bxe3+
23....Bc8

Dec-20-08 Seirawan vs A Kuligowski, 1983
| |
| Vishy but not Anand: The worst defense can even mate it in 39th move. The actual game made a very bad defense of Qd7?? as I explained in previous post that made mate inevitable at move 40th at Qh4. The best defense for black of which no one seem sees it so far from the post except me is ... |

Dec-16-08 F Bellini vs V Gashimov, 2002
| |
| Vishy but not Anand: Memory overload! They've memorized too much booklines and forgot the basic mate. Anyway, there were lots of errors through-out the game like... (1) 18. Nb6? better move is Nxe5 black position is quite inferior. (2)20. Qxe5? Why not...
20. Nxe4 Qg5
21. g6 (not a ... |

Dec-14-08 Fischer vs Geller, 1967
| |
| Vishy but not Anand: < Vishy but not Anand: I think Fischer's mistakes were 19. Qf1 a long way maneuver and 20. a3?? due to weakens his support at b3.
I prefer the following continuation with continuous flow of attack... 19. bxc3 Qa6 (or Qb7)
20. Rdf1 (his rook is no use at d1 so ... |
