| YoungEd: More of a fortunate win for Black than a great game throughout, but the pun deserves a tip of the hat. |

Jun-02-23 Rapport vs Shankland, 2019
| |
| YoungEd: Looks like one of those games where White calculated one move further than Black, who must have missed 28. Be4. Nice combo by White! |

May-30-23 H Grund vs I Starostits, 1996
| |
| YoungEd: Beautiful final move! The e5 rook is taboo because of the Qf8++ threat, so White has time to pile up force on the e-file, winning the bishop back and much more. |

| YoungEd: Now that Stockfish is on the scene, I can answer "yes!" to <Auto's" question from almost 18 years ago! |

May-28-23 J Xie vs S Lalic, 1996
| |
| YoungEd: My inexpert eye views 13. O-O-O with suspicion; I would have castled short and hunkered down for a long game. |

Apr-24-23 Szabados vs G Primavera, 1951
| |
| YoungEd: 17...Nxe4 superficially looks like it picks up a free pawn, but no! If Black takes the rook, 19. Ng5+ wins the house. |

| |
| YoungEd: The YoungEd Express scores a rare victory on this one! |

Mar-31-23 Bogoljubov vs Nimzowitsch, 1930
| |
| YoungEd: Stockfish notates 11. O-O-O with a ?, and that seems right. The white king just heads into the vicinity with a cluster of black pieces. The position doesn't look ripe for a white king-side pawn storm, so I don't see the point of castling long. |

Mar-30-23 Gossip vs J Mieses, 1889
| |
| YoungEd: It looks like 16. Ne5? was a real turning point in the game; the knight can't stay on d5, and so it can't really protect the advanced e-pawn. White falls apart pretty quickly after looking more or less okay in an exciting game. |
