Apr-13-16 Reti vs Bogoljubov, 1924 
| |
| analysethat: Alfieri, I also missed Bxc5. So you are in bad company. I did however see that after 25 ...h6 26. Qxf8+ Kh7 27. Bg6+ Kxg6 28. Qf5# :) |

Dec-11-15 Korchnoi vs Karpov, 1981
| |
| analysethat: Nice finishing combination by Korchnoi with 37. Qb3 forcing open the diagonal and then driving the king to g7 setting up the fork. The motif with Qe8+ was there since the bishop landed on d6, but being a mere mortal I would not have guessed at this at move 37. |

May-26-08 Kasparov vs Anand, 1991
| |
| analysethat: <I love the queen manouevering from d1-h5-h4-e1-c3.> Good comment and I agree. i saw the moves to h5 and h4 as individual moves, but Kasparov included them as part of a bigger plan. This cleared d1 for the rook and got the queen on to the black squares so that black had to |

May-26-08 Kasparov vs Anand, 1995
| |
| analysethat: <15.Nb3!! ended that match immediately—Vishy put up incredible resistance but it took him a few YEARS to recover from his loss >
from Kasparov's comments in his book "Chess imitates life" it seems 15. Nb3 was prematch preparation. In fact Kasparov was fantasizing so much |

May-08-08 Karpov vs L Tagmatarxis, 2001
| |
| analysethat: <KKW: 6...d5 was Black's major blunder> good point. When Karpov played 7. exd5! he probably already saw the variation in which the knight would be hanging for 11.Qxd5 once the pawn was d pawn was gone. He was going to win something, the knight was a bonus. His sequence of ... |

| analysethat: <cyruslaihy: karpov must have cried "fork!!!" after he saw his own blunder> <MaxxLange: Christiansen supposedly asked Karpov if he wanted to analyze the game after this.> lol :)
