May-17-16 Khalifman vs Adams, 1990
|
babakova: Adams makes it look easy. What a rout. |

Jun-02-15 Fischer vs V Panov, 1967
|
babakova: I was considering 28.Rxf6 exd4 29.Qb3+ Kh8 30.Ng5 which paints a pretty picture with the black queen running out of squares. [DIAGRAM] |

Mar-21-15 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858 
|
babakova: 56.Qh7+ is a very interesting resource.
...Kc6 (any other king move the queen just drops back and checks on the 8th)
57.Qc2+ Kb7 58.Qb2+ The point: e5 is protected and white can battle with his pawn on h7 unlike in the game. 58...Kc8 59.h7
might not be a walk in the park to draw |

Feb-17-15 Larsen vs Korchnoi, 1969 
|
babakova: 34...Rf7 wrong rook.
...Rf8 instead and it isn't clear what white can do to break through. If he tries to pile with either Re2 or Rf2 black has Qh4 with sufficient counterplay. |

Mar-12-14 Kramnik vs Tiviakov, 2001 
|
babakova: 37.R2xg6 fxg6 38.Rh7 Kg8 39.Re7 is another cute option. |

Nov-13-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013) 
|
babakova: finally a respite from polgars annoying voice. |

Aug-13-13 Adams vs Y Wan, 2013 
|
babakova: I would be tempted to resign on the spot if someone played 12.Nxe6 against me. |
