Aug-18-20 Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Finals (2020) 
| |
| bahduggi: To choose white, and follow up with a listless 'hope he blunders' effort, fighting for a draw in a must win position, makes me, an unpaid psychologist, suspect Magnus is playing mind games. |

Apr-04-20 W Allnutt vs Lasker, 1903
| |
| bahduggi: Unremarkable pun, unremarkable game. W played like a patzer and got whipped, indeed, but many a far lesser master would have been up to the task of it. |
