Feb-26-23 So vs V Keymer, 2023
| |
| cehertan: Black got too cute with 33..Nb1 when 33..axb3 should hold. Got to admire Keymers fighting spirit though. |

Feb-26-23 P Maghsoodloo vs J van Foreest, 2023
| |
| cehertan: The pawn sac 21.f4! is very impressive.
[DIAGRAM] After 21..Qxe4 22.f5 Bd5 23.Bh5! black has to give the queen, though the complications were far from easy. If 22..Bd7 23.Rae1 and 24.f6! the attack is still strong though few of us could have evaluated these positions. |

Feb-26-23 Carlsen vs N Abdusattorov, 2023
| |
| cehertan: In the final position 71.Qh5+ Kc2! when any check is met by an interpolation on the 3rd rank exchanging queens. |

Feb-26-23 Giri vs D Gukesh, 2023 
| |
| cehertan: Some nasty combo there. Makes sense that it was prepared and black had no chance from early on. |

Aug-07-22 R G Wade vs Gligoric, 1952
| |
| cehertan: An epic collapse by RG Wade, probably in a time scramble. After 36.Rf2 he was a good pawn up with better pieces and structure. Just stick the N on f5 and slowly improve the position, and things are grim for black. |

Aug-07-22 Szabo vs Kotov, 1952
| |
| cehertan: But in the game continuation it endorses black. |

Aug-07-22 L Prins vs Pilnik, 1952
| |
| cehertan: 14.e5 is way more thematic than 14.exd5, for a reason. |

Aug-07-22 Szabo vs Barcza, 1952
| |
| cehertan: Black could avoid the fork with 44..f1=N, LOL. |
