Jun-11-20 Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge (2020) 
Jun-05-20 Daniil Dubov
| |
| dernier loup de T: A little surprised, I have to admit it, by the brilliant final victory of Dubov even against such a strong GM like Nakamura, in Lindores Abbey 2020: Nakamura indeed seemed to be in perfect shape, and VERY well prepared, for this tournament.
Even his victory against Carlsen |

May-31-20 Beliavsky vs Yudasin, 1981
| |
| dernier loup de T: <wrap99>..the main reason is that Black cannot protect the Pa4 and prevent White from grabbing it; for instance if 44...b5? 45.Qc6+ Ka7 46.Ka5 Rd8 47.Qa6+ Kb8 48. Qb6+ Ka8 49.Ka6 Rxd7 50.Qc6+ Kb8 51.Qxd7+-, curtains... |

May-21-20 Igor Ivanov vs Karpov, 1979
| |
| dernier loup de T: I would not like to minimize the performance of Ivanov in this game; but
the way of playing choosed by Karpov here is all but "Karpov-like".
For people speaking french: "tarwelder" published very recently a gorgeous analysis of it, on his youtube channel. |

May-09-20 Yu Yangyi vs J K Duda, 2020
| |
| dernier loup de T: <SirChrislov> about 27...Bxb4: any other move loses too, always by a brilliant attack of White, in all variants; you can check it... |

Mar-25-20 M Vachier-Lagrave vs I Nepomniachtchi, 2020
| |
| dernier loup de T: <belgradegambit>: you love to see the French crushed??? Just a luck it was a Frenchman who crushed this one, or maybe I would be a little angry, ha ha! |

Mar-16-20 Anderssen vs Kolisch, 1861
| |
| dernier loup de T: 21.Nc6!! would have been much better, and even decisive; because the black queen would then have been forced to leave the protection of the Nf6, with a following collapse; let's say 21.Nc6 Qd7 (or Qe8) 22.Bxf6 gxf6 23.Nh5 Bd8 24.Qf3 and the black position is falling apart. |

Mar-01-20 La Bourdonnais vs McDonnell, 1834
| |
| dernier loup de T: <PolishPentium>: after 43.Qd8+ Kc5, 44.QxN would effectively lead to draw after ...44.Qc4+ with a perpetual; however, White seems to have a better option after 43...Kc5: 44.Rh4!, with a dangerous attack.... |

Feb-14-20 A Firouzja vs N Grandelius, 2018
| |
| dernier loup de T: Grandelius got such an advantage for the endgame that he could have won it.
For example, after 92.Nf5+, ...Kg4! 93.Nh6+ Kh5 94.Nf7 Rb2+! 95.Ke1 Rg2!-+......
A little later, after 95.Nd6+, 95..Ke6 96.Rg6 Nf6 still won...
But at move 100, Firouzja secured the draw by making |
