Dec-27-21 Lachex vs J Nogueiras, 1990
| |
| dhotts: Computers of today would not have missed the immediate path to destruction with 6.Bxf7!...6.Ng5 was OK, but not the best. |

Dec-16-21 G Niemand vs P Keffler, 1970
| |
| dhotts: Great game as most Traxler games are...Keffler played another excellent correspondence game the year before, which he won in 18 moves. Surprising for such short games in correspondence chess? |

Sep-13-21 Carlsen vs Firouzja, 2021
| |
| dhotts: Magnus, the Mozart of Chess, demonstrates again how to win drawn positions...As this game was unfolding and Magnus pushed his pawn 10.a5, I was wondering if there was a strategic reason for this move...As the game progressed some commentators were complaining how Magnus plays out ... |

Aug-11-21 Westerinen vs Suetin, 1976
| |
| dhotts: Black had much more play had he chosen 19...fxg3! with definite draw or better chances...For example 20. dxc5 fxg2+ 21. Qxg2 d4 22.Ne4 Bxe4 23.Rexe4 Ng5 24. Qxd4 Nxf3+ with an equal for Black. |
