Oct-09-19 F Vallejo Pons vs N Huschenbeth, 2010    dhotts: <Patzer2> it took a GM to bring the win home 78 moves later...If a GM truly is a piece up (+3) then it should happen much sooner. I tend to agree with you, the silicon evaluation is heavy handed in assessing the Black Queen's mobility.      Oct-07-19 V Keymer vs S P Rahul, 2019   dhotts: Very patient play by Keymer, when will Vincent reach GM?      Oct-04-19 R Loetscher vs M Bluebaum, 2016    dhotts: My first choice was 28...Bxg2 to clean up the mess (reduce complexity) in the ensuing phase 29.Qxg2 Rg6 30.Qf1 then play 30...e5 with much greater effect!      Oct-03-19 Radjabov vs Ding Liren, 2019    dhotts: Very interesting how Teimour 16th move in the first game 16.Nd2 leads to a draw and in the second game as white 16.Bd3 leads to win...The engines did not see a big difference, but it was amazing how quickly white won from that point.      Jul-18-19 Alatortsev vs G Goldberg, 1932    dhotts: White missed the more convincing line of 29. Bc8! which wins more easily.      Jul-10-19 Kholmov vs Bronstein, 1965    dhotts: It appears that Black's 19...Bg5 move lead to his demise. Much better and more challenging for White was 19...Nxe5, then White must find 20.Ne4 to maintain a slight advantage or be destroyed.      Jul-09-19 AlphaZero vs Stockfish, 2018    dhotts: It appears that Stockfish missed 37...f6 playing instead 37...Rd8 which ultimately lead to SF's demise....Very equal game until that missed move to maintain equality.      Jun-25-19 Miles vs C W Pritchett, 1982    dhotts: Black committed suicide with 33...Kh8, where the move 33...Kh7 was even....Pritchett missed it, Miles did not!      Jun-20-19 Leko vs E Ghaem Maghami, 2001    dhotts: 22....Bc3 may have saved Black, certainly better than 22...Rg8? It seems that 22...Bc3 23.Nxc3 Rg8 24.Ne4 Rxg7 and black has fighting chances.      Mar-23-19 N Grandelius vs V Keymer, 2019    dhotts: Crushing defeat so quick and effortless, what did Keymer do wrong in the opening?
