Nov-22-19 Grischuk vs J K Duda, 2019
| |
| drleper: Would have been nice to see 45.Rxd3+ cxd3+ 46.Kxd3, and black is totally busted:
[DIAGRAM] The bishop watches the b pawn, and the king can wind towards the h file for the wing pawn. Nothing much for black to do. |

Nov-25-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018 
| |
| drleper: <The reason I think was psychological. Tal knew it was preparation. He feared though that if he played the expected move he would be "cooperating" with Larsen (his Nd7 is just playable and typically dubious move by Larsen). In any case he refused the opportunity to be ... |

| drleper: <lost in space> It's not quite mate there, black has a couple of useless delaying moves -> 42.e7+ Rd5 43.Bxd5+ Qf7 44. e8=R# |

May-14-18 G Norman vs Alekhine, 1926

| drleper: The game score cannot be correct, 15... e5 16.Nfd4?? makes no sense, and later on white misses the obvious 23.c5+. 15... g4 must be it. |
