| erniecohen: What happened to the GOTD rule that the game move has to be a correct solution? |

Mar-20-25 Capablanca vs C Shauer, 1909 
| |
| erniecohen: If I had one recorded game and it was beating Capablanca (even in a simul), I would probably retire from chess too. |

Mar-15-25 Anand vs Gelfand, 2012
| |
| erniecohen: Note that the Stockfish 9 analysis from chessgames.com misses the win completely. |

Apr-02-22 So vs Nakamura, 2015
| |
| erniecohen: I can't believe I missed this game the first time around. (Svidler just mentioned it while commenting on the Grand Prix final.) Great game combined with one of the better puns in recent memory. |

Mar-18-22 Bogoljubov vs C Ahues, 1930
| |
| erniecohen: <al wazir> Stockfish says it's even after 30. ♖eg1 ♕xg1+ 31. ♖xg1+ ♔xh7 32. exf4 ♖e4 33. f5 ♖xe4+ 34. ♔e2 ♖f4 35. ♖g5. But Black can interpose 29... ♕f3+ to eliminate the pin. |

Feb-20-22 P Lafuente vs Shredder, 2005
| |
| erniecohen: <thegoldenband> MD5 hashes are 128 bits; the chance of hitting a collision in a 128-bit random function really is astronomical. Finding MD5 collisions depends on structural weaknesses in the hash function itself. It's far from trivial; it took mathematicians about 15 years ... |

Feb-12-22 Ganguly vs Kryvoruchko, 2018
| |
| erniecohen: Not exactly a convincing POD. Stockfish seems to think Black has a draw up to move 69. |

Feb-10-22 A Esipenko vs Nakamura, 2022
| |
| erniecohen: I assume the worst part of being a GM is being humiliated by the computer in the postgame interview when the moves you say were good were actually bad and vice versa. |

Jan-23-22 A Istratescu vs M Golubev, 1994
| |
| erniecohen: Perhaps add a stockfish filter to daily puzzles to avoid cooks? |
|

|
Jan-23-22 Tassilo von der Lasa
| |
| erniecohen: Chessmetrics reckons von der Lasa world #1 for 15 months, and in the top 2 for 4 years. |
