Dec-29-24 Praggnanandhaa vs V Murzin, 2024 
| |
| et voila: In the endgame, as if black was playing with an extra piece, and a powerful one at that, one that surely secured the one. White revived Black's dead black squared bishop and shot himself in the back rank and resigned. |

| |
| et voila: The knight on e4 was a dagger in Aronian's heart until it was eventually removed by a rook. Aronian tried to mix things up at the end but it was too late Nepo was more than a match for him and mate was in the horizon. |

Sep-11-22 Niemann vs Caruana, 2022
| |
| et voila: Cold accurate play to the end by Caruana. I wonder why? everyone seems to take it all out on Hans for beating the ex world champion, perhaps to prove that his win was a one-of fluke and not a transformation in his level of performance . |
