Apr-08-10 Kasparov vs P Nikolic, 1994

| fischerstein: Took about 10 seconds to see Rhg1 and black's done for. Kasparov must have had a terrible hangover :)) |

Feb-25-10 R G Hegde vs Palatnik, 1988
| |
| fischerstein: I also thought it was a draw a first sight. However, it seems that if white can waste a move it can win. 59... Bg7, 60.Rh1 followed by Rc1 for example. The bishop must block the c file to prevent mate on c8, so the only move black has is Bc3. After Rc2(wasting a move), black is |

Oct-22-09 Alekhine vs Rubinstein, 1912
| |
| fischerstein: What the heck?? 13Qe1?? 14Nh2?? Alekhine MUST have been drunk, those are beginner level blunders. also, the way he practically ignores black's attack later on is extremely unlike a sober Alekhine. Or, maybe he just didn't give a F$#k about this game. |

Feb-04-09 Klovans vs O A Kalinin, 1986
| |
| fischerstein: What's wrong with 24...BxF3? If G2xF3, then QxF3+, Kg2(only move) - Nh3# mate! If white doesn't take the Bishop, black won't mate just as fast but will be up a rook in few moves. |

Sep-10-08 Petrosian vs A Matanovic, 1959
| |
| fischerstein: What's wrong with 22.b5 followed by Rxd7 with tempo and a hanging knight for black? |

Aug-21-08 Lutikov vs Tal, 1965
| |
| fischerstein: This was an easy one. bxe7 is obvious, never looked for anything else. I'm surprised that Tal got into this mess, however.. |
