Nov-04-19 Korchnoi vs P Leito, 2010 
|
hesyrett: An amusing miniature! By move 7 Black's position is already compromised, but 7...Nf6 is suicidal. Zloi slays! |

Dec-12-18 E Doluhanova vs B Gledura, 2018
|
hesyrett: With 3 pawns for a rook, Black might have some drawing chances after 35...Qxg2+ 36 Rxg2 Rxg2 37 Kxg2 c5. |

Oct-05-18 E Paoli vs O'Kelly, 1961
|
hesyrett: 8. h3 improves White's chances of establishing a bind. |

Aug-28-18 B Goulding Brown vs Brett Thompson, 1953
|
hesyrett: 7...Qf6 is a blunder. 7...Qh4+ 8.g3 Bf2+! 9.Kxf2 Qf3+ winning the e5 N looks MUCH better for Black. |

May-23-18 Bronstein vs H Hunt, 1994 
|
hesyrett: Earlier, Black can try 13...Qxc2+ 14. Ke3
Rf8 15. Bd3 Qc5+ 16. Kf3 Nd7 17. Re1 Qd5+ 18. Be4 Qxe5 19. Bh6 (what else?) which seems to give Black a winning advantage. |

May-18-18 Yifan Hou vs Navara, 2016 
|
hesyrett: talwnbe4: After 25...h5 26. Qh3 Nf6 White should play for mate via 27. exd6; Black Q is tied to the defense of the R at c8. Here's a sample line: 25...h5 26. Qh3 Nf6 27. exd6 Ne4 28. Be1 Nxd6 29. Bh4 Qc7 30. Bf6+ Kg8 31. Qg3+ 1-0 |

Apr-04-18 vs ,
|
hesyrett: There's something wrong here. First of all, 8...Qxe5+ gives Black a nice 2-pawn advantage and might even trade Queens. Later, 11...Qxe5+ wins the house. |

Oct-16-17 Euwe vs K M Bergsma, 1925
|
hesyrett: 11...Nce5 is a blunder. With 11...dxc3 Black gets a Rook and several pawns for two minor pieces, while practically forcing White into an unfavorable endgame. |

|
Oct-02-17 L Dominguez vs M Heidenfeld, 2000
|
hesyrett: White is not winning a piece here, but Black's only way to avoid losing his QB is to trade Q's with 15...Qb4+ etc. After that, White's QRP is lost, but his KRP will cost Black at least a piece. So resignation was not premature. |

Jul-27-17 Carlsen vs J Smeets, 2005
|
hesyrett: This is a very strange Carlsen game. The stem game, Najdorf-Portisch 1962, saw 12...Ke7 rather than 12...Kf8, but here Carlsen plays the crazy 13 cxb4 instead of just castling the way Najdorf did. Why? Was this a blitz game? |
