| hyperactivemodernist: Nice to see Vaganian featured today! I've enjoyed his games very much. Like others of the Armenian school, he's a positional master with a fascinating and original style. I really wish someone would publish an annotated collection! |

Sep-15-14 Rashid Nezhmetdinov
| |
| hyperactivemodernist: When I play through Nezhmetdinov's best games, I feel the same joy as when I listen to one of Bach's fugues or one of Charlie Parker's solos. Such moments truly make life worth living. |

Nov-07-13 Larsen vs Petrosian, 1966
| |
| hyperactivemodernist: Masterful play from Petrosian. He could afford to go down in material with the exchange sacrifice because of his expert pawn play. He leaves no weaknesses for Larsen to attack with his rooks. |

Mar-12-13 Staunton vs Horwitz, 1851
| |
| hyperactivemodernist: Amazingly modern game. Staunton seemed to have an understanding of positional chess on a level that wasn't commonplace until the 20th century. |
