Sep-23-23 Niemann vs Kramnik, 2023   jerseybob: So with his attempted sui-mate Vlad is proving Hans is a cheater? I smell virtue signaling!      Jul-17-23 Pachman vs Najdorf, 1955   jerseybob: Duncan Suttles might play 6.f3!? followed maybe by Nh3 and white has an interesting-looking game, but Pachman is not to be budged from his "plan".      Jul-17-23 Najdorf vs Spassky, 1962   jerseybob: There's no position that can't be lost, e.g. Spassky-Tal 1958.      Jul-17-23 Spassky vs Tal, 1958   jerseybob: <fiercebadger: video of game starting here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecu... The clock size is amazing, like a TV or toaster oven.      Jun-01-23 R Byrne vs S L Jones, 1962   jerseybob: I trace white's troubles to 12.Re1!?, which when coupled with 14.e4!? amounts to a pawn sac, since recovering the pawn with 14.Nxd4 runs into the messy 14..Bc5. So white kicks the can with 15.Bg5, trusting his superior rating to magically produce a win. But after Jones' incisive ...      Jun-01-23 Lasker vs Reshevsky, 1936   jerseybob: <SVarden: Yes, but not in connection with this games. Instead, it was Reshevsky-Smyslov from the USSR-USA Radio Match from 1945. Apparently Reshevsky ran into a variation of the Slav Defense that was well known to the Soviet players, and so Smyslov didn't have to spend much ...      Jun-01-23 Bacrot vs P Vavrak, 2009   jerseybob: Black's 13th move was probably 13..Qb6      May-14-23 Ivanchuk vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2017   jerseybob: After 18.Ke2 black's in a bad way, but 18..g6 is not an improvement over Euwe's 18..f6 of Fischer-Euwe 1960.      May-09-23 Mendonca vs Niemann, 2023    jerseybob: <Sally Simpson:..14...f6 I could never do that to my DSB as Black. Me and him are friends.> I feel your pain, it's not an easy decision, but your suggested 14..gxh4 and the total destruction of the black k-side looks equally awful. I think when black played h6 he had already      Apr-30-23 Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023   jerseybob: What an excruciating game to play through, in its final phase, bringing back memories of Geller-Fischer, with the exception there was a winner in that one, due largely to Bobby's magic hypnotic powers. Nepo alas has nothing like that to fall back on. I'll ask the obvious dumb ...
