| |
| jrbleau: A complicated game. I ran it through Houdini for a book I'm writing and the program would change its "mind" after analyzing billions of nodes. The game was quite well played, if we trust Houdini's multi-billion node evaluations. |

Apr-19-14 Macieja vs H Kallio, 1999
| |
| jrbleau: Got the first three moves, plus the computer's co-favourite 24 Qd4 Nc3, though I didn't examine 24 Rd2. The computer says that it's equal after these continuations. It also says that 20...Re2 is the only move to save the game for Black. |

| jrbleau: This Kolb character was an awful player. |

Mar-05-14 A Mallahi vs A Al-Bahadly, 2001
| |
| jrbleau: 32.e6 Qb5 and the win isn't straightforward.
32.Nh5+ gxh5 33.Qxh6+ Kg8 34.e6 Bxe6 35.Rxe6 seems forced and W is threatening RxN and then Bxd5. |

| jrbleau: Owen is a poet, the others are just sloppy. |

Nov-21-13 L Alster vs Smejkal, 1963
| |
| jrbleau: Not too tough. Got sidetracked trying to achieve a knight-fork from g5, but then went with the massive material compensation and running pawn starting with Qxd7. |

Nov-10-13 Anand vs Carlsen, 2013
| |
| jrbleau: I don't see how the five fifths scoring system would change a thing. It doesn't add any incentive to trying to win with the black pieces: you get 2/5 of a point more winning with either color than for drawing with the same color, and 2/5 more for drawing with either color than for ... |

Oct-31-13 W Tabakiernik vs Keene, 1963
| |
| jrbleau: I don't think you have to see "everything" after 16 Bg5 - you only need to calculate to advantage. After 16...Bf1 17 Rf1, the f6N is doomed and W winds up with two pieces for the R. |
