Mar-18-22 Kasparov - Short PCA World Championship Match (1993)

Feb-01-20 Adams vs M Antipov, 2020
| |
| keithbc: Why do commentators always talk about 'compensation' when pieces are lost (different if it's a sacrifice of course). Why should there be ANY compensation for lost material. I'ts a habit commentators fall into I think |
