Feb-08-08 Tseshkovsky vs Bukic, 1981

| kewmschess: Analyzed by Kasparov in "Revolution in the 1970s," game #33, page 85. 9...b5 was a novelty in this game, seeking immediate queenside counterplay. |

Oct-05-06 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006 
| |
| kewmschess: Susan Polgar: The big debate on all servers is which side is better. GM Boris Avrukh said: "Zagrebelnyi is commenting on 64.ru writes: I am sure he is Topalov is playing for a win here , I think he is wrong, I would prefer White here." Karjakin likes White. Radjabov likes Black. ... |

Sep-28-06 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006
| |
| kewmschess: Eight games left, but only four Whites for Topalov. Since Kramnik can probably draw at will with the White pieces, Topalov is already in a very tough situation. He must at least draw with Black -- if he loses another game it's probably over -- and must win at least one of his ... |

kewmschess: I didn't let it run for long, but Fritz (v8) thinks Black's best is 33...Rf8 and didn't even look at 33...Qb8. White wins by piling up on the 7th:
33. a3 f8 34. ♕d7 ♘e2 35. ♕e7 a5 36. ♖d7 ♕e4+  |

Apr-13-06 XINIX vs Tao, 2001
| |
| kewmschess: 3...d5 is the kind of move a French Defense player would make, getting an Exchange French-style position with an extra tempo. 3...Nc6 or 3...d6 feels more Sicilian-like, heading in Sozin/Schevenigen directions. But whether you call it a French or a Sicilian, it seems to me all of |
