Oct-14-15 B Skutta vs J L Watson, 2015

kleuthold: 8 Qa4 is normal. In fact, it's the most commonly played move. White was doing fine until 14. a3??, which just hangs his most important pawn. |

Mar-02-11 H Reinle vs NN, 1936 
|
kleuthold: If 10...Kxd6 then 11. Nxe6 and black cannot recapture without losing the queen. Black could have resigned after the blunder on move 6. |

kleuthold: This is a fascinating sacrifice. I've been analyzing it with an engine for half an hour. I keep thinking I've found a way out for black, but every time white wins. |

Mar-01-08 H Carlsen vs R Vik-Hansen, 2007
|
kleuthold: Black resigned too soon. There was a way out of losing a piece: 18...Bxd6 19.Rd3 exf4 20.Bf2 f3 21.Bxf3 Bxh2+ Kg2 22.Be6 or 20.Rxd6 Bxa4 21.Qxa4 Qxd6

|
kleuthold: Black was winning until 26... e4? Developing the bishop just about anywhere would have been better. |
