Sep-14-11 Akobian vs The World, 2011    melv: 10.Re8      May-08-09 F Handke vs H H Hernandez, 2003    melv: Can't figure out what black was thinking with 22.c5. It appears white has several ways to win after this move.Rxe6 or simply Bb5.      Oct-28-08 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966    melv: Why not 25.Kf8 Instead of Rf7?      Oct-22-08 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937    melv: A move like that reminds me of "bluffing" in poker.In poker your opponent doesn't know what cards you are holding.

This would go a long way in explaining Bobby Fischer's performance, behavior, and early demise.      Sep-20-08 G Garcia Gonzalez vs Quinteros, 1982    melv: The irony is that black has four passed pawns and still he loses.      Sep-19-08 E Eliskases vs L Laurine, 1935    melv: I could see up to 24.Rxb8, and figured that was an even exchange.
