May-28-20 Ivanchuk vs Bacrot, 2007
| |
| mike1: yes, all very well indeed . But I already know that I would not necessarily wine that endgame after
1) -0.75 (28 ply) 24.h4 ♕f3 25.♖e1+ ♘xe1 26.♕xf3 ♘h3+ 27.♖xh3 ♘xf3+ 28.♔f2 ♘d2 29.g4 ♔f7 30.♗c3 ♘e4+ 31.♔e2 |

May-03-20 Reti vs Euwe, 1920
| |
| mike1: at 29 Ply SF comes up with a completely different assessment:
1) +4.42 (29 ply) 12.♔f2 ♕b2 13.♗xe7 ♗d4+ 14.♔g3 ♗e5+ 15.♔h4 ♘c6 16.♘xe5 ♘xe5 17.♗b5 ♕d4+ 18.♕xd4 cxd4 19.♗d6 b6 20.♘c7+ ♔d8 ... |

Apr-23-20 G Oparin vs M Kobalia, 2018
| |
| mike1: Followed Walter Glattke's lines above, but found out (too late) that black can play 37.f6 instead of taking f4 and it is not as smooth as it looks |

Mar-26-20 World Championship Candidates (2020/21)
| |
| mike1: Radjabov is one theme; getting home for some of the players is another.
But I think that it is not a good thing the the " second" half of a highly " unusual" tournament can be played in ....lets say: November 2020(??!!!?) and start from the current standings. |

Feb-20-20 T Wedberg vs Korchnoi, 1988
| |
| mike1: best defence is not taking the knight.
28...a3 29. b3 Rxd4 30. Rxd4 exf5 is a hard nut to crack. 31. Rxd5 Bc6 is nearly even according to SF |

Jan-21-20 Firouzja vs Carlsen, 2020
| |
| mike1: you have to take your hat off for Firo not trying to get an easy draw against the Berlin (4.d3). Everything else as said above; but yes, never underestimate a WC |
