Aug-25-22 Rached Barhoumi vs Sasikiran, 2006
| |
| mjmorri: Is this game real? Surely even an 1100 rated player could not play this badly. |

Apr-19-22 L Milov vs D Seyb, 2006
| |
| mjmorri: <Honza Cervenka: 22...Qc4 was a mistake allowing 23.Nf5!!, which is the beginning of white's winning combination. After 22...Qb7 or 22...Bxg5 black is fine.> I wonder if Black saw 23.Nf5 but overlooked 26.Bc1. |

Feb-24-22 A W Fox vs Karper, 1900
| |
| mjmorri: <Granny O Doul: Up until 20. Bb6, this was one of the worst played games in the history of chess.>
My problem is up until that point, I understood the game completely. :-) |

Feb-21-22 Korchnoi vs Gheorghiu, 1986
| |
| mjmorri: As is often the case, Qxb2 proves to be a serious loss of time. |

Feb-09-22 I Bulmaga vs A Stefanova, 2018
| |
| mjmorri: Found Ne6, attacking the Rook, saving the f pawn, and preparing Qh6. Too much for Black to handle. |

Jan-25-22 F Olafsson vs J H Donner, 1961
| |
| mjmorri: A good example of a minority attack targeting the c7 pawn, a theme which can also occur in the QGD Chigorin defense. |

| |
| mjmorri: Probably a local master invited to play in order to give the leading players an extra day off. |

Jan-18-22 E Delmar vs F Roser, 1876
| |
| mjmorri: <GrahamClayton: Maybe Black should have played 15...♖ab8 to contest the open b-file.> Instead, Black plays f5, a5, and g5 allowing the White Rooks to take up their aggressive positions. |

Jan-14-22 Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Championship (2022)
| |
| mjmorri: I played in the 1983 event held in Worcester, Massachusetts, representing Worcester Polytechnic Institute. We fielded two teams. The team I was on scored 4-4, a decent showing for a small school. It was the first tournament I ever played in. |
