Nov-25-19 Grand Prix Hamburg (2019)    mjmorri: It might sound quaint, but I would prefer returning to a three year cycle. I am not talking about the old Zonal, Inter-zonal, Candidates progression, but three years would give more time for organizing proper qualification events around set dates that everyone could plan around. I ...      Nov-18-19 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1990    mjmorri: At the time this game was played, some people were suspicious and thought it might have been prearranged.      Oct-29-19 A Strikovic vs Suba, 1994    mjmorri: Everybody loves to see a knight posted on the third or sixth rank...for different reasons, of course.      Oct-15-19 Art Zhao vs D A Yeager, 2011    mjmorri: The game quality is not great, but it does illustrate the danger of letting one's guard down. Queens and opposite colored Bishops can be difficult to play. Not nearly at the level as Spassky-Fischer Game 3, but in both cases the wrong colored Bishop proved nearly worthless when the ...      Jul-09-19 M Rivas Pastor vs Huebner, 1985    mjmorri: It looks like White was holding his own until he started to drift with 36.Re7 and then ran off the rails with 37.g5. Time pressure perhaps, or just the strain of having to fight against a superior opponent.      Jun-25-19 Miles vs C W Pritchett, 1982    mjmorri: Multiple interference themes. Very pretty.      Feb-13-19 Granda Zuniga vs J A Rubinetti, 1987    mjmorri: There does not appear to be a knockout blow, just a significant advantage.      Jan-31-19 L Gonda vs C Paci, 2001    mjmorri: This ending is surprisingly difficult to hold especially for an amateur. I have had mixed results from the weaker side. Never played the stronger side.      Jan-29-19 Bagirov vs Kholmov, 1961    mjmorri: This illustrates the danger in trying to simplify the position without carefully analyzing all possibilities.      Nov-26-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018    mjmorri: King safety apparently not in White's plans.
