Nov-23-20 E Mulder vs F Parr, 1939    mjmorri: 13. Nd4, allowing the Black Knight to remain on e5, seems to be the start of White's troubles. Black's minor pieces quickly occupy better squares than their White counterparts.      Nov-23-20 Serper vs Barsov, 1988    mjmorri: The White King's bravery beginning at move 11 is commendable.      Oct-13-20 Tal vs A Chihu Amparan, 1988   mjmorri: I know Black got blown out, but who would not like the chance to play someone like Tal in a real tournament game.      Aug-04-20 M K A Russell vs M Perez Candelario, 2002    mjmorri: Not a huge Zep fan, but the pun jumped right out at me. Chesswise, I have always had difficulty playing the hedgehog formation with the black pieces. After achieving the desired formation, I seem to reach a middlegame Zugzwang where any move I make causes my position to collapse.      Jul-14-20 A Summerscale vs S Ernst, 1996    mjmorri: Interesting to see a quick kingside attack by Black in the Benko Gambit.      Jun-22-20 J Baer vs Lasker, 1913    mjmorri: Trying to explain Yogi Bear's catch phrases to non-Americans is a whole lot easier than trying to explain Yogi Berra's catch phrases (“yogi-isms”) to non-Americans. "When you come to a fork in the road.... take it." "You can observe a lot by just watching." "It ain't over till it's      Mar-18-20 I Nepomniachtchi vs Grischuk, 2020    mjmorri: White's isolated pawns seem vulnerable. Perhaps Black can work up some play against them.      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.
