Jul-17-19 Topalov vs Nakamura, 2019
| |
| moodini: I don't think that is a zugwang (more a very dominant position) as black would lose if he didn't have to move. |

| moodini: Has the website got hacked? Either that or somebody intercepted my password (the site does not use https). I got a ridiculous email trying to blackmail me which showed my password for this site (which I don't use anywhere else). |

| |
| moodini: <faulty> I think you are reading far too much into a blitz game here. It must have been a reflex-move-or-lose situation as I'm pretty sure Karjakin would see that his move was bad within a few seconds. If you really believe that this was due to a weakness in his endgame play ... |

Nov-15-17 J Brenninkmeijer vs A Pieniazek, 1987
