ndg2: Gukesh in fighting spirit also against Erigaisi in round 7. He was clearly worse at some point but was again able to turn around the game. |

May-21-25 Vlastimil Hort 
|
ndg2: Hort / Jansa "The Best Move" remains one of the best chess books I've ever read. It's not your typical tactics / opening / middle game / end game book, but everything rolled into one. It demands and develops creative and independent thought. |

May-21-25 German Championship (2025) 
|
ndg2: ^Yes!
And it's also the first time in a long time that the 'Deutsche Meisterschaften' (German Championships) actually deserve their name (that is, to determine the actually best German players as national champions). It used to be a second-tier tournament with a lot of amateur ... |

Apr-04-25 Negi vs S Erenburg, 2005 
|
ndg2: Difficult, but not bc of the knight sac, which is the only real chance for a win. Instead, you have to _know_, that the resulting queen vs h2-pawn endgame isn't a draw (it normally is) due to the position of the white king. |
