May-16-05 Ponomariov vs Topalov, 2005 
|
necrosis: this game is mental! i have so many questions about it- why not 13...Qxd4 instead of Nxd4? then, why not 15.Kh1 Nxc1 16.Qxc1 etc... ?? and then why not 17...Bxf1 ??? black would have been up a pawn instead of down an exchange surely?! |

Apr-18-05 Seirawan vs Z Kozul, 1991 
|
necrosis: I think the main problem for black in the final position is that his bishop is lost - white threatens Bb6+ followed by Rc7+, and he still maintains protection over the b pawn after taking the bishop on a7. |

Mar-14-05 J Lansing vs R A Hart, 1907 
|
necrosis: I think 10...g4 would be bad for black. 11.Bxf7+ Kxf7 12.Rxf7+ Ke8 13.Qxg4 protects h4, and if instead 11...Ke7 or Nf6 then the d8-h4 diaganol is blocked. |

Dec-27-04 K Richter vs Gruenfeld, 1928 
|
necrosis: I don't understand why Gruenfield took the bishop sac... surely something like 30....e6 is better? On the other hand, perhaps white would have been more decisive if he played 30.Rxg6, as far as I can tell mate is pretty close after that. |

Aug-21-04 Anand vs Dreev, 1991 
|
necrosis: 31.Rc3 is such a good move, allowing the queen and knight access to the third rank. |

Aug-20-04 Anand vs P H Nielsen, 2003 
|
necrosis: greystar, i think 30...Rf4 prevents your line, but the main line still stands after this move. not really looked at it closely though. just out of interest- what is the time control in a rapid match? |

May-16-04 K Kachiani-Gersinska vs Nunn, 1994 
|
necrosis: actually on closer inspection 30...Nc5 31.Bxe8 Ne4 32.Kg1 Nxg3 loses to 33.Rh2 and 32...Nxf2 looks like it would lose to 33.Qxf2 Rxf2 34.Kxf2, queen vs 2 rooks and a bishop? oh well. |
