Sep-11-08 Karpov vs Nedelin, 1961 
|
permutation: The aspect of this game that I enjoy most is watching black's Qside pawns
advance to so little effect. They're neutralized by a greater positional understanding that is happy to let them be, until the exchange is advantageous, which is what opens the files for the rooks' sortie. |

Sep-08-08 Jansa vs Smejkal, 1969 
|
permutation: An enjoyable jaunt over the black and white squares, with minimum grey areas.
Maybe it's the size of the grey areas that determines the difficulty?
PS. Is there a variant of chess where both sides have to carry on after one king is lost?
This would be truer to life, no?

Sep-02-08 S Williams vs M Hebden, 2006 
|
permutation: 39rxg8 rxg8
40Qxh7 Kxh7
41r-g7+ Kxg7
is not good for white. |

Aug-23-08 J Manion vs V Akopian, 1994 
|
permutation: In the invitation for premium membership it says 'be treated like a king'.
But kings have a hard time in chess.
This is not much of an incentive.
I think I'd rather be treated like a pawn on the eighth rank and be promoted. That way I get more choice and not pushed around ... |

Aug-06-08 Botvinnik vs P Sharov, 1929 
|
permutation: 27Nh5 also threatens mate but is not so forcing, as white has the resource of (after g6 or g5)...28Qe5 f6 and white still has work to do. 27Ne8 is the key move, then.
ps it's 12.30pm here and it's too late
to be clever. |
