Apr-17-25 P K Wells vs Shirov, 2006   phaeax: I met LMAJ in person and found him to be as annoying face-to-face as he is online. Playing top board in the final round of the Louisiana State Championship, I was happy with what I had achieved to reach the top board in the final game. Playing IM Mark Diesen, I knew I would probably ...      Mar-08-25 Niemann vs Y Remizov, 2025   phaeax: Don't miss the beauty at the end! If 37...Qxf2 (rather than ...Ra4 abandoning the back rank), then 38. Qh6+!! Ke7 39. Nxc6+ bxc6 40. Qg7+!! with two conclusions. 40...Kd8 41. Qd7# or 40...Kd6 42. Ne4+ winning the Q. Simple, but beautiful.      Jul-15-24 Tata Steel Group A (2011)   phaeax: Wins against Grischuk, MVL and Nepo are victories against some of the best players currently. Naka played like a god to win this tournament. Tail-enders? Maybe in this tournament, but today three of the best in the world.      May-12-23 Rubinstein vs Colle, 1929   phaeax: Thanks for pointing out the change in move order. Of course, he played 17 Rxc4 to keep g2 guarded. Then 17...O-O-O and 18. Rc3 makes sense. If he had played 17 Bxc4, O-O-O, he would play 18 Bxf7, winning a pawn. You made my day and solved my puzzle. Thanks
