Jan-17-22 Bisguier vs Petrosian, 1954
| |
| pikket: According to Petrosian's Python Strategy, the idea of Qd8 is to get d-file pressure after 24. f5 ...Ne5! Then if Bxe5 ...dxe5 and the d2 Knight is pinned. Black will get in ...Qd4 with a strong pos. If White doesn't capture on e5, Black's two central Knights give him solid ... |

Jun-16-20 Svidler vs V Malakhov, 1997
| |
| pikket: 58. Kxa6 seems to win also. I assume time pressure was a factor. I think these may have been rapid playoffs since first two games between the players were split. But that's speculation. |

Jan-28-09 Kamsky vs Aronian, 2009
