Nov-22-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018    psmith: Carlsen never had a winning position.      Dec-07-17 Hort vs P G Heilemann, 1987    psmith: <patzer2> I think you mean 37. Bc6, instead of 37. Qh5 -- not 38. Bc6, which allows Nxh5. right?      Nov-04-17 Carlsen vs Li Chao, 2015    psmith: Oh, I see <agb2002> beat me to it. :)      Jun-21-17 M Pantzar vs T Rodshtein, 2016    psmith: <gofer> 22... Be6 looks like a better try in that line: 23. Bxd7 Rb8 24. Qxe3 dxe3 25. Bxf6 Rxb7 26. Bg5. Still better for White, but better pawn structure for Black and opposite colored Bishops.      Mar-15-17 M Velcheva vs H Puuska, 2007    psmith: Strange chess blindness -- I saw the combination but thought Black could play 27... Qb4.      Feb-20-17 D Maghalashvili vs A G Aleksandrov, 2010   psmith: <ReikiMaster> 35. Nf5+ Kf7 36. Nd6 Ke6 and what then? (not 37. Kg4 b4! winnning for Black... but otherwise Black can just play Bd7-c6-d7-c6... for the draw).      Feb-06-17 Olland vs J Esser, 1901    psmith: <Bubo bubo> 22... Qb4 23. Re7 d3! 24. Bxd3 Qxf4 wins for Black.      Jan-01-17 R Praggnanandhaa vs Slaven Pastar, 2014    psmith: 12...0-0 returning the material gives Black decent chances.      Dec-31-16 I Nepomniachtchi vs A A Kharitonov, 2009    psmith: <JimfromProvidence> 24... f6 25. Nxh7 Kxh7 26. Nxg6 looks good for White.      Dec-04-16 P K Wells vs Y Habu, 2005    psmith: <JimfromProvidence> Stockfish thinks Black is up by about a full piece after 21. Qb5 Qg1+ 22. Bf1 Qxh1. White just doesn't have any good moves and his King is still exposed.
