Apr-29-12 Brunello vs Caruana, 2012    puzzlepatzer: What an aesthetic final position! I'm guessing that's why Brunello waited so long to resign.      Dec-04-11 Short vs Kramnik, 2011    puzzlepatzer: <How does one lose a Rubinstein Four Knights game? I guess the answer is: ask Nigel Short! People play this variation when they want a quick draw. A GM actually losing a Rubinstein Four Knights is mind-boggling.> Actually it can get quite sharp with 5. Bc4. Here's a few ...      Aug-27-11 D Charochkina vs B Kovanova, 2011    puzzlepatzer: it's amazing how useless black's queen is against the two bishops and rook. very cool ending.      Aug-15-11 B Morchiashvili vs F Vallejo Pons, 2011   puzzlepatzer: very nice finishing tactic. the queen on f3 is in a dominate position. she prevents white's king from entering the battle and white has no constructive plan.      Aug-14-11 Einstein vs Oppenheimer, 1933    puzzlepatzer: https://sites.google.com/site/carol... here is a short bio of einstein. scroll down a little and you will see he was good friends with emanual lasker (remember dr. lasker was also a philosopher.). this game may or may not have been played by einstein but it is possible that he ...      Jul-31-11 N Pert vs G Salimbeni, 2011   puzzlepatzer: Very nice endgame. White's space advantage prevents black's bishop from influencing the queenside. At the same time white's pawns and bishop stop black's play on the kingside.      Jul-29-11 D Eggleston vs Short, 2011    puzzlepatzer: this is a great example of attacking with oppo bishops + queens.      Jul-24-11 Vladimir Kramnik    puzzlepatzer: The summer heat must have gotten to kramnik. His play at Dortmund was fantastic! what was the last tournament Kramnik won two games with black... if ever?      Jul-24-11 C Li vs R Mamedov, 2011   puzzlepatzer: Black to play on move 33 would be a nice puzzle.      Jul-24-11 Sutovsky vs Radjabov, 2011   puzzlepatzer: if 19.Rxd7 blacks responds with Ne5 20.Qe2 Qd8 21.Rxe5 Bxe5 22.Qxe5 Re6 23.Qf4 Re1+ and black is up an exchange.
