Jan-18-20 Lasker vs Steinitz, 1895 
| |
| sakredkow: After 17...Ng8, Black's standing room only 8th rank is striking. "Black has now completed his strategic movement towards the rear. If this is good strategy, then the modern theory of development must be all wrong," sez Gunsberg |

Jan-08-20 Capablanca vs Milner-Barry, 1935
| |
| sakredkow: <If we think of the last world chess champion to have a moustache (and I mean customarily and not as a three-day binge-drinking party trick, and yes, I am referring to you, Mr AA), I suppose it would have to be Lasker.> Carlsen continues to break records. |

Dec-30-19 Korchnoi vs H Bohm, 1977
| |
| sakredkow: Korchnoi offers a rook three different times on three different squares - and offers his queen to boot. Bohm can't do it. Fun to watch Korchnoi play cat and mouse. |

| |

Nov-14-19 Reti vs Rubinstein, 1928

Nov-10-19 E Ovod vs N Pogonina, 2008
| |
| sakredkow: I love the smell of the Tartakower Defense in the morning. I think I first heard of it from the Karpov-Korchnoi WCC match and I still play it at the club from time to time.
9. Bg3 is a little less usual than 9. Nxd5 or 9. Bxe7. |

Oct-28-19 Yermolinsky vs E Tate, 2001
| |
| sakredkow: A simple twist of Tate. (somebody may have already claimed this...five pages is a lot to scroll through for a nine-move game). |

Oct-09-19 Caruana vs McShane, 2012
| |
| sakredkow: It's awful to see Black get such an annoyingly playable game with an opening like this. |

|
Oct-08-19 P H Nielsen vs R Berzinsh, 2011
| |
| sakredkow: White seizes control of the c-file with his two rooks and then first throws one knight in for support and then a second. Black collapses. |
