May-23-22 Euwe vs G Welling, 1976

| samvega: Ah, I somewhat fell into the trap of looking at the result and guessing Qxb7 was where white started to go wrong. Thank you for your more detailed analysis. |

Oct-31-21 A Kevitz vs Fine, 1932
| |
| samvega: The suggested 38..Re5 is a cool move, but white has the cushion shot Qd8+ followed by Qf6. But there's still a game to be played from that point, so I guess the annotator was half right. |

Aug-05-21 Tan Zhongyi vs A Muzychuk, 2021
| |
| samvega: It's not indexed yet, so it can't be located via the similar games feature or the opening explorer, but there is a recent Shankland - Dubov game in the database. From googling, it looks like it really is a third move novelty! I see Daniel King posted a video about it on ... |

Jul-19-21 I Ivanisevic vs R Tleptsok, 2015
| |
| samvega: Oh, I see now from looking at more games that allowing black's LSB to capture a rook posted on d5 must be thematic to this variation. |

Jul-18-21 N Zhukova vs E Kovalevskaya, 2000
| |
| samvega: Interesting combination at move 16, white to play: [DIAGRAM] White forestalls Bh6, threatens to weaken Black's kingside by taking on g7, and if piece is accepted, wins it back a pawn the better in all variations (as far as I can tell, playing around with the engine). |

Jul-05-21 Lagno vs D Howell, 2002
| |
| samvega: Somebody else must have gone for the silly 41. Nxf5 Nxf5 42. Rxf5 Qxf5 (which does work), because when I checked the engine the result popped up instantly, which means (I think) that the analysis had been run before. |

| samvega: 14. cd right away seems to make way more sense. |

Apr-23-21 Tim Kras vs O Shapiro, 1992

| samvega: This strikes me as tactically inventive on both sides, whatever the mutual errors. |

Apr-22-21 V Akobian vs T Taylor, 2003
| |
| samvega: It's above skill level to judge whether the looming sac on g3 after 28..Nf5 is lethal or just scary-looking, or whether the preemptive, simplifying exchange sac 29.Rxe8+ gives adequate compensation. It does, however, seem like 28.Ne5 would have been a more straightforward way to ... |
