Sep-26-13 Tal vs Golombek, 1958 
|
shakespeare: at move 26 Golombek was slightly better but had no feeling for the danger to come - a critical point to switch to the "defensive mode" Rh7 and Nd5 no matter in which order and the king is safe |

Jul-26-13 Adams vs D Lemos, 2010

shakespeare: Games like this are teh reason why I never play french as black and the reason why I like it if black plays this opening - perfectly played black is in a permanent squeeze without much counterplay |

Jul-15-13 Tal vs H Hecht, 1962 
|
shakespeare: Incredible calculation ability by Tal.
At the end of all the fireworks he had an endgame with a superior k-side majotity - at least he thought so - 35....f5! 36.h3 h5! destroying Tals perspectives once and forever and Hecht would have had an easy draw. |

Mar-30-13 Andersson vs M Basman, 1975

shakespeare: 45.Qxc5 is an outright blunder - why not take a passed pawn if your opponent deliberately gives you one? |
