Oct-04-18 Batumi Olympiad (Women) (2018) 
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: The U.S. - Ukraine women's match will feature 6 women from Ukraine! Four playing for Ukraine and 2 Ukrainian ex-pats playing for U.S. |

Feb-26-18 K Zakoscielna vs K Bulski, 2008
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: If white plays P-g7 and Black plays K-h7, then if White captures Bishop and does not promote to Knight, Black can play Q-d1+ and force stalemate. |

Oct-29-17 Ivanchuk vs Wei Yi, 2017
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: Youngsters forgetting that veterans can have a "Fighting King." see " Kasparov vs Petrosian, 1981 " |

Sep-08-17 Ivanchuk vs Duda, 2017
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: Ivanchuk's 15 NxP is a more complicated version of Fischer's similar combination against Spassky in game 8 and Karpov's defeat of Kasparov in game 7 of their world championship match in 1990. Good tactic to remember! |

Jun-04-17 Ivanchuk vs K Piorun, 2017
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: I think Ivanchuk forgot that knights can jump backwards. Karpov forgot this in one of his world championship games with Kasparov. |

Sep-11-16 S P Sethuraman vs A Korobov, 2016
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: Any ideas why White did not play 32. B X R?
The chess engines seem to think that this "obvious" move wins the game for White. |

Sep-04-16 A Volokitin vs Fridman, 2016
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: Tal would have been proud of this game! |
|
|
|
May-17-16 Ponomariov vs M Yilmaz, 2016
| |
| shakh.i.shekh: For you endgame experts. All of the chess engines on chessdom evaluate the final position as very favorable to White. Yet White (apparently) accepted a DRAW. Did White miss a winning continuation or did the chess engines mis-evaluate the position. |
