shoshonte: i can't figure this out! I've tried everything. I know that biga are not valid but i can't figure out how to find a game using those letters or the name of the chart or anything. |

Dec-21-14 Van Wely vs Kramnik, 1998 
|
shoshonte: On the opening of this game, it seems like 16. Kh1 was a mistake. Better was 16.Kf1 avoiding the eventual Qh2 with check. If 15...Qc7 instead of Bxh2, 16. Be2 seems to hold for white as in the game Goganov-Bajarani 2011 |

Dec-21-14 So vs A Baryshpolets, 2013
|
shoshonte: White is winning after 65. Rxa2. it'll be hard to win against perfect defense but Baryshpolets just commits suicide on move 65 with Ra6?? I think from an opening standpoint 17. Be2 planning Bf3 after c5 is an improvement. |

Dec-21-14 Reshevsky vs Fine, 1937
|
shoshonte: Fine missed the move 17...Bxh3 winning a pawn although after 18. Ne2 Qg4 19. Ng3 Nxd5 20. Qxb7 black's only slightly better. See Valeinis - Sakai 2004 |

Dec-21-14 Geller vs Taimanov, 1952 
|
shoshonte: 69.Ra7 is a really good move. Most people would promote and miss 69...Rg2 winning the newly born queen or if Kxg2 it's stalemate. High class right there |
