Nov-24-17 P Poutiainen vs E Hintikka, 1976
| |
| sisyphus: 21...Nxe6 is a blunder. 22.Bb6 traps the queen, though Poutiainen missed it. |
|
|
|
Nov-22-17 Tukmakov vs A Ornstein, 1976
| |
| sisyphus: 14...Nd7 was a bad idea. The light-squared bishop is trapped, and Tukmakov pounces on it. |
|
|
|
Dec-15-16 Z Fiskus vs P Ascic, 2007
| |
| sisyphus: Wish I had seen this before I played last week. I went 8...a6 and barely held a draw. My home analysis - which I'd forgotten - says 7...O-O is preferable. But that's only for the brave. |

|
Oct-03-16 B Jackson vs J Berry, 2011
| |
| sisyphus: When I see Nxc6 played too early I figure White is panicking. |
|
|
|
Sep-13-16 Baku Olympiad (2016) 
| |
| sisyphus: <offramp: Officially England were 9th but I prefer to think of them as being equal 4th. They had the same points as 4th place.> Tiebreaks aren't useful for any purpose but determining medals. England was equal fourth, period. |
|
|
|
Sep-28-15 R Vasquez Ramirez vs N Meira, 1996
| |
| sisyphus: 3...b6 is a losing move. Ecuadorian WIM Rocio Vasquez punished it quickly when she was 13 years old. |
|
|
|
Sep-28-15 Leko vs Morozevich, 2008
| |
| sisyphus: I'm still trying to figure out what the rationale is for 15 Ke1. The pin on the knight is a problem. |
|
|
|
Aug-06-14 Mamedyarov vs I Ivanisevic, 2014
| |
| sisyphus: Don't neglect that Shak still won after throwing away the advantage with 18.Nf5?? Be4!! If 19.Qxe4 then Rd1+ 20.Kxd1 Nxc3+; oops. 18.Nb5 would have protected c3 and Black's bishop is trapped. |

Jun-08-14 Cez Trophy Navara - Nakamura Match (2014)
| |
| sisyphus: The official site is the Prague Chess Society, http://praguechess.cz . Among other things there is an article with Vlastimil Hort talking about the "sinful chessplayers of Prague." |
|
|
|
May-31-14 G Gajewski vs Sutovsky, 2010
| |
| sisyphus: This game was featured in The Kaufman Repertoire for Black and White. It's his example of the Modern Exchange Variation of the Grünfeld (7.Nf3 c5 8. Rb1 O-O 9. Be2). He prefers 9...Nc6 (rather than the popular ...cxd4) as a simple and sound continuation. After 24.Bd1 he suggests ... |
