May-15-09 Keres vs Petrosian, 1949 
| |
| squizz: The king's position on h7 was very vulnerable with the open center. If the center was blocked, like it often is in the King's Indian defence, black would have had very good chances. |

May-10-09 Philidor Defense (C41)
| |
| squizz: The Philidor is very underrated. Black's winning percentage is better than in the Ruy Lopez and is far less complicated. |

Apr-08-09 M Pasman vs Tal, 1954
| |
| squizz: I don't think 29. Rd4 is any better. After 29. ...Nxd4 white just loses the exchange. |

| |
| squizz: How old was Fischer when he played this game? |

Apr-06-09 D Hoelken vs Tartakower, 1905
| |
| squizz: Qd8+ is one of the worst blunders I've ever seen. |

Apr-06-09 G Mayer vs Tartakower, 1906
| |
| squizz: There was no reinforcements whatsoever for white's attack. That game was squizztastic. |

Apr-06-09 Yates vs Marshall, 1929
| |
| squizz: It is very rare when a player gets a pawn promoted to a queen but does not win. This game was very interesting for a draw. |

| |
| squizz: This is a great example of a sacrifice to keep the opponent's king in the center. |

Mar-13-09 Hromadka vs J Sajtar, 1942
| |
| squizz: This goes to show that moving the f-pawn early is very risky. |
