Sep-02-25 Sinquefield Cup (2025) 
|
sudoplatov: Too late for a New York 1924 centenary. Perhaps a New York 1927 centenary. |

Sep-01-25 Capablanca - Euwe (1931)
|
sudoplatov: An amusing comment (of course, I don't know from whence it came): "Euwe obtained a match with Alekhine in 1935 by closely losing a series of matches against strong players." |

Aug-26-25 Greece-Polgars Match (1990) 
|
sudoplatov: Polgaria won the Women's Olymiad in 1988 and 1990 under the nom de guerre of "Hungary"? With some help from Mádl . |

Aug-24-25 Euwe vs Keres, 1948 
|
sudoplatov: The first (as far as I could find) use was in the Capablanca-Marshall 1909 match. It was a draw. |

Aug-22-25 Caruana vs Firouzja, 2025 
|
sudoplatov: Queening Black's Bishop into a Pawn seems to work here. |
|
|
|
Aug-21-25 Marshall vs K Treybal, 1933
|
sudoplatov: E30....Kg8 seems to be a blunder. 30...g6 is better. It's an obvious move to get out of the pin. I'm guessing that move 30 was time control.
EDO has Marshall as the world's #50 at 2442 and Treybal as #72 at 2417. |

Aug-20-25 Firouzja vs Duda, 2025 
|
sudoplatov: According to Stockfish, 18.Bb3 is a mistake by White and 23....c2 rather than 23....Bxd5 would leave Black up by +2.25 Pawnsworth. Deeper analysis may refute these comments. (The AInotator reads like Blackbure.) |

|
Aug-20-25 Yanofsky vs Botvinnik, 1946
|
sudoplatov: A cursory if Stockfishy exam shows 37 Qa7 somewhat weak and 38 Qc5 to be bad. These lead to about a Pawn better evaluation for White. |
|
|
|
Aug-13-25 Caruana vs Shankland, 2025 
|
sudoplatov: The two Passers are three columns apart. Should win even against Bishops of Opposite Colors. |
|
|
|
Aug-13-25 Caruana vs Aronian, 2025 
|
sudoplatov: Two mysterious Rook moves. |
