Apr-26-05 A Mongredien vs Morphy, 1859 
| |
| takeithome: The authorities have commended 40. ♘e6 although Black is still kicking, or maybe still holding the edge. |

Apr-26-05 Augustus Mongredien

| takeithome: Augustus Mongredien (1807-1888). Although his record with Morphy was awful, he did manage to extend Anderssen somewhat. But then again, who didn't extend Anderssen and his love for attack-attack-attack and little defense-defense-defense? Anyway, the author of a Morphy game ... |

Apr-26-05 Ribli vs Korchnoi, 1989
| |
| takeithome: <aw1988> That is an excellent point. I've read somewhere that Korchnoi has a decided preference for reversed openings and unusual fianchetto schemes. That's originality. |

Apr-26-05 Grischuk vs Dreev, 2005
| |
| takeithome: 31. f4! begins a nice concluding demolition of a former youth champion. It took me half an hour to figure this one out... |

Apr-26-05 I Nataf vs Bacrot, 1997
| |
| takeithome: Bishop to e6 and then g4 and then e2 and then h5 makes a most interesting trip. |

Apr-26-05 C Horvath vs Ivanchuk, 1985
| |
| takeithome: <Eatman> White's suspicious handling of a French advance has much to do with his demise. Who can put his King on f2 on move ten with a straight face nowadays? |

Apr-26-05 Gilg vs Eliskases, 1939
| |
| takeithome: This game seems so instructive in the sense that Black fights valiantly even with a weak e6-pawn, which can be an awful bane in the QGD. |

| takeithome: Not bad for a lad under ten years old...! |
