Apr-17-22 Schmittdiel vs L Svensson, 1993
|
utssb: Fascinating game. The fact that 28...Nxf1+ begins the trouble and 35...Kh7 is a horrible blunder; really subtle stuff. Black played perfectly, got a pretty immediate equalization if not better (say after the 19th move), and then he just couldn't help himself with that ...Nxf1+ option ... |

<When were the Western athletes banned from competitions as a result of all the atrocities committed by Western countries around the world??> Are you allergic to specificity? Name the specific athletes you feel should have been banned, what country they ... |

Jan-12-22 R Svane vs Giri, 2021 
|
utssb: <America is fortunate that other minority groups don't act like BLM, even though they face many of the same issues> First time I've seen racism on this site. Feels a little surreal. |

Dec-09-21 Aronian vs Firouzja, 2020
|
utssb: 26...Nce4 is a blunder on account of 27.Qh5 with the idea of Ne6 and g6 <SpiritedReposte>: <26. g6!?> that's strong and it happens to be the same thing Black should play on the same move to protect the h-pawn |

Oct-08-21 V Popov vs V Vepkhvishvili, 1990
|
utssb: 38.Rb6+ followed by 39.Rf6 is a simple way to do it. Popov must have felt pretty bad after this one. |

Sep-15-21 M A Schapiro vs A Hodges, 1923
|
utssb: <Teyss> <Not sure because of 22.Qf2 protecting both pieces 22...Bxe3 23.Qxe3 and White seems a bit better despite B+N vs R+2Ps: DSB, pieces aiming at the BK and closed position for BRs and BB.>
Ah - you're right. I was thinking that 22...e5 complicates things but that just |

Aug-28-21 Fischer vs Letelier, 1959 
|
utssb: <asiduodiego> <so the excuse of "he was soooo young", I find it laughable. He just miscalculated>
How do you separate "he was too young" from "he miscalculated"? there's zero distinction there... being too young would be the reason for the miscalculation. |

Aug-17-21 D Andreikin vs Topalov, 2014
|
utssb: 11...Ne5 feels like a massive improvement. Black is threatening to take on f3, the LSB is about to come to f5 with tempo, then a rook can come to c8 to regain the pawn. DSB can come to f6 to pressure the b2-pawn in some lines. Maybe white just plays 12.Nfd4 though. |

May-12-21 World Championship Candidates (2020/21) 
|
utssb: What I don't understand is why anyone would want to give Karpov the same level of respect that Fischer, Carlsen and Kasparov earned. He became champion only because Fischer avoided the match - so right there he has a very unique disadvantage if we're going to talk about results. He ... |
