   Jul-24-25 L Rellstab vs L Steiner, 1937 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: It's a nice puzzle to see that there is something better than Rxf8 (I didn't).
 
   Jul-23-25 A Woodward vs G Rorrer, 2025 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: 26..Ng4 a blunder?
 
   Jul-09-25 E Vegh vs J Polgar, 1989 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: I had Ne4 forgetting that black can defend with Nd5. Turns out it's quite good (+3) because the knight can go on to take on Nc5. Nh7 is less than +1 because of Nd5.
 
   Jul-01-25 Abdusattorov vs P Maghsoodloo, 2025
 
Andrew Chapman: 27..d6 seems to have been the decisive mistake.
 
   Jun-19-25 J B Bjerre vs X Xu, 2025
 
Andrew Chapman: Evaluation doesn't change after 30.Rd7 but I can understand that rook against bishop and three pawns seems more definitely lost than being a pawn down.
 
   Jun-12-25 I Smirnov vs V Vetoshko, 2007 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: <In the game line, the king is still tempted by refusing the B, following with: <25...Kxf6 26. e5+ Kf7> 27. Qg5 dxe5 28. Bxh7 exd4 29. Bg6+ Kg8 30. Bf5+ Bg7 31. Rg1 Rc7 32. Qg6.> 29.Bg8, elegant.
 
   Jun-11-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs Gledura, 2025
 
Andrew Chapman: Apparently, 37. Qf4 was a mistake, bringing the evaluation down from +3 to 0. Then black needed to play 38..Qb8 rather than Qb7. But I don't know why I am afraid..
 
   Jun-10-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs R Hovhannisyan, 2025
 
Andrew Chapman: 27..Nc5 is hard to understand, allowing the pin. Computer doesn't like it at all - evaluation goes from +0.6 to +2.4. Nf8 was best apparently.
 
   Jun-10-25 N Riumin vs Alfeevsky, 1928 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: I thought Rc1 was odd. I was expecting Re1.
 
   Jun-02-25 D Gukesh vs Carlsen, 2025 (replies)
 
Andrew Chapman: I wonder how long it would take the GM commentators to realise that Ne2+ was losing if they didn't have an evaluation bar in front of them?
