Oct-04-14 Alekhine vs Nimzowitsch, 1934 
| |
| Bronder: This is a remarkable game. Alekhine's confidence in attacking with his King is something to behold. It is as if he turns him into a minor piece. |

Oct-03-14 Capablanca vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1913
| |
| Bronder: Capablanca seems to have become mesmerized at some point. Good job by Eugene Aleksandrovich Znosko-Borovsky! |

Sep-29-14 Tal vs A Zapata, 1984
| |
| Bronder: An unremarkable game except that Tal pulled out a win while being a pawn down. |

Sep-28-14 Carlsen vs H A Gretarsson, 2003
| |
| Bronder: Gretarsson suffers from a lack of mobility and from sustained attack began by the smell of blood in the water. |

Sep-26-14 Alekhine vs Marshall, 1925
| |
| Bronder: Look at white's position after its 10th move. If it looks like a spearhead pointed at the black king, and it moves like a spearhead, and feels like one, then it is. |

Sep-26-14 Janowski vs Capablanca, 1916
| |
| Bronder: Capablanca's 10th move!
He is so in charge of this game, and this is especially so when it looks as if he is not. White's attacks are like a day-dream that Capablanca casts in front of Janowski's eyes. |

Sep-15-14 S Sokolov vs I Semenov, 1987
| |
| Bronder: A stunning checkmate! Once Black starts to make mistakes they just amplify. One can learn from Greco vs NN not to go down the path of Black moving its Queen to F6 and then to G6. |

Sep-15-14 Karpov vs Miles, 1980
| |
| Bronder: There is evidence that Karpov lost his nerve because White's 20th move looks as if it does not belong. |

|
Sep-15-14 Greco vs NN, 1625
| |
| Bronder: Black's third move betrays that we are looking at a game from about 400 years ago. |

|
Sep-15-14 Greco vs NN, 1620
| |
| Bronder: It is very interesting to watch an early 17th Century game with its directness. |
