Apr-29-07 Kramnik vs Leko, 2007
| |
| Troglodyte: Equalized? Black has a substantial advantage, Leko should've played on. |

| Troglodyte: He is there, but I think you need to select the <Longer list of players on homepage> option in your preferences. |

Apr-24-07 Portisch vs Dreev, 2007
| |
| Troglodyte: It takes a cold heart to say no to a 70-year-old man, and there's the respect factor of course. It's not like Dreev is doing charity here, Lajos is a legendary player. But I bet Dreev was looking forward to having a good game with him.. It's a pity. |

| Troglodyte: <King Obvious> Yea, I play at GameKnot. But I primarily play at schemingmind.com. I have the same name on both. If you are interested in a game, I can only play at schemingmind as my limited games at gameknot are reserved for team games. And Schemingmind is 100 times better |

Apr-24-07 Karpov vs H Hecht, 1973
| |
| Troglodyte: The Nh4-f4 maneuver is instructive. Superficially it seems anti-positional but Karpov has a concrete plan. |

Apr-21-07 Petrosian vs Bronstein, 1956
| |
| Troglodyte: I remember reading somewhere, I think Seirawan said it, that Petrosian used so much energy analysing positions more deeply than his opponents that he would once in a while have such collapses in exhaustion, where he overlooked something obvious. |

Apr-19-07 I Saren vs Karpov, 1972
| |
| Troglodyte: Amazing play by Karpov. 25. e5 brings White's whole position crashing down. If 27.fxe5 Rxe5 28.Qd4 <28.Qd3 Bb6+ 29.Nd4 Rxc3> 28...Rxe2 29.Nxe2 Qf3 |
