Mar-16-22 G Sargissian vs Firouzja, 2021
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: If 39.Bxc4 then Black simply goes 39...Ne6. White has 3 natural options, all losing:
1) 40.Bxe6 Rxc2
2) 40.Kd3 Nf4+ and the King can't keep defending the Bishop
3) 40.Bd3 Rxc2 41.Bxc2 Nc4+ 42. K-any Nxa3 and Black is up a piece. |

May-12-18 Team White vs Team Black, 2017 
| |
Zhbugnoimt:  I'm pretty amazed by the accuracy of White's play considering computer's weren't allowed.
Assuming it's been accurate of course.
<62.Rh8+> seems forced in order to stop Black's pawn from getting to ... |

Apr-01-18 Vachier-Lagrave vs Anand, 2018
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: I'm not saying 21...e5! 22...Qc4! was anything close to easy; it's an engine tactic that is extremely difficult for any human. I just think that Anand wasn't worried enough at that point |

| |

Nov-18-17 Korchnoi vs J Arnason, 1987
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: I got 40...Rad8! winning on the spot in a few seconds, and was surprised Arnason missed it. Then again, nobody was telling him he had a forced win, and it was move 40. |

Oct-30-17 Zytogorski vs Staunton, 1841
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: 9.h3 followed by 10.f4 was much better than the time-wasting a3 and b4 |

Aug-24-17 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2017
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: Iwer did all his analysis with black's pawn on h6 instead of h5. Troll or idiot, not sure which |

Aug-01-17 Svidler vs Ivanchuk, 2013
| |
| Zhbugnoimt: Svidler's <23.Re1?> could have been answered by <23...Nd6 24.Qxd5 Kd7! 25.Qxa8 Bc6 26.Qxb8 Qf3 27.Qa7+ Nb7 28.Rad1+ Ke7 29.Kf1 Bb5+ 30.Rd3!? Bxd3+ 31.Kg1 Bf5! 32.Re3! Qd1+ 33.Kg2 Qd5+ 34.Kf1!> With a draw |
