May-20-10 United States Championship (2010) 
| |
| Phoenix: 58.g4+ looks like a "!" to me. King then walks over to g3, and then Larry pushes the h-pawn. Looks like progress. |

Dec-15-09 Zzzzzz vs Joker, 2006
| |
| Phoenix: <Yes, Abby Normal.
>
I always split a gut when that scene occurs in Young Frankenstein. Or is that 'Frankenshteen?' |

| Phoenix: Thx, DCP23. I knew the banner wouldn't be there when I looked. I have yet to get one of these puzzles. :-) |

Dec-09-09 Carlsen vs McShane, 2009
| |
| Phoenix: Carlsen made the dynamic King's Indian Defense look like a Lasker's QGD. |

Dec-08-09 McShane vs Short, 2009
Dec-04-09 Kasparov vs J Waitzkin, 1988
| |
| Phoenix: 7.f4 has often been cited as the <main reason> for questioning the soundness of the Modern Benoni. In fact, this 7.f4 move is why most black players prefer to enter the Modern Benoni after White has comitted to Nf3. |

Nov-22-09 Kosteniuk vs Mamedyarov, 2009
| |
| Phoenix: 26.0-0-0 I bet she wasn't happy when she played that move. |

|
Nov-18-09 Kosteniuk vs Anand, 2009
| |
| Phoenix: In light of the comments to Carlsen vs Kosteniuk, 2009 , may I propose the possibility that Kosteniuk lost THIS game because she was distracted by Anand's good looks? |

Nov-13-09 Tal Memorial (2009)
| |
| Phoenix: Gee, Carlsen wouldn't be planning a piece sac on e6, eh? Could he be a little less obvious :-) |
