Apr-22-19		Fanques Fair: Briliant attacking game by the great Svidler ! Mating threats incessantly surrounding Black's king , in a queenless and opposite-colour bishop ending.

Apr-22-19		thegoodanarchist: White's dark-square bishop is a hideous monster!

Apr-23-19		PawnSac: It may be that Peter is only #19 (on the way back up), but I think anyone in the top 100 is making a statement, and especially the 2700 class.. (top 40) regardless, Peter is a fine talent, and plays some really great chess. But he's also one of my favorite commentators. He and Jan make a great pair!

Apr-23-19		Sally Simpson: * Wonderful piece of chess and the Rook Bishop mating patterns are not without a touch of class and humour. We think it's coming on d8. click for larger view No it's happening on h8. click for larger view Black resigned. To avoid the mate Black gives up exchange on f6 37...Re6 38. Rh8 Rxf6 39.exf6. giving us this wonderful position. click for larger view The Black King and Rook can never move. The White King gets to d6, chops on g8+, Ke7 then sac bac the exchange on f7. See Short vs S Gagare, 2008 click for larger view Nigel Short's 45.c4! to get the Knight to h6 and the psuedo-helpmate King Walk. *
