| DaeWang: Every time I open this game, a popup hits and tries to scan my computer. |

Apr-10-25 Z Tan vs W Ju, 2025 
| |
| DaeWang: This was a grandmasterful positional crush. W got a slightly cramped position (bad QN) out of the opening, and B never let her find even a sniff of play (let alone counterplay). |

Apr-10-25 W Ju vs Z Tan, 2025
| |
| DaeWang: At move 36, black had a nice swindle attempt: 36 ... f4+ 37 Kf3 Rxh3+ ?! then if 38 gh?? ... Qh1+ wins. However, 38 Kg4 Qxf2 gh (not ... Kxh3?? 39 Qg3#) escapes. |

Mar-21-25 M Stryjecki vs C Carbonell Bofill, 2003
| |
| DaeWang: 9. ... c5 is ?, then 10. Qa4 is ??; better is 9. ... Nd7, which loses 'only' the exchange. In fact, better than 9. Ba3 is 9. Bg5, which more or less forces 9. ... Qd7, which occupies d7 so the N can't go there, then 10. Bh6 Qe7 11. Qxf8+ wins the exchange AND removes the queens. |

Mar-09-25 Tal vs Aronin, 1962
| |
| DaeWang: I'm surprised that nobody has commented on 10 b3. I see 10. ... Nxe4 11 Nxe4 Bxa1 12 Bh6 and the BK cannot castle, and W has threats like Nd6+ if he can get his B off 23 and his R to e1, but is this worth a pawn and an exchange? |

Feb-15-25 Karpov vs V Akopian, 2006
| |
| DaeWang: 44 ... Bb4! (instead of ... Bxa5 winning a mere Pawn), because 46 ... Bc5+. |

Feb-11-25 D Gukesh vs Carlsen, 2025
| |
| DaeWang: I meant 'King side', and I see now that W castled Kingside in a similar situation (piece on h1 vs piece on h8), so the answer to my question is 'yes'. I would delete my question, but some AD overlays the box that I have to tick to confirm, Chessgames. |

| |
| DaeWang: I only got as far as17 ... Ne5, with the idea of a rooklift after 17 fe: Rd6??? so no soup for me! |
