Oct-14-17 Lupulescu vs Navara, 2017   Mehem: 56.Qg3+! Rg6 [DIAGRAM] and now 57.h5!! the extra pawn makes all the difference.      Mar-15-16 G Jones vs K Holm, 2016   Mehem: 54.Kd4-e5 [DIAGRAM] Position looks like a dead draw but White threatens Kd6, Rc5-c6 and a8Q. Thus 54... Ke7!= was necessary. However, Black played 54... Nd3+? and after 55.Kd6 the control over a8 was lost. If a.55... Nf4 then 56.Rc5 & Rc6 b.55... Ba8 56.Rb8 Be4 57.Rc8 & Rc6 ...      Mar-07-16 A Korobov vs R Jumabayev, 2016    Mehem: Wow! 3.h4!? against >2600 player... Sadly, it didn't work out.      Mar-07-16 Bachmann vs V Fedoseev, 2016    Mehem: White has just swallowed the poisoned pawn with 33.Bxe4?? [DIAGRAM] 35... Qf3! 0-1      Mar-06-16 Wei Yi vs M Kobalia, 2016    Mehem: <AzingaBonzer>I don't think so, this ending is completely lost (Nc5-Nxa4). For me, a way more astonishing issue is how Wei managed to lose the position: [DIAGRAM] in just 4 moves? ;)      Mar-04-16 M Antipov vs M Kobalia, 2016   Mehem: A study-like ending: [DIAGRAM] Black played 64... Kxf4? but after 65.Na3! it was a immediate draw due to the awkward position of Bb3. However, Black should have exploited the zugzwang: 64... Bf7 65.Kd3 Kxf4 66.Kd2 Ke5 67.Kd3 Kd6 68.Kd4 Be6 69.Kd3 Kc5 70. Kc3 Bf7 71.Kd2 (71.Kd3 ...      Feb-23-16 S Khademalsharieh vs N Zhukova, 2016    Mehem: I'd even say that after 71.Kxg3 it's a tablebase draw.      Feb-21-16 Van Kampen vs Wojtaszek, 2016    Mehem: 21.Rc1-c4 [DIAGRAM] 21... Rxc6 22.Rxc6 bxc6 and the players may sign a draw... However, Radek chose 21... bxc6?? and after 22.Rg4! there's no good defence for g7. E.g. 22... g6 23.Rxg6!+      Feb-21-16 S Khademalsharieh vs A Stefanova, 2016    Mehem: 40.Rg5 [DIAGRAM] 40... Nd5 would have kept the position equal 41.Qg3 Qf6 42.Ne4 Qh6 because there's no trick with 43.Rxh5. Instead, Black played 40... Qe6? and after 41.Qg3! immediately lost due to the weakness of g7 (41... g6 42.f5!).      Feb-18-16 S Khademalsharieh vs V Gunina, 2016    Mehem: [DIAGRAM] What a sad surprise! Not 62.g4+ Ke4= but 62.Qxh5!+. And if 62... Bxh5 then 63.Rf8+      Feb-09-16 Korchnoi vs Hjartarson, 1988    Feb-09-16 Korchnoi vs Hjartarson, 1988     Feb-09-16 Korchnoi vs Hjartarson, 1988    Feb-08-16 S Maze vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2016     Jan-30-16 A Fuderer vs Najdorf, 1955     Jan-28-16 Ding Liren vs Van Wely, 2016    Jan-26-16 Wei Yi vs Navara, 2016     Dec-28-15 P Tregubov vs Duda, 2015    Dec-28-15 Mamedyarov vs Carlsen, 2015     Dec-26-15 A Yusupov vs A Sokolov, 1986    Dec-26-15 A Sokolov vs A Yusupov, 1986     Dec-26-15 I Salgado Lopez vs Debashis Das, 2014     Dec-22-15 H Dronavalli vs H Ni, 2015     Dec-21-15 C Aravindh vs Carlsen, 2015     Dec-20-15 S Gagare vs Wei Yi, 2015     Dec-20-15 N Padevsky vs Kasparov, 1980     Dec-19-15 A Sokolov vs A Yusupov, 1986     Dec-18-15 W Balcerowski vs T Lubienski, 1960    Dec-14-15 Carlsen vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015     Dec-13-15 Giri vs Nakamura, 2015     Dec-12-15 Anand vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015     Dec-11-15 Grischuk vs Anand, 2015     Dec-08-15 London Chess Classic (2015)     Dec-07-15 Vachier-Lagrave vs Topalov, 2015     Dec-06-15 Mamedyarov vs Giri, 2014     Dec-05-15 Nakamura vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015     Dec-05-15 Topalov vs Giri, 2015     Dec-04-15 Grischuk vs Nakamura, 2015     Dec-04-15 J Boudy Bueno vs W Schmidt, 1976    Dec-01-15 Gligoric vs Tal, 1959    Nov-30-15 C Storey vs J Jarmany, 2014     Nov-29-15 Tal vs H Hecht, 1962     Nov-29-15 Tal vs F Olafsson, 1959     Nov-29-15 Keres vs Tal, 1959    Nov-28-15 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959     Nov-27-15 Benko vs Tal, 1959     Nov-27-15 Tal vs F Olafsson, 1959    Nov-25-15 Magnus Carlsen     Nov-24-15 Y Sakharov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1957     Nov-22-15 Carlsen vs Wojtaszek, 2015     Nov-21-15 Giri vs Shirov, 2015     Nov-21-15 Nisipeanu vs Carlsen, 2015     Nov-21-15 Tal vs Gligoric, 1959     Nov-21-15 Wojtaszek vs Aronian, 2015     Nov-20-15 Smyslov vs Tal, 1959     Nov-20-15 Capablanca vs S Campos, 1927     Nov-19-15 Fressinet vs Eljanov, 2015     Nov-19-15 Leko vs Carlsen, 2015     Nov-18-15 Carlsen vs Aronian, 2015     Nov-18-15 Bacrot vs Z Almasi, 2015     Nov-18-15 Giri vs A Beliavsky, 2015     Nov-17-15 Carlsen vs Pelletier, 2015     Nov-17-15 European Team Championship (2015)     Nov-17-15 Stockfish (Computer)     Nov-16-15 G Gajewski vs F Berkes, 2015     Nov-15-15 H Melkumyan vs F Urkedal, 2015    Nov-15-15 H Steingrimsson vs M Marin, 2015     Nov-15-15 Aronian vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2015     Nov-15-15 Van Wely vs Z Kozul, 2015     Nov-01-15 Sutovsky vs Sakaev, 2007     Oct-31-15 A Moiseenko vs Macieja, 2009     Oct-29-15 Chess vs D Levy, 1978     Oct-29-15 Ding Liren vs Giri, 2015     Oct-26-15 V Kovacevic vs P Ostojic, 1969    Oct-22-15 L E Johannessen vs Harikrishna, 2015     Oct-21-15 Hracek vs Y Yu, 2015    Oct-20-15 V Babula Sr vs Giri, 2015     Oct-19-15 M Karttunen vs Topalov, 2015     Oct-14-15 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2015     Oct-13-15 Dominguez Perez vs M Perunovic, 2015    Oct-12-15 Carlsen vs Ivanchuk, 2015     Oct-12-15 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2015     Oct-11-15 V Fedoseev vs Y Vovk, 2015     Oct-11-15 Anand vs A R Saleh Salem, 2015    Oct-09-15 Tal vs Smyslov, 1959     Oct-08-15 D Howell vs K Arkell, 2015     Oct-07-15 Furman vs Korchnoi, 1954     Oct-07-15 F Destrebecq vs G Drogou, 1982     Oct-06-15 V Laznicka vs Bologan, 2015     Oct-06-15 I Lysyj vs Morozevich, 2015     Oct-06-15 Karjakin vs Svidler, 2015     Oct-03-15 E Ermenkov vs W Schmidt, 1985    Sep-30-15 J Lewi vs Karpov, 1968
