Mar-07-18 G Matteucci vs V Castaldi, 1938
| |
| Prugno: Probably the victim of this miniature is actually Guido Matteucci . |

|
Feb-01-18 Francesco Bellomo 
| |
| Prugno: Worse and worse... not only has the story been featured in all our major talk shows, but the international media have picked it up as well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news... |
|

|
Dec-09-17 Dharshan Kumaran
| |
| Prugno: GM Kumaran is by far the strongest chess player among the authors of the Alpha Zero paper, so perhaps he had a special role in the project... |

|
Aug-14-17 Westerinen vs J Franzen, 1988
| |
| Prugno: Dr. Franzen looks like an exceptionally gifted person in many areas, but I suspect his 2590 was an ICCF and not a FIDE rating. |
|
|
|
Jul-22-17 Gabriel Flom (Battaglini)
| |
| Prugno: He is playing under the name of Flom or Battaglini-Flom these days, and is described as "French-Israeli" in the following report: http://en.chessbase.com/post/georg-... |
|
|
|
Jun-25-17 Carlo Marzano
| |
| Prugno: This player is a team-mate of mine.
We have been friends for almost 30 years, and I always admired his multi-talented personality. Although in his main job he is a successful lawyer, Carlo also excels in many of his hobbies: master-strength chess player, first-class musician, ... |

|
Jun-25-17 A Kashlinskaya vs Uhlmann, 2012
| |
| Prugno: Together with very few other examples, like Korchnoi's win over Caruana in Gibraltar, this must be one of the most spectacular games ever played by a 77-year-old. |

|
May-14-17 Short vs Eljanov, 2017
| |
| Prugno: A fascinating game, and one of the cases where watching it online with computer evaluations in the background took away most of my pleasure. I mean, which human player will ever discover at the board that the best defence to White's ferocious attack is 23... Kb6! followed by 24... ... |

|
Nov-24-16 F Ferretti vs M Bagi, 2016
| |
| Prugno: Hopefully nobody is ever going to look at this game, but let me submit a correction just in case, before anyone points out that most of the last 10 moves make no sense. Here is what was actually played, as far as I can reconstruct from my scoresheet (everything OK until move 34): 35. |
|
|
|
Mar-13-16 J Christiansen vs Shabalov, 2016
| |
| Prugno: It would take some time to analyze this game properly (what happens after 25. Kh1, for instance?), but an old-fashioned king hunt is always great fun for all the spectators. Congratulations to Shabalov, whose aggressive style hasn't changed much over the years, and to his young ... |
