Aug-01-23 J Mieses vs von Bardeleben, 1896 
|
Sniffles: Not sure what white was thinking with 35. Re5. Staring a trade down dead in the face and a nasty pawn disadvantage. Even a walking brainfart like me saw that one coming. |

Feb-11-23 M Gurevich vs Sutovsky, 1999 
|
Sniffles: Narration:
W: Let's get that knight out of the way.
B: Nertz, hand the center to that darned queen.
W: Incoming bishop.
B: Not so fast, guy.
W: How about a rook to spice things up?
B: How about rook go suck eggs.
W: My queen wants a hug.
B: I'm out of here.
W: ... |

Jul-14-22 G Burgess vs C Bank Friis, 1991 
|
Sniffles: Mr. Burgess appears to have used Tal's deep dark forest, complete with the mandatory weird sacrifices. |

May-10-19 O Brendel vs T Chapman, 2017 
|
Sniffles: Weird. Stockfish proceeds to lose the game for white:
27.Qxh7+ Kf7 28.Rxg7+ ??? |

Feb-05-19 R Edouard vs T Casper, 2009 
|
Sniffles: Now that's a cute little trap and makes up for yesterdays no brainer. A passed pawn and no way to stop it. |

Dec-18-18 H Dronavalli vs S Cua, 2008 
|
Sniffles: Somewhere between a poisoned piece and a sucker punch. |

Oct-09-18 G Danner vs A Milnes, 2008 
|
Sniffles: As the sabre toothed kitty once remarked, "Bet you didn't see that one coming." That has to be a contender for the most poisonous piece to ever grace a chessboard. |

|
Sniffles: Diagonalley Simple Queen Sac |

May-25-18 M Antipov vs S Ivanov, 2017 
|
Sniffles: I'm not seeing why black didn't resign at 31. Hoping his opponent suddenly goes airhead isn't the mark of a GM. |

May-08-18 E Safarli vs A Donchenko, 2017 
|
Sniffles: Around 13. Black was playing like s/he was 1000 points lower than White. This is obviously not a Tal game. |
