Apr-02-25 Motylev vs Radjabov, 2010   whittaker: After 15... Qh4 : [DIAGRAM] there are 6 other games in the database, all drawn, in which White plays either 16. Bxd4 or 16. Kg2. Here Crafty actually recommends the game moves 16. Kh1 Qh3 17. Rg1 Nf3 18. Rg2 g5 but then diverges with 19. c3 gxf4 20. Qa4 Rd8 21. Bxa7 Nh4 22.      Dec-23-24 E Grabill vs D Mugridge, 1922   whittaker: Crafty says White is ahead +0.35 after 13. h3 Ne2+ 14. Qxe2 Bxe2 15. Ne6 Bb6 16. Nc3 Bxf1 17. Kxf1 Kd7 18. fxg3 Rag8 19. Nd5 Nxd5 20. exd5 Rxg3 21. Re1 Ke7 22. c3 Kf6 23. d4 (SF engine is down for maintenance).      Aug-29-24 M Hrabinska vs V Bhat, 2009   whittaker: In my analysis, I was assuming White would play 15. Rg1. Crafty agrees this is best and evaluates the resulting position at -1.20. After the game move 15. Ne3 it says the evaluation is -4.47.      Aug-01-24 R Filguth vs J Sunye Neto, 1978    whittaker: I correctly guessed all the moves starting from the puzzle position, but missed the mate in two from the final position: 30... Ke7 31. Ng6+! Kd6 32. Qe5# !      Jan-20-24 R Goletiani vs B Finegold, 2006    whittaker: If 9. Nxe5, then 9... Ne4! is -1.94 according to crafty.      Dec-14-23 J Fang vs B Finegold, 2001   whittaker: Finegold analyzes this game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JX...      Sep-12-23 A Gorbachev vs S Gankin, 2009   whittaker: Crafty recommends 13. Nd2 Nxe5 14. fxe5 Qxe5 15 Qxe5 Bxe5 16. Nf3 Bf6 17. Bf4 Bf5 18. Kd2 g5 19. Be5 Bxe5 20. Nxe5 Be4 21. Rhg1 Re8 22. Nf3 Bxf3 23. gxf3 -1.50      Sep-10-23 R Kuijf vs B Finegold, 1989   whittaker: Ben analyzes this game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLB...      Aug-01-23 E Keller-Herrmann vs H Raetsch, 1958    whittaker: Good grief, you guys are a bunch of whiners. The bonus puzzle is awesome, I barely made a dent in it after pondering for a few minutes. Thank you CG, keep 'em coming!      Jul-18-23 L De Veauce vs Speelman, 1975    whittaker: <thegoodanarchist> Maybe it's because the White a-pawn moves ahead 4 moves in a row (and two squares on the first move).      Nov-11-22 T F Lawrence vs A Fox, 1911     Nov-07-22 Lobron vs Dzindzichashvili, 1979     Oct-31-22 G Schwartzman vs H A Gretarsson, 1992     Sep-29-22 J Augustin vs Suba, 1977    Jul-25-22 B Rabar vs E Paoli, 1953     Jun-07-22 Fischer vs J E Warren, 1964    May-26-22 Letelier vs Pilnik, 1959     May-08-22 H Sjoholm vs Spielmann, 1941     Apr-27-22 P Papp vs M Lomineishvili, 2010     Apr-20-22 Mamedyarov vs Kuzubov, 2017     Apr-10-22 M Ghinda vs C Partos, 1975     Jan-31-22 A Coles vs H Daly, 1951     Dec-03-21 J Penrose vs Tal, 1960     Jul-14-21 G Abrahams vs Flohr, 1939     Jun-29-21 E Najer vs D Shchukin, 2000     Jan-08-21 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1986     Nov-12-20 Ftacnik vs A Aleksandrov, 2008     Nov-17-19 Szabo vs Tukmakov, 1970     Jul-07-19 Kholmov vs Bronstein, 1965     Jun-08-18 S Volkov vs D Anikonov, 2016     Apr-10-18 C Li vs G Quparadze, 2017     Feb-19-12 Kamsky vs Lautier, 1993     Feb-03-12 W G Doubleday vs Kudrin, 2004     Feb-02-12 K Treybal vs K Moll, 1907     Jan-25-12 Capablanca vs Ed.
