May-09-25 Firouzja vs Caruana, 2025 
| |
| Albanius: Good win by Caruana, who managed his clock better; exciting endgame!
On move 56, Fabi would have reached a won position (-3 according to the engine here) with 56..Rd4, the move I thought obvious as I watched live.
After 56..Nf5 as played the evaluation hovered around -0.5-0.6. |

Oct-17-24 C Yoo vs Caruana, 2024
| |
| Albanius: Yoo was disqualified from the tournament and all his games were annulled, but it appears that the results still count toward FIDE ratings. Is that correct? This win pulled Fabi ahead of Nakamura on https://2700chess.com/ , the unoffical up to date FIDE rating list. |

Sep-22-24 T Nguyen vs J G Cardoso Cardoso, 2024
| |
| Albanius: There are two games in this Olympiad between these two players listed on this site - this one, and another won by Nguyen:
T Nguyen vs J G Cardoso Cardoso, 2024
This is significant, because Nguyen won the Second Board Gold Medal, per Wikipedia. |

Aug-26-24 Nepomniachtchi vs Caruana, 2024
| |
| Albanius: 10 Qd3, losing a tempo in a book position for no reason, is such an egregious blunder that I wonder if it was a fingerfehler.
Considering how critical tempi are in these St George vs Dragon lines, Nepo got what he deserved, but he might have gotten away with it against a lesser ... |

Jun-07-24 A Zapata vs Anand, 1988
| |
| Albanius: Anand could have played one more move: 6..Qe7, hoping for
7 Qb5+? Nd7;
8 Qxf5?? Nxc3%+;
9 Ne5 Nxe5;
10 dxc3 Nf3++;
11 Kd1 Qe1# |

Apr-22-24 Caruana vs Nepomniachtchi, 2024
| |
| Albanius: IMO there should be a playoff among Fabi, Nepo, and Naka, to cover the possibility that Ding isn't well enough to defend the title.
One of the commentators said that Nakamura would win the tiebreak because he had the most wins. But I do not think a tiebreak is an appropriate way ... |

Apr-13-24 Nepomniachtchi vs N Abasov, 2024
| |
| Albanius: I suppose 52 Re4+ Rxe4 53 fxe4 Ke5 54 Kd3
with W up a passed P is a book draw or Nepo would have played it. |
|
|
|
Apr-07-24 Caruana vs D Gukesh, 2024
| |
| Albanius: After 57 Ke3, Gukesh could have tried Qc3+,
hoping for the helpmate 54 Kf4???
But Fabi of course had other options. |
|

|
Apr-07-24 Spassky vs S Polgar, 1995
| |
| Albanius: 18 Nf7+ hoping for a smothered mate wins the exchange, but drops the Q:
18..Rxf7 19 Qxf7?? Be6! |

Apr-04-24 Caruana vs Nakamura, 2024
