Jan-13-13 Nakamura vs I Sokolov, 2013 
| |
| Alesavio: Yes, 47...f4?? is a study like move to draw the game, but also to put the the king in a prison (g4) is a foolish plan! |

| |
| Alesavio: Alex Rombaldoni. |

Nov-29-12 Dominguez Perez vs Caruana, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: Yes, an impressive game in computer style. I think that only Carlsen can stop this boy, for the time being! |

Nov-27-12 W Ju vs A Ushenina, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: I think 65.Bd6+? is incorrect: 65.Kg6! Rg1+ 66.Kf6 Rh1 67.f4! (leaving the h pawn) wins outright. |

Nov-11-12 Caruana vs Topalov, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: I don't like 55.d8=Q: why change the powerful d7 pawn for the black Pf7?
Maybe things are not so simple... |

Oct-08-12 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: I don't like 5...Nc6?! Maybe it is "theory", I don't know, but I don't like it. 5...b6!? or 5...c5 seem to me more more in the spirit of French defence. |

| |
| Alesavio: Why not 11.Bxb5? |

Sep-30-12 Aronian vs Caruana, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: As usual Eyal has spotted the key points of the game! Bravo! Caruana, against the world number one and two, has played very hard games, long and difficult. He won the first and drew the second in a very "rocambolesque" manner: 4 points instead of 0! The secret? Well, in his book ... |

Sep-29-12 FIDE Grand Prix London (2012)
| |
| Alesavio: Naka has left behind the "naivetes" (read: dubious opening variations) and he went down to rock-solid, positional, Fischer-like-iron chess, against Ivanchuk. |

Sep-28-12 Caruana vs F Vallejo Pons, 2012
| |
| Alesavio: game over now, it's mate or black must give the Q |
