Nov-25-12 Oll vs J Bosch, 1997 
| |
| Assassinater: An immediate 25... c4 leaves the d5 pawn hanging. Black is under heavy pressure, a pawn down, and probably positionally busted as well. In a messy game you can hope that there's something you can do to wriggle out of it. Refusing the bishop might take longer but looks ... |

| Assassinater: If we accept that Carlsen has a rating of around 2825, then we also have to accept that MVL has exceeded this performance rating during a tournament ( http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... ), which would also imply that MVL has occasions in which he plays no worse than ... |

Sep-10-10 Carlsen vs The World, 2010
| |
| Assassinater: Does anyone know if they will be posting the audio from the event anywhere? I wasn't able to make it this time but I'd really like to hear Kasparov's comments on the game. |

| Assassinater: <after 20 seconds of thinking, i had concluded that rd2! was much better, as it forces the white rook to the passive f4 square instead of to f5-e5 as in the game. i'm going to bed ...> I'm going to have to agree with you here. ... Rd2 Rf4 Kg7 Kf1 Kg6 Ke1 Rh2 and the king ... |

Apr-15-09 Caruana vs H Ni, 2009
| |
| Assassinater: Wow, even 2700+ GMs can overlook something as simple as 28... Rc4, where it looks like the worst is over for black. |

Aug-20-08 Alexander Morozevich
| |
| Assassinater: If Morozevich gets some momentum and faith in his abilities, watch out! He's always been a streaky player and hopefully he'll pull it together for the whole tournament. |

| Assassinater: Why didn't Moro just play the simple Rxa6? c5 looks strange to me. |

Aug-13-08 FIDE Grand Prix (2008)
| |
| Assassinater: Karjakin seems to have equalized quite comfortably in the opening. |
