Autoreparaturwerkbau: Great game by Kamsky, i really enjoyed how he turned a cramped position to a superior one. About pronounciation of Gata. We Slavs pronounce 'a' as.... 'a'. Always. A is a for us. But i understand the confusion. In English 'a' can apart from normal 'a' as in father, car, |

Autoreparaturwerkbau: There is something unusual about this Magnus Carlsen page. According to it, Magnus hasn't played a 'notable game' (TOP 10 game in career) since 2013, that is since he was 23. I know the consequence it to eliminate one of current TOP 10 notable games and replace it with ... |

|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: 35...g3+!
What a beauty! White can do absolutely nothing to escape being mated. I usually solve first 3-5 days of the week POTDs, but this one i doubt i could. |

Aug-02-24 Lasker vs A Goldberg, 1905 
|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: Eventhough spectacular,
<12.Rxb7?> is a bad move since it throws the clearly won position away and reenters a pretty complicated position as <Amarande> notes. Instead 12.Nfg5+
[DIAGRAM]
should be played immediately and with black's queen gone in next |

|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: <Mayankk: I didnt see the 38 Rc5 defense.> Well, that's good if you didn't see it – since it is a clearly losing move as Viktor ruthlessly demonstrated. |

|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: <47.d7!>
[DIAGRAM]
would be game over, white wins.
White opted for <47.♖f8??> and it was a game over - but black wins instead. Fun stuff. |

Jun-17-24 A Donegan vs L Schmitt, 1926 
|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: Simple fork 34...♘e2+
[DIAGRAM]
simplifies the game for black and leaves white with no ammunition left. Black went for a fatal 34...♕h1+ instead and got burned. |

Autoreparaturwerkbau: It seems that the scoresheet is incomplete. |

May-28-24 A Chandra vs B Finegold, 2016
|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: Black had connected rooks patroling e-file but on the other hand his king was defenseless since all important pieces were far away. White took advantage in a very direct manner: first <26.g4!>
[DIAGRAM] and then <31.♖f5!>
[DIAGRAM] Excellent game ... |

May-27-24 Firouzja vs Carlsen, 2024
|
Autoreparaturwerkbau: Placing a rook to e4 (37.Re4) was a good idea, but Alireza should play 37.Rxg4+ first
[DIAGRAM]
and only then above-mentioned 38. Re4. Makes a huge difference. |
