Jan-18-19 A Fier vs R Aloma Vidal, 2018

| Calar: Doule rook sacrifice on h8, Queen comes to h-file with tempo and mates on h7. My first Friday. Wohooo :) |

Apr-21-18 Caruana vs Lenderman, 2018
| |
| Calar: <thegoodanarchist> In my experience as a player and spectator, French Defense can lead to a myriad of various type of positions where there are no correlation whatsoever between castling (first) and having a good position potentially becoming a winning one. That's a part of its ... |

Mar-20-18 E Dizdarevic vs Kramnik, 1992
| |
| Calar: This reminds me of an old advice by some chess master ( Hugo Faehndrich , IIRC): "If you must choose between taking the queen and checkmate, always take the queen; because checkmate - doesn't have to be a checkmate". In practical game, I'd play prosaic Qxb4 any day without a second ... |

Sep-03-16 Wei Yi vs B Sadiku, 2016
| |
| Calar: 19..Qf6 20.Bxf7+ Qxf7 21.Nxf7 Kxf7 22.Rxe7+ Kxe7 23.Qg7+ leaves Black overwhelmingly behind in material. Great attacking game by Wei Yi, punishing lack of development from Black. |

Aug-10-16 Topalov vs Ding Liren, 2016
| |
| Calar: What's the reason behind 16...b4? Whatever compensation Black was supposed to have for the pawn - I don't see it. |
