Nov-21-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016

| CommaVid: N6e5 though, I like it but perhaps it's asking a bit too much of the position. |

| |
| CommaVid: The 13. Nb5 line shown earlier is pretty interesting, hopefully we see it on the board. |

Nov-18-16 Karjakin vs Carlsen, 2016
| |
| CommaVid: How did they get to a drawish position this quickly suddenly? Opposing bishops make it hard to get an edge now. |

Nov-18-16 Hebden vs F Felecan, 1993
| |
| CommaVid: @YetAnotherAmateur, I think the line fails at 19. ... Bxb2+, but tbh I don't think many found the real answer (18. a3). |

| |
| CommaVid: This game is very well played, white manages to improve his position almost every single move. |

Aug-15-15 F Amonatov vs V K Matta, 2014
| |
| CommaVid: @al wazir I think after 18. Ne2 Rc5+ wins rather easily, for example 19. dxc5 Rc4+ 20. Nc3 Rxc3+ 21. Kd2 Qxb2+ 22. Ke1 Rxd3+ 23. Rd2 Bxd2+ (etc.). |

Aug-12-15 S Agdestein vs Karjakin, 2014
| |
| CommaVid: Somehow I'm still not convinced 28. Qxd3 Qh6+ 29. Qh3 Rh4 30. QxR QxQ+ 31. Kg1 is easily won for black, because the bishops have good positions and pushing the d-pawn also aims at g7. But ofc, these guys being GMs, they probably know it's hopeless anyway. |

Aug-08-15 Milov vs Karjakin, 2014
| |
| CommaVid: This puzzle is hard, cause I went for the mate (which I did not find, after 30. Re2 I settled with Bxg3 which I'm sure is weaker than the game move) instead of the loose piece. 25.... h3 doesn't seem bad either now I think about it. |

Jul-18-15 Browne vs Wojtkiewicz, 2004
| |
| CommaVid: 19.Rd4 appears to be losing due to Qa6, with the threat of Ra1+ and b3 can't be played sine the Rd4 blocks the path of the queen. |
