   Jul-20-22 I A Zaitsev vs Benko, 1975 (replies)
 
Eleuthero: @atarw After RxN and RxR black wins by just marching the c pawn. In the end, white will be forced to sac his knight whereupon black will have a passed d pawn and a much more active rook.
 
   May-28-21 P Mithrakanth vs Anand, 1985
 
Eleuthero: Lots of players throughout history have tactical, offensive reputations but Anand is unique because he's the ultimate master of defensive tactics.
 
   Jun-07-20 Caruana vs Ding Liren, 2019
 
Eleuthero: The queen sacrifice which ended this game was beautiful yet vicious. It might be the worst defeat ever inflicted on Caruana.
 
   Jun-07-20 Savon vs Lobron, 1988 (replies)
 
Eleuthero: This game shows that the Modern Benoni can be played positionally. Black nursed his queenside pawn majority to victory and there were no tactical fireworks at all.
 
   Jun-07-20 Kupreichik vs Lobron, 1996 (replies)
 
Eleuthero: On move 30 can't white just go Qxh4? I see no follow up for black.
 
   Jun-07-20 Khalifman vs Lobron, 1992
 
Eleuthero: Yes, if Qxg6 it's mate because after Qf3+ and Qf1+ a move later, the white king has to move to the h file and Rh8+ is then utterly deadly.
 
   Dec-06-19 Korchnoi vs Nunn, 1988 (replies)
 
Eleuthero: Rf2+ when I first played it on the board just looked like an illusion until you suddenly see Qd3#.
 
   Nov-19-19 Reti vs Capablanca, 1924 (replies)
 
Eleuthero: The beauty of the final attack by Reti is that it's the epitome of Hypermodernism. All of Reti's pieces which once controlled the center from a distance now directly occupy the center. A beautiful game.
