Nov-27-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021 
| |
| Fanques Fair: It seems Nepo returned the exchange in not the most apropriated moment. |

|
|
Nov-26-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: This game looks like a refutation of the move 8- h3 as a means to pursue an opening advantage for White. Black simply sacrifices the e5 pawn, gets the bishop pair, forces a simplification, and White has absolutely no advantage. Nepo should try 8-a4 for his next White game in ... |

Nov-23-21 Spassky vs Taimanov, 1955
| |
| Fanques Fair: Imagine Taimanov's shock : he just attacked young Boris' knight on the kingside and the lad sacrifices his other knight at the queenside. Taimanov was a very strong player, we must not forget, and he was soviet champion on those years. |

Sep-24-21 USSR Championship (1963)
| |
| Fanques Fair: There is an error on the tournament standings, as it tells that Spassky was undefeated, but he did lose to Stein. |

|
Sep-19-21 Karjakin vs Firouzja, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: 16- Nxa5 seems much better. After 16-..., Qxa5 , White can play 17-b3. For example : 17-... Qc6, 18-Bd2, and the game is equal. |

Sep-16-21 Carlsen vs Rapport, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: What´s wrong with 5 - Nxe5 ? |

|
|
Aug-04-21 V Fedoseev vs Carlsen, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: That´s why Magnus Carsen may be beaten once or twice, but he comes back with a revenge ! Very nice play by Black here. |
|
|
|
Aug-03-21 Carlsen vs Duda, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: Strangely played opening by the champion. You can´t always get away with these openings. |

|
Jul-27-21 Caruana vs S Megaranto, 2021
| |
| Fanques Fair: It´s totally ABSURD ! PCR tests are NOT a secure way to diagnosis ! In the opinion of its own inventor !!!
We´re living a distopic world. It´s a crime against chess and against humanity ! |

Apr-27-21 World Championship Candidates (2020/21)
| |
| Fanques Fair: Alexmagnus, " As for 24 games, I've never understood, what exactly, other than "tradition", is so special about this particular number? Why 24? Why not 20, 30, 22, 26 - just random even numbers from of a similar magnitude..." Well, the reason is clear : the most stable period ... |
