Oct-03-22 U.S. Championship (2022)

| Fish55: The broadcast delay should have been standard procedure well before this year. |

Sep-06-22 Carlsen vs Niemann, 2022
| |
| Fish55: <Check It Out> Niemann has played this line before as black. You can even find it on this site: K Korley vs Niemann, 2019 . I would expect him to have studied this line and improved on his 2019 play. |

Jul-01-22 FIDE Candidates (2022)
| |
| Fish55: If Nakamura believes that Carlsen won't defend his title then drawing Nepo with black is absolutely the correct strategy. If the current standings hold Nakamura would be tied with Ding for second. My money would be on Nakamura in a rapid playoff. |

Jun-21-22 Nepomniachtchi vs Firouzja, 2022
| |
| Fish55: I think that 15...Bc4 was prepared but Firouzja seemed to be unprepared at move 20 and played 20...Bxf1 which gives white attacking chances on the f-file. 20...Nd6 or Kh8 were better. |

Jun-18-22 Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2022
| |
| Fish55: White needed to play Rad1 on move 21 or 22, planning to meet ...g5 with Rxd5, sacrificing the exchange to help the white king survive. |

May-25-21 M Yilmaz vs B Erbis, 2011
| |
| Fish55: Declining the rook sac is no better: 30...Kg8 31Rxh8+ Bxh8 32Qh5 still mates. |

May-04-21 Zilberman vs Kogan, 2000
| |
| Fish55: Black's move 38 is poor. How can you attack your opponent's bishop without considering where white's bishop might move in response? |

Mar-09-21 Kotronias vs G Mastrokoukos, 1991
| |
| Fish55: 34Rh4 Bxh4 35Qxh5+ Rh7 36Qe8+ Kg7 37Qg8+ Kh6 38Qg6 mate is largely forced but still pretty. |

Jul-29-20 A Timofeev vs Khismatullin, 2018
| |
| Fish55: 26...Ne4 is a very pretty move. |
