Jan-27-15 Fischer vs T Rouse, 1964
| |
| GoldenBird: after 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 is a pawn sacrifice, black dare not try and hold onto his d-pawn after: 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 with Nxd5?! as white gets a huge advantage with the lolli variation 6. d4! exd4 7. O-O and after a move like Be7 white continues with Nxf7, with a winning |

Jan-26-15 Napoleon Bonaparte
| |
| GoldenBird: I looked at Napoleon's march into Austria with Stockfish. Stockfish says Napoleon had an advantage of about +1.1 after crossing the border, an advantage he never lost |

Jan-25-15 Carlsen vs Anand, 2014
| |
| GoldenBird: <1 2 3 4> After 8. Qxd8+ Kxd8 we reach a position that is very drawish. Despite black's king in the center black has an unopposed light square bishop and f5 square for his knight. In fact, almost all GM's who play the berlin allow 8.Qxd8+ |

Jan-23-15 Emil Diemer
| |
| GoldenBird: In all of the games here, Diemer plays a question gambit (BDG), his opponent responds questionably. Diemer goes pew pew pew, sacrifices something, and wins. |

Jan-19-15 Henry Charlick

| GoldenBird: Is the charlick gambit total garbage? Or no? |
