May-07-11 Karjakin vs Anand, 2006 
| |
| Halfpricemidge: This is more like a work of art as arjunkakar says <more like a piece of art than science>. The black pieces are all 'bottled up' and then after 21...well, the rest is history. I like this better than Kasparov's 1999 game against Topolov. However, What if White had ... |

| Halfpricemidge: Yes, RJF and the creativity of his games has (like it or not) influenced all of us as well as his successors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what if he had been born in Russia and persued chess? They would have treated him like a king! Probably would have put his face on their ... |

Dec-12-10 S Marder vs J Dlugosz, 2007
| |
| Halfpricemidge: Perhaps White should have not blocked his Queen defence with Be2, and moved 31 Be4 instead (if he wanted to threaten the black Queen.) I only guessed the first three moves. |
