Jul-06-25 Swiercz vs V Kunin, 2009 
|
HaydenB: That's it?? That's the insane Sunday puzzle?? 3 seconds or so. Chessgames puzzles were better when Alberto and Daniel were running the site. |

May-16-25 Vachier-Lagrave vs D Gukesh, 2025
|
HaydenB: The "World Champion." Um, er, uh, ok |

May-08-25 Short vs P Corbin, 2006 
|
HaydenB: Seems a bit unfair that Corbin, as an FM, is allowed to play a board against someone like Short. I've always believed that simuls were a chance for amateurs to play against Masters or titled players, like when I, then rated 1450, played Spassky in 1986. |

Dec-19-24 G Lane vs Anand, 1988
|
HaydenB: Evidently White's flag must've fallen because the final position is dynamically equal....-.50
Anand was probably using his opponent's time during the game, taking his usual 10-15 minutes for the entire game |

Dec-19-24 Anand vs D Norwood, 1988
|
HaydenB: 19 year old Anand when he was taking just a few seconds per move, 10-15 minutes for entire games |

Dec-13-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024 
|
HaydenB: Wow. The #5 player in the world beats the #22 player in the world. I couldn't be happier. Gukesh now joins the likes of Ponomariov and Khalifman. Pretty heady company if you ask me! The new FIDE champion only has 4 players who are better than he is. They better watch out! |

Nov-17-24 P Vezzosi vs P Kovacevic, 1986 
|
HaydenB: Nf7 was pretty easy to see as it is an undefended square next to the King. The attack almost plays itself with each move practically forced. A game i would be proud of |

Aug-15-24 Kasparov vs Xiong, 2023 
|
HaydenB: Every time Kasparov demeans himself in events of this kind, he cheapens his legacy |

Jul-05-24 Janosevic vs Fischer, 1967
|
HaydenB: So much for Fischer's vaunted "technique." As late as move 42 the game was still even. Janosevic must've been chatting with Geller on how to beat Fischer |

Jun-11-24 Grischuk vs A Sarana, 2024 
|
HaydenB: Wow. Just like that. 35. Bb6 is a strategic blunder and then the capture on E6 puts white at -3
Before that the game was even... |
