Oct-21-21 Kenneth Rogoff 
| |
| HeMateMe: Re: the propery valuations, trump could get hit on both ends, criminal tax evasion and fraud. Maybe he'll go out quietly like the Enron CEO did. |

| |
| HeMateMe: Whoever thought they'd 'Burke Out' in St. Louis? |

Oct-20-21 United States Championship (2021)
| |
| HeMateMe: what happens at the end of the Caruna/So tiebreak game? It looks like So will be up a pawn, but such an early resignation? |

Oct-20-21 Robson vs Xiong, 2021
| |
| HeMateMe: "He was Robbed!" |

Oct-20-21 Jeremy Lim
| |
| HeMateMe: I was surprised that high pitch was looked at, and tagged for a dinger. Go Dodgers! still in it. Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella would be proud... |

| |
| HeMateMe: Z walked into a coffee house trap here. She's clearly lost interest, not the same player she was 3 years ago. |

Oct-18-21 Shankland vs Naroditsky, 2021
| |
| HeMateMe: I keep thinking that DNs Bishop can just shuttle, block the passed pawn on the a file. Because his Bishop can make the safe moves black's king can continue to block white's other passed pawn on the kingside. You can move the opposing king with a Rook, but not with a Bishop? |

Oct-17-21 Naroditsky vs Lenderman, 2021
| |
| HeMateMe: seems well thought out. black's line never gives white comfortable development of pieces. |
|

|
Oct-17-21 Blackburne vs Lush, 1885
| |
| HeMateMe: I think Alekhine once played a blindfold exhibition of 45 games, not sure of the number. American George Koltanowski, a blindfold specialist might have played 70 games blindfold in one sitting. 'kolty' does the Knight's tour, blindfold
