Oct-11-21 Nunn vs Bronstein, 1975
| |
| JohnBoy: Beautiful game! And it needs to be forever paired w J Kaplan vs Bronstein, 1975 , from the same tournament. The Sorcerer's Apprentice sure gave the youngsters a beating. |

Oct-08-21 S Barrientos Chavarriaga vs Borges Mateos, 2004
| |
| JohnBoy: This smells of a desperado at the end of white?s nice try w 31.Rd6, <Brenin>. I, w <wazir> missed 36.Bf3, but there really isn?t anything else B can try. |

Sep-12-21 Sax vs Anand, 1986
| |
| JohnBoy: Stockfish gives 15.Qe3 a ? without saying what might be better. O I already like black at this point but it sure looks like white needs to recapture the piece. |

| JohnBoy: Both this and the previous are spectacular wins. Despite the flaw that <Ulhumbrus> points out above. I'm with <savage>, <Englishman>, and <Adolfo>. Damm! |

Jun-08-21 Konstantinopolsky vs I Rudakovsky, 1940
| |
| JohnBoy: Reminds me a bit of a game at American Open ~’76 between Strauss & Sierewan. Y was like 16 & came out of middle game down 3 connected passers to 2. But the pair was far more mobile & Y won. |

Jun-01-21 Spassky vs Fischer, 1992
| |
| JohnBoy: <offramp: <Russ09: A quick point about Fischer's 3 million payday. In 1973 the top Federal tax rate was 70% on income over 100k. So Bobby was lucky to walk away with 900k but NY had a state tax too.>
