May-26-23 Bologan vs P Schlosser, 2004 
| |
| JohnTal: No Baloney here - forceful and bold. With Black's K confined and White's ability to rapidly bring his Rooks and Q on the H-file spelled an easy W for VB. |

Jan-30-23 J Mieses vs Von Bardeleben, 1905
| |
| JohnTal: Is there a refutation to 13...e4 followed by fortifying his defenses with Be6 and Qf6 within his next 2-4 moves. Allowing 14 Qh7+ is a horrific error. |

Sep-11-21 Shamkovich vs Kholmov, 1961
| |
| JohnTal: 19 Rxg7 immediately grabbed my attention. This is a move you play without thinking while you have the supreme confidence that you will mate the king or recovery any sacrificed material while retaining a significant winning advantage. I saw the first 2 moves and figured that once ... |

| JohnTal: Ghitescu vs Fischer, 1960 Bobby Fischer administering a similar trick, 1960 Leipzig Olympiad. |

Dec-05-20 Spassky vs Fischer, 1972
| |
| JohnTal: Think About 19 Knight g3 check!!
with the idea runner check, queen check, game over. Nope, Spassky simply grabs the piece with 19 hg. ...hg+, 20 Bh3 without having to move his K. |

Jul-13-17 Sidney Bernstein
| |
| JohnTal: One of the few players who would aggressively sacrifice a piece against Fischer and survive, even though he never beat Bobby -- at least he was entertaining and not simply an intimidated wimp who lacked any fight. |

Apr-13-17 J Dworakowska vs Shabalov, 2006
| |
| JohnTal: 24...Ne3 and White survives with 25 Ne3 ... Bh6 followed by 26 Bf1 |

Apr-11-17 A Bisguier vs Fischer, 1956
| |
| JohnTal: After this game, Fischer turned Bisguier into his favorite whipping boy. |

Mar-03-17 H Bogart vs NN, 1933

| JohnTal: We'll always have Paris! |
