Oct-17-17 S Loyd vs Steinitz, 1867 
|
Magnus Kasparov: Loyd would've lost even had he not blundered. What chance does a problemist stand against the world champion? |

Oct-17-17 C Stanley vs S Loyd, 1859

Oct-15-17 Polugaevsky vs E Torre, 1984 
|
Magnus Kasparov: I guessed this one right away. Easiest Sunday ever. |

Oct-11-17 N Marache vs Morphy, 1857 
|
Magnus Kasparov: "Phony Benoni" Whereas Morphy sacs a knight to give immediate mate Marshall sacs a queen to transpose into a winning endgame. I prefer the former's simple technique over the latter's tedious performance. |

Oct-04-17 Khalifman vs D Yuffa, 2016 
|
Magnus Kasparov: Amazing swindle. Khalifman must have been congratulating himself over having built up a winning position when Yuffa played the rook sacrifice |

Oct-03-17 Alekhine vs S E Gale, 1932 
|
Magnus Kasparov: It's a little sad to see the great Alekhine lose in such a fashion. |

|
Sep-24-17 Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999 
|
Magnus Kasparov: Analyze with a strong engine for a while and you'll see that Topalov was dead lost from the moment he accepted the first rook sacrifice. |

Sep-19-17 Marshall vs G Marco, 1904
