Sep-12-20 N Birnboim vs Dzindzichashvili, 1977
| |
| MostlyWatch: White's attack works because Black's heavy pieces are mostly bottled up on the left while his king's on the right with a light defense and White has worked to get his queen and rook over there. There's even a song about that diagonal wall of pawns! Why We Build the Wall by ... |

Sep-06-20 Areshchenko vs Savon, 2001
| |
| MostlyWatch: This is an old line of play from the 1800's I guess. Horowitz explained it in a book which I can't locate in my house and can't find online, not even a mention. Gone like footprints in the sands of time I guess. Basic features are 1) B castles or will castle kingside 2) W opens ... |

Jul-11-20 Capablanca vs N Zubarev, 1925
| |
| MostlyWatch: I think the devil's temptation was Kxd6. Black hovered around it, looked like he was going to avoid it, but then he fell for it. |

Jan-25-18 F Sun vs W Ju, 2017
| |
| MostlyWatch: I'm the guy who often does not see why they resigned. In fact, I sometimes wonder if that's what DID happen... or if White just got sick and went to the hospital and defaulted. I've often been struck by the paucity of standard chess notation. We need something better than 0-1 to |
