Jan-30-22 Geller vs Spassky, 1965 
| |
| Roark: Anyone know much about the variations in this wild game? Spassky decides to make his king drafty in order to take away squares from enemy pieces judging that the white king cannot be exploited so easily. I wonder about the different continuations after move 30 and 31 |

| |
| Roark: Sudoplatov meant to say that the first new move was 15.Bc4* I was reading it and it was not helping me enjoy Najdorf theory. |

Jun-03-19 Anand vs Carlsen, 2019
| |
| Roark: Anand is too slow and too rusty compared to Magnus. Anand should have retired earlier than Kramnik did. Kramnik was playing even better chess than Anand at the time when looking at tournaments over a longer term than just Kramnik's final official tournament. |

| |
| Roark: Good perpetual decision. Despite the look of the White king, Stockfish assesses position as a minuscule better for White. |

Jun-02-19 Kamsky vs Karpov, 1993
| |
| Roark: Where does it say or who said that Tigran Petrosian/ Iron Tigran was Karpov's idol? Source please. He had worked with so many coaches that had differing styles than him of course. Zaitsev, Tal he always blitzed and analysed with and his earlier coach in Tolush. |
