Feb-06-19 M L Hanauer vs Schoenberg, 1938    Robert Samuels: Thanks, <Granny O Doul>, that's certainly possible. Schonberg would have been a 23 year-old grad student in 1938. I still wonder which Scho(e)nberg it was. It's not the composer of Les Miserables, anyway.      Apr-19-18 S Gupta vs Atharva Bhajne, 2008   Robert Samuels: Not bad for a five-year-old.      Apr-14-18 M Bach vs R Schubert, 1996    Robert Samuels: I hope they're following my blog: https://chessandmusic.wordpress.com      Mar-10-18 M W Healey vs G J Moore, 2017    Robert Samuels: A great game, one of my favourite openings, and I was actually playing in the same tournament (in a much lowlier division) at the time! The players are both Brits -- Michael Healey has a FIDE grade of 2141 and Graham Moore one of 2187. The game was played in my local ...      Oct-24-17 C Bauer vs S Feller, 2016   Robert Samuels: 24.Bb7!! is an impressive "empty square" sacrifice to decoy the c8 bishop.      Mar-21-17 M Godena vs C Garcia Palermo, 2014   Robert Samuels: Given as a main line after 4...d6 in "Winning with the slow but venomous Italian". The authors suggest 18.g4! as a crucial improvement.      Mar-18-17 Giri vs Anand, 2015    Robert Samuels: One of the demonstration games in Muller and Souleidis, "Winning with the Slow (but Venomous!) Italian. Anand's error is 24...Qd6 (24...Nh5=).      Mar-03-17 H Bogart vs NN, 1933    Robert Samuels: You're right, <offramp>. NN is probably the most famous player of all time.      Feb-23-17 S Franklin vs R Norinkeviciute, 2007    Robert Samuels: And it's a British game, too! Not bad for a 13-year-old.      Jan-19-17 Caruana vs Radjabov, 2016    Robert Samuels: What I admired most were the pawn advances 22.h4! and 23.h5! apparently giving up two pawns, but actually preparing the decisive invasion of the kingside, plonking the knight on f6. That vision at move 21 is what sets up the brilliancy that ends the game fifteen moves later.      Oct-18-16 G Jones vs N Nguyen, 2014    Oct-17-16 W Hendriks vs S de Boer, 2006    Sep-27-16 Anand vs Wei Yi, 2016    Sep-24-16 Carlsen vs K Mekhitarian, 2014     Sep-19-16 Kamsky vs Eljanov, 2007    Sep-16-16 A Beni vs Korchnoi, 1969     Sep-14-16 A Medina Garcia vs Korchnoi, 1969    Sep-11-16 E Haag vs Korchnoi, 1965     Sep-09-16 Y Kotkov vs Korchnoi, 1956     Sep-07-16 I Sokolov vs J Polgar, 2006    Sep-06-16 I Krush vs Y Hou, 2008    Jun-24-16 Menchik vs W Winter, 1932     May-20-16 Bareev vs Ivanchuk, 2006    Apr-01-16 U Boensch vs Benjamin, 1988    Mar-29-16 chessgames.com chessforum     Jan-20-16 N Giffard vs S Williams, 2005    Dec-24-15 Fischer vs A Sandrin, 1957     Dec-23-15 Benko vs Csom, 1971    Nov-25-15 A Nimzowitsch vs Alekhine, 1912     Nov-19-15 Sveshnikov vs J Stocek, 2000     Oct-14-15 A Czyz vs P Szablowski, 2010    Aug-10-15 F Schubert vs K Weber, 1913    Jul-02-15 Alekhine vs F Duz-Khotimirsky, 1911     May-16-15 Carlsen vs Ponomariov, 2008     May-13-15 P Smederevac vs C van den Berg, 1965     Mar-09-15 L Trent vs G Jones, 2001    Nov-23-14 J Tisdall vs A Ipek, 2003    Oct-28-14 A Herzog vs K Petschar, 1994     Sep-29-14 J Kupper vs Petrosian, 1967    Sep-21-14 Carlsen vs E Berg, 2003    Jun-18-14 N Rogers vs J Foucault, 2001     Feb-11-14 J Bellon Lopez vs J Garcia Padron, 1981
