Mar-28-21 P Thipsay vs C Duncan, 1994   Sourav: Excellent!      Mar-21-21 Z Almasi vs Watson, 1994   Sourav: 24. Bb6 forks the Rook and the Pawn. But, 24... Rd5 is better than 24... Ra8, which simply abandons the file.      Dec-23-18 Botvinnik vs Ragozin, 1927   Sourav: <Retireborn> I have been through your explanation and I understand it. Thank you! For some reason, I am finding a little extra difficult to understand the moves in this particular game. I wonder why.      Dec-07-18 Unzicker vs J H Donner, 1955   Sourav: 12. Nd2 and 16. Bh6 were the star moves.      Sep-07-18 Hrant Melkumyan   Sourav: <Retireborn> Thank you so much for the explanation. Although I did see 12. Re1, I could not see a good continuation after 14... Bxc5. By the way, Stockfish suggests 15. Bg5. Also, I have a feeling that Black made bad moves earlier than move 10 by not developing his pieces ...      Jun-30-18 Botvinnik vs N Grigoriev, 1927    Sourav: I think Black plays 5...Bb4+ in order to catch up on development. Am I correct?      May-27-18 Pachman vs Szabo, 1947    Sourav: <Retireborn> and <Telemus>, thank you for your responses. I agree that a3 does not really seem to serve any purpose. I will do further research and see if I can come up with a convincing answer. Also, I am prepared to realize that the move might not serve any purpose at ...      Apr-26-18 Chigorin vs Tarrasch, 1896   Sourav: <Gregor Samsa Mendel> Thank you! I will analyze further and understand this game.      Mar-25-18 Larsen vs Spassky, 1970    Sourav: Isn't 6...bc6 a better move because it enables a subsequent push of the Black d pawn to d5 thereby dominating the center?      Mar-10-18 Szabo vs R G Wade, 1949   Sourav: Thank you! It is clear now.      Feb-23-18 Tal vs Petrosian, 1974     Dec-31-17 Karjakin vs Radjabov, 2008     Mar-12-17 Tal vs R Toran Albero, 1961    Feb-25-17 Tal vs Uhlmann, 1971     Jan-08-17 Jesus Maria de la Villa Garcia     Nov-08-15 Gore Yogesh    Jul-02-14 Kramnik vs Bareev, 2003     Apr-26-14 Alan Trefler     Apr-23-14 Alexandra Kosteniuk     Apr-21-14 Ahues vs Alekhine, 1936     Apr-20-14 Flohr vs Petrosian, 1950     Apr-15-14 Zhao Xue vs Kosteniuk, 2014     Mar-19-14 Nunn vs I A Nataf, 1999     Mar-19-14 Kibitzer's Café     Mar-17-14 Valeri Beim     Feb-23-14 Shirov vs D Reinderman, 1999     May-23-11 Anatoly Karpov     Jan-16-11 Alekhine vs B Gregory, 1909     Aug-15-10 Alekhine vs Yates, 1910     Jun-06-10 J Mieses vs Capablanca, 1913     May-05-10 Andre Lilienthal     Apr-13-10 Garry Kasparov     Apr-04-10 Capablanca vs Burn, 1911     Mar-19-10 Eduard Gufeld     Mar-14-10 G Szabo vs Giri, 2010    Mar-07-10 Kick Langeweg     Feb-28-10 Deep Sengupta     Mar-09-08 Robert James Fischer     Mar-04-08 Bent Larsen     Oct-25-07 Henry Seymour Conway     Oct-20-07 Laszlo Szabo     Oct-19-07 B Steinwender vs M Sebenik, 2001     May-10-07 Tal vs Krogius, 1956     Oct-15-06 World Junior Championship (Girls) (2006)     Mar-13-06 Alekhine's Defense (B03)     Feb-14-06 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1990     Oct-17-05 Fischer vs R Shocron, 1959     Oct-14-05 Karpov vs Kasparov, 1990     Oct-06-05 Topalov vs Kasimdzhanov, 2005     Aug-31-05 Hyderabad vs Madras Chess Club, 1828     Aug-27-05 Szabo vs Kholmov, 1967     Jun-21-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005
