Jan-26-19 M Gurevich vs N Pert, 2007
| |
| Spassfish: This is NOT a puzzle. It is half of a game that could have gone anywhere. Disappointing selection. Might as well have been e4 figure it out from there yourself. |

Dec-23-18 I Salgado Lopez vs Debashis Das, 2014
| |
| Spassfish: Chess engines take the beauty out of this game and destroy the fun of the human factor. Lets get BORED with stocktrout. Putting your pieces at the corner of squares to unnerve OCD opponents & getting big buggers out of your schnoz while your opponent cringes...that is a chess ... |

Nov-26-18 Caruana vs Carlsen, 2018
| |
| Spassfish: If a baseball game was a no-hitter for 20 innings it becomes simply a boor. Especially when no none ever swings a bat. Double bughouse anyone? |

Nov-13-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018
| |
| Spassfish: The open c file and pawn seems to present the only imbalance and opportunity for Caruana. I would say his position is slightly better but forcing it through is not simple. |

Oct-11-18 Morphy vs de Riviere, 1863
| |
| Spassfish: Early queen exposure can be a bad thing but...the shortest checkmate possible has 2..Qh4++ as a finale. Just sayin. |
