| SufferingBruin: Show of hands who would have gotten this OTB? In my case, I would've been blinded by flop sweat. |

| SufferingBruin: It's crash the rook into the defense week here at CG. Rxg7 starts the ball rolling. |

Feb-19-15 Anand vs Nakamura, 2015
| |
| SufferingBruin: I'll be interested to see where Anand ranks in all-time lists. It seems as if his best chess came between Kasparov and Carlsen (the former recognized as the all-time great by many, the latter who is on his way to similar recognition). If Anand had beaten either, this wouldn't |

Jun-20-13 Letelier vs Fischer, 1960
| |
| SufferingBruin: Just played this on "Guess the Move". I'm low rated but damn if I wasn't just a little cocky getting most of the moves right (a couple of howlers but still, better than I'm used to). I didn't get 23. ... Rxe3 though I considered it.
