Jan-06-25 Cochrane vs A Deschapelles, 1821
|
Uhohspaghettio: Note that for this game Cochrane would only have been 21-24 years old, which in today would mean you should be nearing your peak but back in those days some strong players didn't even start playing until after their 20s and in any case he would have had little material to ... |

Dec-21-24 Nepomniachtchi vs F Vallejo Pons, 2007
|
Uhohspaghettio: @kereru Very interesting. Notably Mieses found the critical 13th move Be3 while Nepo played the far inferior 13. Kb1 and lost much faster. |

Feb-28-24 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2021
|
Uhohspaghettio: I can't agree Sally Simpson, what they did was already skirting the rules. Why do you want to bring this sort of thing into real chess games, what's the point? "Interesting to see a game without castling" - no it's not really interesting at all it's just your excuse to play ... |

Mar-08-15 Fischer vs Tal, 1959 
|
Uhohspaghettio: The queen does go on f3 in the main line of 6. Bc4. No guys these moves are all standard book and you won't be able to pick out the first inaccuracy made without a lot of research and likely a computer. |

Jul-17-12 V Gashimov vs Dominguez Perez, 2011
|
Uhohspaghettio: Maybe the entire scorecard is corrupt, or alternatively maybe both players wished to lose for purposes of the competition. If it's the latter, they should have resigned at the earliest opportunity (perhaps after 1 move, to avoid the controversy seen when two players agreed to |

Jan-19-12 de Firmian vs G Welling, 2011 
|
Uhohspaghettio: de Firmian gives white a (well in control) after 3... Qd6 in MCO-14. Then for something like the Vienna Game he will dismiss them as being equal. I don't know why he didn't just castle kingside instead of engaging in ... |
