Mar-27-18 World Championship Candidates (2018) 
|
Zaiyetz: Going to the candidates does not mean that Aronian's ship has sailed. If Korchnoi qualified for the 1968 candidates when he was 37, and went up against Karpov when he was 43, Aronian still has plenty of chess to play. Korchnoi and Aronian may be different, but it is still possible ... |

Aug-16-17 Kasparov vs Navara, 2017 
|

Feb-20-17 Vachier-Lagrave vs C Li, 2017 
|
Zaiyetz: 27... Ba2 is not possible due to the threat of hxg6, followed by gxf7+ or gxh7+. Should black decide to recapture with a pawn on g6, white can take with the bishop on g6 which is a lost position for black. Example variation: 27...Ba2 28. hxg6 bxb1 29. gxh7+ Kxh7 30 Qg7# |

Feb-26-16 Yermolinsky vs P Hummel, 1999 
|
Zaiyetz: This looks like a line out of the Benoni. |

Dec-30-15 Alekhine vs Nimzowitsch, 1931 
|
Zaiyetz: This reminds me of the Ryder gambit if white had played 9 Be3. |
