Jan-09-21 D Berczes vs G Morrison, 2011    Zkid: Presumably Black actually played 33...Nxb5 and the game was entered wrong.      Nov-27-17 Karjakin vs B Deac, 2017    Zkid: Undoubtedly Black really wanted to play f5, but unfortunately for him 23...f5 fails to 24. Qb3, when fxe4 Qxe6+, Qe7 Nxg5, and Re8 Nxf5 are all dismal for Black.      Oct-14-16 Shabalov vs G Jones, 2016    Zkid: Interesting that in the final position, after Qe5+ Rg7 wins and Kh7 loses, while after Qf6+ Kh7 wins and Rg7 loses.      Mar-08-15 Spassky vs Ivkov, 1968    Zkid: In reference to the drawish record (+2 =13) between Spassky and Ivkov, they must have been close friends or something. The longest draw was 30 moves and all but three were 20 or less. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...      Feb-03-15 D Baramidze vs Aronian, 2015    Zkid: <gezafan> Black can respond with ...Qd4.      Jan-16-15 Van Kampen vs Shankland, 2015    Zkid: My guess is White thought that he had 23. Qg4 Nxf2 24. Qxg6, and only now saw 24...Be8.      Dec-26-14 Grischuk vs Topalov, 2012   Zkid: I wonder why Topalov didn't try 42...Kd6 (or maybe 41...f6) with winning chances in 4 v 3. Maybe they were both low on time by the end, or he was confident Grischuk could hold it.      Dec-12-14 Zvjaginsev vs Milov, 1995    Zkid: <Whitehat1963> I meant in the listed game continuation, that either the move 29. Bxc3, or (after 29. Bc1) 29...Nxa4 would win a piece. I think the point is 30. Rxe5! Qxe5 31. Nxc3 and if 31...dxc3 32. Qxd6, threatening Qxe5+.      Dec-03-14 O Girya vs N Pogonina, 2014   Zkid: <Nerwal>'s position is very interesting. I actually can't find a secure win for white... maybe someone else can? After 33...exd4 34. Nxc7 d3: A) 35. Qf3 d2 36. Qd1 Rxc7 37. Qxd2. I don't think White's winning here. B) 35. Ne8!? B1) 35...d2 36. Nf6+ Kf7 37. Nxd7 d1=Q 38. Qf4+ ...      Nov-29-14 C A Martinez vs V van Riemsdijk, 1993    Zkid: <americanlala> 27.Bxf7 Kh8 doesn't mean much unless you see 28. Qxh7 anyway.
