| autolycus: I'm sad that I never really knew him despite being a fairly long-time member. The site has always been well-run and may it continue to be so. RIP, Mr Freeman, and may memories of you live long. |

Mar-25-16 Nakamura vs Anand, 2016
| |
| autolycus: On the other hand, both Anand's bishops are pointed in the right direction. Question is how he is going to block the b2h8 diagonal. |

Nov-21-14 Anand vs Carlsen, 2014
| |
| autolycus: Maybe Carlsen's going to take his chances with two pawns for a piece. |

Mar-04-11 B Socko vs Naiditsch, 2008
| |
| autolycus: Yay I got the exact line in the annotation! I thought it was too easy for a Friday puzzle though. So I worked out how White gets mated no matter what he does if he doesn't take on f4. |

Feb-14-11 Pillsbury vs Maroczy, 1900
| |
| autolycus: This game can probably be titled <Greed Kills>. |

Jan-29-11 Miles vs R Jamieson, 1992
| |
| autolycus: Isn't this the Wade-Tartakower Defense? Please don't say that CG has joined the ranks of those who misspell the great man's name... |

Jan-20-11 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010
| |
| autolycus: Shakespeare has Shylock say, in <Merchant of Venice>, Act 1 Scene 3, "Ho! No, no, no, no." It happens again with Lear in <King Lear>, Act 5 Scene 3, where he says, "No, no, no, no!" That's a quadruple negative. |

Dec-02-10 A Rustemov vs R Vera, 2002
| |
| autolycus: <Chesschatology: This puzzle is really about jute trading in mid sixteenth century Bengal.> When I read that, I thought <Once> and then I had a second thought: 'The material is even.' |
