May-01-07 Teichmann vs NN, 1914 
| |
| chiguire: 11. ..cxb5??
My friend fritz says that 11. ..Nf5 would have kept him in the game, putting pressure on the whites queen and maintaining defense on the b5 diaganol |

| chiguire: 28. ..g6 would have prevented it, no? |

Jun-13-06 J Degraeve vs J Tomczak, 2006
| |
| chiguire: After 14...b5 why doesn't black ever take the whites bishop on c4? The opportunity is there for quite a while. Does black not want to give white the open file, or does he not want white to play Nc4 and force his queen off d6? Please tell me what I am overlooking. |

Jun-09-06 J Matschego vs Falkbeer, 1853
| |
| chiguire: 14.Nxc7+ white forks the king and the rook. Why doesn't he go through with the fork and take out the rook?
Is there something obvious that I am missing?
It probably wouldn't have helped hime that much but why fork and then back out? |

Jun-02-06 L Popov vs I Rogers, 1986
| |
| chiguire: Is it customary for a player to resign on his opponent's turn?
White plays 47.Kf3 and then resigns, is this normal? |

| |
| chiguire: Wow, what a great finish, and all the while gaurding c8 and e6. That must have been a frustrating demise for Zhong. |

May-15-06 M Hewitt vs Steinitz, 1866
| |
| chiguire: It seems that Steinitz didn't give Hewitt any room to breath from the get go. It must have been a suffocating feeling for Hewitt, and the ending tactical play must have left him dumbfounded. Great Game! |
