May-11-17 Spassky vs Korchnoi, 1977    der623: <Al Wazir> After 41.Qd3, Black plays Qxf4+ and the White King can go to either h3 or h5 after which Rxh2+ mates.      Sep-23-16 H Arnarsson vs S D Sigfusson, 2016   der623: <An Englishman> This would be a Falkbeer if White had captured on d5 at move 3 and Black pushed e4. This variation has multiple names, but here it is usually referred to as the Modern.      May-28-16 V Babula Sr vs Giri, 2015    der623: This opening transitioned into the Noteboom variation of the Triangle Slav which is interesting since Giri's wife has since done a series of videos on the Triangle Slav for Chess24.      Sep-21-15 Tal vs Spassky, 1954    der623: This is the second time I have seen a game where Spassky used someone's weapon against him. I think everyone knows of the famous King's Gambit game against Bronstein (The end of which was portrayed in the James Bond film From Russia with Love).      Sep-18-15 Kaidanov vs I Sorkin, 2014   der623: In the final position, Black must lose material because White is threatening to trap his Queen by Bd2. Black must play Bxc4 to created an escape square in a4 or Bc3, either way parting with a Bishop.      Aug-25-15 M Esserman vs Navara, 2015    der623: Esserman is one of the recognized authorities on the Smith-Morra, having beaten Loek van Wely with it. Why would he think that he could veer from his strength to take on a Super-GM in a mainstream Najdorf?      Aug-24-15 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984    der623: This may seem trivial, but after Karpov's 20th move, There are 7 pieces on the A file and 5 of them are Karpov's.      Jul-27-15 L Vajda vs Sutovsky, 2006    der623: <hedgeh0g> Actually Sutovsky ended up with three minor pieces for the Queen because White started the sequence by sacking the Knight to get the pin on the f6 Knight. In a semi open to closed position like this, once the minor pieces get coordinated, they are superior to the ...      Jun-15-15 Y Dokhoian vs Shabalov, 1994    der623: It is rare that a tactician like Shabalov winds up on the receiving end of such a king hunt.      May-29-15 J Houska vs S Agdestein, 2010   der623: Obviously, the score of the game is in error because the last ten moves do not make sense.      Mar-14-15 G Flear vs Sengupta, 2015    Mar-04-15 A White vs J Houska, 2014    Jun-09-14 S Paschmann vs Kurschat, 1986     May-25-13 L Kaufman vs B Sorensen, 2008    Dec-04-12 Bird vs Meitner, 1882     Dec-04-12 G Timoscenko vs J Bednarich, 1997     Nov-14-12 Kharlov vs Krasenkow, 1997     Nov-13-12 F de Castellvi vs N Vinyoles, 1475     Oct-31-12 Hill vs C Janeway, 1946     Aug-22-12 J Mullon vs Tkachiev, 2012    Aug-09-12 C Maier vs Kasimdzhanov, 2011     Jul-25-12 S Levitsky vs Marshall, 1912     Jun-05-12 Y Wang vs Y Hou, 2012     Mar-26-12 Fressinet vs M Jurcik, 2012     Mar-26-12 Lasker vs St. E M Sala, 1901     Mar-13-12 Smirin vs de Firmian, 1995     Jan-27-12 M Fette vs R Storm, 1991     Sep-17-11 Nakamura vs I Krush, 2011     Sep-06-11 Keres vs P Troeger, 1960     Aug-03-11 V Akobian vs I Abdelnabbi, 2000     Jul-18-11 Ehlvest vs Browne, 2006    Jul-17-11 E El Gindy vs A Moiseenko, 2011     Jul-17-11 Vitiugov vs R Hess, 2011     Jul-12-11 Gelfand vs Dreev, 2007    Jun-28-11 Kholmov vs Tseshkovsky, 1978     Mar-23-11 J Smorenberg vs A Bhuiyan, 2000     Jan-16-11 A Teloeken vs G Welling, 1996     Jan-11-11 Adams vs Kasparov, 2005     Jun-23-10 Benjamin vs Lenderman, 2010     May-14-10 K Aseev vs V Nevostrujev, 2002     May-09-10 M Hebden vs W F Buchanan, 2009    Apr-08-10 Kasparov vs P Nikolic, 1994     Mar-22-10 Nepomniachtchi vs Jobava, 2010     Jan-04-10 Rozentalis vs Wojtaszek, 2010     Nov-18-09 Naiditsch vs Carlsen, 2009     Oct-31-09 Rublevsky vs A Volzhin, 1995     Oct-16-09 Avrukh vs H Rudolf, 2009     Oct-06-09 V Malakhov vs T Fiebig, 2009     Sep-12-09 M Erdogdu vs A Aleksandrov, 2009    Jul-25-09 Dautov vs Krasenkow, 2002     Jul-22-09 A Bollengier vs F Babar, 1993     Jul-18-09 Ganguly vs T Hommeles, 2009    Jun-30-09 Alekhine vs A Fletcher, 1928     Jun-18-09 Shabalov vs R Elseth, 1991     Jun-09-09 B Alterman vs Chernin, 1993    Jun-03-09 Tal vs Koblents, 1957     Jun-01-09 J Zhang vs Z Tan, 2009    Mar-21-09 Navara vs I Cheparinov, 2009     Mar-16-09 V Ruban vs Miles, 1988     Mar-01-09 N Chadaev vs A Aleksandrov, 2009    Feb-15-09 M J Turner vs G Buckley, 2008    Jan-24-09 P Straub vs K El Amari, 2006    Jan-13-09 A Bets vs V Moskalenko, 1999    Jan-13-09 V Moskalenko vs J Cuadras Avellana, 2006     Jan-13-09 V Moskalenko vs Y Lapshun, 2006    Jan-12-09 Avrukh vs I Sokolov, 2004     Jan-08-09 Kasimdzhanov vs C Flear, 1997     Jan-05-09 M Mohammed Abdul vs M Pavlovic, 2009     Jan-01-09 J Rowson vs S Velasco, 2008    Jul-17-08 Morozevich vs I Sokolov, 2008     Jul-08-08 I Chighladze vs I Popov, 2008    Jun-12-08 Nakamura vs Mamedyarov, 2005    Jun-08-08 Wojtkiewicz vs R Kuczynski, 1990     May-18-08 L Barczay vs Sosonko, 1977     Apr-19-08 Topalov vs D Reinderman, 1999     Mar-08-08 A Baburin vs J van de Mortel, 1993     Feb-17-08 C Csiszar vs B Purton, 2006     Sep-02-07 Sutovsky vs Ponomariov, 2006     Aug-30-07 Rybka vs Ehlvest, 2007     Aug-26-07 F Vallejo Pons vs D Mastrovasilis, 2007    Aug-24-07 Browne vs R Costigan, 2006     Aug-23-07 G Magnusson vs Ehlvest, 2004    Aug-13-07 Van Wely vs P K Wells, 2007
