Jul-19-15 Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2014 
| |
| echever7: 37. Qf1 wins the black knight on c4 That's would be a nice finish. (37...Nd6 38. Rh6. Everyone knows now the threat Rxh7) |

Jul-16-15 Wei Yi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2015
| |
| echever7: Everyone's praising 36 Be1 as "exceptional". In fact, Be1 is an easy move to see if you take into consideration that black's mating in one: Qg2++. It was a fantastic game though |

Jan-27-15 Tata Steel Masters (2015)
| |
| echever7: It seems Aronians decline began with no winning the candidates last year. May be he feels it was his last opportunity to dispute the world championship due to his age... I mean, he should remember Gelfand... |

Jan-27-15 Carlsen vs Y Hou, 2015
| |
| echever7: <Ulhumbrus> 47. Qd1 is not exactly a "waiting move". It poses the inmediate threat 48.Nxe5 and- if the knight is taken- 48. Qd8+ For me this game could be the best Carlsens game in the tournament.A Karpovian masterpiece. But just 'could'... |

Dec-22-14 Anatoly Karpov
| |
| echever7: It's notable how Karpov dominated over the players of his generation (post-Fischer). I would say a "failed generation". The likes of Timman, Hübner, Ulf Andersson,Eugenio Torrre, Tony Miles...and soviets like Tumakov, Balashov..They didn't make it. Only older ones (Korchnoi)or ... |

Jul-23-14 Carlsen vs Z Andriasian, 2003
| |
| echever7: <iM4> <I don't know if this move was overlooked, but after 24.Qxg4, Black can force a queen trade at Qf5+> Yes, you're right...and Carlsen gives mat in two. |

Jul-23-14 A Rodriguez Vila vs Carlsen, 2014
| |
| echever7: Why did the white resign??? He could try 22.Qxb6 hoping for 22...Qxa3 and then 23.Qxd8+ ;) :D |

Jul-23-14 Carlsen vs Giri, 2014
| |
| echever7: <posoo> If 24. Bxf3 follows 24...e4 with the double attack to f3 and b2. 28. Rxc8 it's not an atrocity. Carlsen is a pawn up, and a good bishop with queen-side majority. The endgame must be good for him. So let's change figures |

May-28-14 Aronian vs Anand, 2011
| |
| echever7: <Mr. Bojangles: Anand losing in 25 moves? Had to believe....> In fact, there's a game that Anand lost...in six moves. Check out Zapata-Anand |
