Apr-02-22 So vs Nakamura, 2015
|
erniecohen: I can't believe I missed this game the first time around. (Svidler just mentioned it while commenting on the Grand Prix final.) Great game combined with one of the better puns in recent memory. |

Mar-18-22 Bogoljubov vs Ahues, 1930 
|
erniecohen: <al wazir> Stockfish says it's even after 30. ♖eg1 ♕xg1+ 31. ♖xg1+ ♔xh7 32. exf4 ♖e4 33. f5 ♖xe4+ 34. ♔e2 ♖f4 35. ♖g5. But Black can interpose 29... ♕f3+ to eliminate the pin. |

Feb-20-22 P Lafuente vs Shredder, 2005
|
erniecohen: <thegoldenband> MD5 hashes are 128 bits; the chance of hitting a collision in a 128-bit random function really is astronomical. Finding MD5 collisions depends on structural weaknesses in the hash function itself. It's far from trivial; it took mathematicians about 15 years ... |

Feb-12-22 Ganguly vs Kryvoruchko, 2018 
|
erniecohen: Not exactly a convincing POD. Stockfish seems to think Black has a draw up to move 69. |

Feb-10-22 A Esipenko vs Nakamura, 2022 
|
erniecohen: I assume the worst part of being a GM is being humiliated by the computer in the postgame interview when the moves you say were good were actually bad and vice versa. |

|
erniecohen: Perhaps add a stockfish filter to daily puzzles to avoid cooks? |

Jan-23-22 Tassilo von der Lasa 
|
erniecohen: Chessmetrics reckons von der Lasa world #1 for 15 months, and in the top 2 for 4 years. |

Dec-03-21 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2021 
|
erniecohen: <keypusher: 12.Nce5 Nb4! and Black is fine.> 13.♕b1 and Black is in some trouble. But 12...♗d4 seems okay. |

Nov-29-21 Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi World Championship Match (2021) 
|
erniecohen: <jphamlore> I think there is something to be said for allowing players to agree in advance to make a game unrated, even in a tournament. (Of course, for a norm, all of your games must be rated.) |
