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.) |

Nov-25-21 Curt von Bardeleben
| |
| erniecohen: Lasker wasn't kidding. As documented in Winter's article, Von Bardeleben was married 10 times (each to a different woman) between 1902 and 1919. |
|
|
|
Nov-18-21 Ivanchuk vs Anand, 1992
| |
| erniecohen: Stockfish has gotten better, apparently. It now chooses 17... gxf6 and (after 19.♖g1) 20...♗c4 as its preferred lines pretty much immediately. |
|
|
|
Oct-31-21 Houdini vs Stockfish, 2013
| |
| erniecohen: Looks like a GM draw in which the ref intervened and forced them to play. |
|
|
|
Oct-30-21 M Gurevich vs Gipslis, 1985
| |
| erniecohen: Why are fully grown GMs playing out a K+P vs K endgame? |
|
|
|
May-02-21 Greenfeld vs P Kacirek, 1995
| |
| erniecohen: From the Stockfish game annotations:
10.♘e2 better is 10.♘e2 |
|
|
|
Apr-21-21 Caruana vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2021
| |
| erniecohen: <Ulhumbrus: The commentators ( Carlsen, Howell, Sachdev) indicated that 18 Bc4!! was an innovation, an innovation to which Vachier-Lagrave will have to prepare an answer the next time.> Stockfish reckons 18.♗c4? a blunder, so I don't think we're going to see this ... |
|
|
|
Dec-22-20 Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914
| |
| erniecohen: While 17♗xb5 is nice, it's worth noting the more obvious 17.♘g5 ♘gf6 18.♘e6 ♕d6 19.♘xg7+ ♔f8 20.♘f5. |
|
|
|
Nov-09-20 Gufeld vs Tal, 1959
| |
| erniecohen: <DrGridlock> Actually, your position is very very winning, because the black ♔ is cut off from the pawns and the White ♔ is not. This will soon be K+R+3P vs K+R. |
