Jul-06-25 Caruana vs So, 2025

fabelhaft: The position after 48 moves is fascinating. Caruana just messed up a win, but a8Q looks good, right? Not really, since Nf2+ then is mate in three [DIAGRAM] |

Jul-04-25 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008 
|
fabelhaft: <I would never drop a '?' on that move. I'm pretty sure I would never have spotted 34...Ne3> But on World Championship level I’d say it deserves a ”?”. The position goes from equal to lost in one move, and Anand found it without having to spend all that much time. ... |

fabelhaft: It has changed rather much in just a couple of decades, with World Champions playing events like Norway Chess (2025)/Dommaraju Gukesh or
GRENKE Chess Classic (2019)/Magnus Carlsen compared to Linares (2004)/Vladimir Kramnik |

Jun-23-25 London (1851) 
|
fabelhaft: Russian Marxist agitators in London 1851 would be something quite rare indeed. Maybe you could have found one for London (1899) |
