Jun-26-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs A Erigaisi, 2025 
| |
| greed and death: A piece of advice that has rarely steered me wrong is "don't give up a fianchettoed king's bishop unless its for the opponent's same-color bishop". Erigaisi opts to ignore this with 15... Bxc3 and while it may not have been a decisive mistake in and of itself, by the final ... |

| |
| greed and death: "Sovtorgsluzhashchie" (Совторгслужащие) are members of a trade union for workers in the trade/retail/sales industry, coming from mashing together the phrase "sovietskiy torgovyy sluzhashchiy"(советский торговый служащий) |

Nov-26-24 Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024)
| |
| greed and death: The "Ding Liren" vs "Liren Ding" debate obscures the fact that the challenger likewise suffers(?) from the same affliction. Dommaraju is a patronymic, the player should be referred to as Gukesh. Of course the chess world should be at least somewhat familiar with patronymics ... |

Oct-24-24 United States Championship (2024)
| |
| greed and death: Aronian and Niemann will almost certainly qualify to the World Cup via rating even if they don't via a tournament placing. In 2023 Wang Hao was the final rating qualifier with an Elo of 2709, which both Aronian and Niemann are currently above. |

Aug-28-24 Russian Championship (2024)
| |
