| greenfield67: As you mentioned recently, <FSR>, long overdue... |

Mar-24-20 Ivkov vs Gufeld, 1964
| |
| greenfield67: <al wazir> 30. Nh5, and the g6 pawn is now pinned to the queen. |

| greenfield67: Currently dismantling Jorge Cori in their match at Hoogeveen. 2726 live rating, with a bullet. Give him the Candidates wildcard! |

| greenfield67: Pretty sure Ding was singled out because on classical games alone he would be in equal first place at +2. |

Apr-30-19 Carlsen vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2019
| |
| greenfield67: MVL may have given up a pawn for next to nothing. But Carlsen still had to: choose the recapture exf3; choose to play against the c5-pawn; see, at move 24, that the extra pawn could be maintained by 33.Bd5. That's probably a routine conversion for Carlsen, but it still required |

Feb-01-19 E Rotunno vs Alekhine, 1938
| |
| greenfield67: Missed 37...Qe2. I think 37...Qg5+ 38.Kh1 Rg4 still wins, though. And because it looked like a puzzle solution (offering the rook to get the queen to the back rank), I stopped looking for better options. |

| |
| greenfield67: Nice similarity between the game of the day and the puzzle. |

Aug-31-18 E Schallopp vs W Paulsen, 1888
| |
| greenfield67: Am I missing something, or would 47...Qe3+ have been better? |

Aug-31-18 S Williams vs D Guthrie, 2017
| |
| greenfield67: I did the whole thing without Rxf7 and ...Rh8. I think it works too, although at some stage Black gets to go back to the 7th rank and you need a rook lift. |
