Apr-24-07 E Polihroniade vs K Spraggett, 1993
| |
| johnnyfroaction: bizarre game, white seems to be lost from about move 9. maybe shoulda played 8. Ne1 and 9. f4 and fianchettoed the dark bishop. The ending from about 27 on is well played by black, nice shot with 35. Ng2. |

| |
| johnnyfroaction: just his setup with the black pieces, it looks like the sheshnikov or kan or some kind of sicilian setup. |

| |

Mar-03-07 Morozevich vs Leko, 2007
| |
| johnnyfroaction: seems like 27...Bc8 and 28...Bf5 are good examples of when NOT to trade down into simplifications when up in material. losing the light squared bishop allows the plan of getting the knight to e6 and keeping it there, where it is better than either of blacks rooks. |

Feb-02-07 A Karpov / Allies vs N Short / Allies, 2007
| |
| johnnyfroaction: The Wilkes-Barre Variation 4...Bc5!? looks crazy--Black ignores White's threat to f7--yet there is no known refutation of it. In Europe, it is known as the Traxler Variation.
