Apr-05-02 Z Almasi vs Gelfand, 2002 
| |
| knight: After 26.bxa3 ...b2! is too strong. A good example of the blocking up of the opponents' pawn attack while opening up lines with your own pawn assault. |

Apr-05-02 Shirov vs J Piket, 2002
| |
| knight: I think that Shirov knowing that he would pick up three pawns for his piece did not have to do too much thinking to convince himself of the soundness of 27.Nxg6+! |

Apr-05-02 Chigorin vs Schiffers, 1880
| |
| knight: It was way to dangerous for black to snatch the e-pawn. |

Apr-05-02 Yanofsky vs Botvinnik, 1946
| |
| knight: Botvinniks' decision to allow his pawns to be doubled on the queenside is a controversial one,perhaps it would have been better to retreat his knight on the seventeenth move. |

| |
| knight: If white takes the bishop then it is indeed a perpertual. |

Mar-23-02 Blatny vs W Seifried, 1991
| |
| knight: The half open e file available to his rooks is also a plus factor for white if black exchanges on f4. |

Mar-21-02 B Larsen vs Y Gruenfeld, 1979
| |
| knight: If 11.Rxd6?! could have worked at all it was in the middlegame not the ending.27...Nd4+ was unnecessary.Gruenfeld should have done a better job keeping Larsen's king out. |

Mar-21-02 H Jonkman vs F Arp, 1998
| |
| knight: Black did not develop his pieces fast enough, he did not secure his king well enough, and he left his queen without enough room. |

Mar-21-02 J Hannah vs T Barnes, 1862
| |
| knight: The spectacular looking 22.Rxe6 is actually not so strong as 22...Ra6 was an excellent defense,Black would have responded to 23.Rxa6 with 23...Qxb2,but White should have tried that anyway, 23.Re8+ was a definite mistake.Hannah probably meant to defend himself with 25.Re3 noticing too |
