Jan-10-18 Jobava vs Aronian, 2004 
|
millert: Aronian is a magician. None of this should work for Black and yet somehow it does. |

Jul-22-17 Khismatullin vs I Smirnov, 2006
|
millert: Something is wrong with the game score. White drops his queen on move 21 but Black doesn't take. |

Nov-19-15 Leko vs Carlsen, 2015 
|
millert: 13. Nxe7+ seems to give White a lot of problems which Carlsen exploited perfectly. After 13. Nxf6+ Bxf6 14.d4 White has a locked in bishop but he can eventually unlock by playing c3, R(a) to somewhere and Bb1 so his game seems playable to me. It seems that 12. Nd5 c4! gives Black ... |

Jul-12-15 Portisch vs C Meleghegyi, 1979 
|
millert: It seems to me 23. ... Qd4+ wins because Be3 is answered by 24. ... Rxf3 and if white takes the queen 25. ... Bxd4+ 26. Kh1 Rxf1 mate so Black wins a piece at the least. |

Jul-10-15 Wang Chen vs Wei Yi, 2015 
|
millert: He didn't let Yi finish the brilliancy. 20. Nf1 Rxf 21. Bf4 Black to play and win. |

Feb-27-15 Anderssen vs V Knorre, 1865 
|

Nov-02-14 Morozevich vs S Chekhov, 2014 
|
millert: Yes, this was an easier problem. I agree with Eduardo. Maybe a Wednesday problem. |

Oct-10-14 D Andreikin vs Caruana, 2014 
|
millert: So Caruana winning streak started after losing the Carlsen's Scandinavian in the Chess Olympiad and it ended when he lost to Andreikin's Scandinavian. Well Caruana still has a chance to set the record for the longest winning streak when not playing or facing the Scandinavian :) |

Jun-11-14 M Klinova vs D Spence, 2006 
|
millert: Klinova should have played 38. Rd8+ instead of grabbing the pawn on h5. It's a crusher because after 38. ... Nxd8 39. Qxd8+ Kb7 40. Qc7+ followed by 41. Qb8 mate. |

Mar-21-14 Biographer Bistro 
|
millert: I knew Alejandro Nogues Acuna. He was an IM. His bio doesn't indicate that. There are only 16 games of his in the chess games database. The one with Vukovic is fake -- pieces are left hanging at several points during the game. |
