Jan-29-20 E Hansen vs K Grigoryan, 2012   mistreaver: Ouch! 34... Qe6 - what a blunder!      May-06-19 World Junior Championship (2012)   mistreaver: Was this one of the strongest Junior Championships of all times? Just look at that line-up. Almost everyone went on to become a well-known grandmaster.      May-07-18 Ivan Saric    mistreaver: Recent interview with Ivan http://chessentials.com/ivan-saric-...      May-01-17 Eljanov vs Kramnik, 2017    mistreaver: Instead of 39 Qc2?, it appears that 39 Qb2 would win. Although it is hard to allow the check on d3 in time trouble, a sample line goes: 39 Qb2 Qd3+ 40 Kg1 Qe4 [DIAGRAM] And now 41 f3! Qxf3 42 Qg2! [DIAGRAM] forced a queen exchange, and transposes into winning ...      May-01-17 Gashimov Memorial (2017)    mistreaver: My analysis of some key games of the tournament: http://www.chessentials.com/categor...      Apr-30-17 Wojtaszek vs Mamedyarov, 2017    mistreaver: <Ulhumbrus> is right. 13... Qd7!? is a serious alternative. The point is not only the attack on queen, but also the following: after 13.. Qd7!? 14 Qh4 h5! [DIAGRAM] White now can't go 15 Rg1 due to 15... Qg4! and Black is probably winning. I made full analysis of the game      Apr-25-17 Karjakin vs Topalov, 2017    mistreaver: There were several very interesting moments in this fantastic game. For instance, at move 17, the preparatory 17 a4 was worth considering. After 17... a6 18 Ng5 Qxe5 loses immediately: [DIAGRAM] 19 Nd5! (taking advantage of the undefended bishop on b6) Qxb2 20 Nxb6 Rb8 21 Nc4 ...      Apr-23-17 Wojtaszek vs Topalov, 2017    mistreaver: I am of opinion that Topalov's 16... d4? was premature. Rado could have replied 17 e4! and after 17... 0-0 18 0-0 Rfe8 19 f3 White has a nice position: [DIAGRAM] Instead, 16... g5!?, quietly improving the position, might have been more appropriate 17 Rc2 Kf8!? 18 0-0 Ng4 19 h3 ...      Apr-23-17 Viktor Korchnoi    mistreaver: My two percent about Korchnoi career, with some key games analyzed in detail: http://www.chessentials.com/best-ch...      Apr-23-17 So vs Mamedyarov, 2017    mistreaver: It would appear that on the 31th move Black has the stronger 31... Kb8. It is not entirely clear why that is a better move, but let us continue the variation with 32 b4 Bd4 33 Qd3 as in the game: [DIAGRAM] Now, Black can continue with 33... g4! because after 34 b5 f3+ 35 gxf3
