Jun-16-25 V Kahn vs O Bernstein, 1926

| mjmorri: Got it. But yes <FSR> it was a little hard for a Monday. |

Jun-04-25 Rapport vs Fressinet, 2015
| |
| mjmorri: I saw some tactics involving the unguarded Queen, but didn't see any real material gain and a clear way to move forward. |

Oct-18-24 C Yoo vs Caruana, 2024
| |
| mjmorri: <keypusher> I take exception to Big Bushy Sideburns. I the other stuff I agree with. |

Aug-11-23 G Oparin vs N Shukh, 2011
| |
| mjmorri: Intuitively, it looks like the puzzle solution involves sacrifices on g7 combined with the opening of the long diagonal for the White Bishop. The devil, of course, is in the details. |

Apr-04-23 NN vs E Daniels, 1842
| |
| mjmorri: <ajk68: 10. Nc3 (retreating the knight) in a King's Gambit even feels wrong.
If you're going to play 2. f4, you better be all-in.>
Yeah, and the retreat 12.Ne1 was also too slow of an idea. |

Mar-27-23 Dlugy vs Alburt, 1991
| |
| mjmorri: <Honza Cervenka> Re1+ is certainly deadly, but I hope you have not lost any sleep over this these past 19 years. |

| mjmorri: The old lion roars again. |

Aug-25-22 Rached Barhoumi vs Sasikiran, 2006
| |
| mjmorri: Is this game real? Surely even an 1100 rated player could not play this badly. |

Apr-19-22 L Milov vs D Seyb, 2006
| |
| mjmorri: <Honza Cervenka: 22...Qc4 was a mistake allowing 23.Nf5!!, which is the beginning of white's winning combination. After 22...Qb7 or 22...Bxg5 black is fine.> I wonder if Black saw 23.Nf5 but overlooked 26.Bc1. |

Feb-24-22 A W Fox vs Karper, 1900
| |
| mjmorri: <Granny O Doul: Up until 20. Bb6, this was one of the worst played games in the history of chess.>
My problem is up until that point, I understood the game completely. :-) |
