Aug-29-19 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1987 
| |
| nelech: I am frustrated that no extensive analysis of this truly historic endgame has been published. Kasparov just wrote that for him the chances of a win and a draw seemed ruoghly equal and that Karpov assessed his chances more pessimistically, 30% for a draw against 70% for a win. |

Sep-22-17 Maxime Vachier-Lagrave
| |
| nelech: Allez Maxime, la qualification est à votre portée. Il ne faut pas compter sur la wild card ( elle ira certainement à Kramnik ), donc il faut se qualifier lors du dernier Grand Prix. La France échiquéenne est derrière vous |

Feb-18-16 Botvinnik vs Smyslov, 1957
| |
| nelech: Instead of 29 b4 ,two moves seem very strong: 29 Rç7 and 29 Nxd6. Botvinnik's position was probably winning |

| nelech: 19...O-O? was a suicide. Instead, was not it possible to play 19...Rxb2!?(although very risky)? |
