May-10-15 Spassky vs Bronstein, 1960 
|
nestorparma: Another neat example of Najdorf's saying: "whenever Spassky sacks a piece it's time to resign" |

Mar-20-15 Caruana vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2014 
|
nestorparma: I prefer to think this was not just opening-lab job. Step-by-step intuitive moves which keep up increasing pressure (while just not screwing up)... could that be the only style to make Carsen nervous? My chess culture is not so great but something in the line of Andersen's way, ... |

Mar-12-15 Kasparov vs D Weider, 1977 
|
nestorparma: At his age back then, 14, one is allowed to say any nonsense. I just hope Gary noticed Dariusz was a young man!
Did he mean one special girl player at that tournament? |

Feb-22-15 Harrwitz vs Anderssen, 1848 
|
nestorparma: The final position, once Black missed Rxd3#, renders no forced mate for white nor black. White's king must leave alone Black's central pawns in order to survive. There is something wrong with the annotation. Was it a 1/2-1/2 game? White could've left Anderssen no other way out ... |

Jan-18-15 G Mohr vs Anand, 1988 
|
nestorparma: Mohr didn't even need his rook on h1. He rather founded the "No-Torre" attack variation! |

Jan-01-15 V Georgiev vs Iturrizaga Bonelli, 2008
|
nestorparma: It would never occur to me that such a sac should lead to White's advantadge. One needs a very special intuition (if lacking a sound theoretical background). Curiously, Stockfish or Critter see the Queen's sac two or three moves in advance, in exchange for a top advantage of ... |

Dec-25-14 Liri Nima Shirani vs Sevian, 2010
|
nestorparma: 9 years-old kids' game? Far braver and blood thirsty than their oldies! |

Dec-16-14 Karpov vs E Torre, 1987 
|
nestorparma: Again (like almost every time he lost to Karpov) Torre takes the initiative without enough backup. Too good that he got the will and guts to trying to win. Not many disagreed back then to sharing the point with the genial soviet world champion. |

Dec-15-14 E Torre vs Karpov, 1977
|
nestorparma: I enjoy Karpov's games and style, but I rather see here Torres to blame than Karpov to praise. |
