   May-05-23 Anand vs Svidler, 1999
 
okiesooner: Here are some notes on this game, from chessbase.com https://de.chessbase.com/portals/3/...
 
   Jan-08-23 Tal vs Spassky, 1965 (replies)
 
okiesooner: Writing in Chess Life (February 1966, page 47), commentator Bernard Zuckerman wrote “After the game Spassky said that he had seen the quickest way to draw [after 23. Bd1] : 23…Bxd3 24. Bxh5 Bxc4 25. Rxc4 Nxe3 26. fxe3 Bd2.” If this sequence draws, why would Black resign ...
 
   Jul-30-22 J Pinter vs Karpov, 1993 (replies)
 
okiesooner: 74...Nxd3+ 75. Kxd3 Kd5 should win for Black.
 
   Feb-20-22 Bacrot vs Smyslov, 1996
 
okiesooner: If 26...Nc5 27. Bc4 Rxb2 28. Bc3 wins the Exchange.
 
   Nov-17-21 Bareev vs Topalov, 2002
 
okiesooner: <There seems to be some interesting possibilities after 23.g6> How does White hold on after 23...Qh4?

okiesooner: We in the U.S. are doing a miserable job dealing with the pandemic. People here are incredibly selfish. We Americans could learn much from New Zealand's experience.
 
   Aug-22-21 Keres vs Kholmov, 1948
 
okiesooner: Why would White play 14. Be3 after having played 13. Bd2 on the previous move?
 
   May-11-21 Onischuk vs Radjabov, 2007
 
okiesooner: After 46. c8=N+ Rxc8 47. Bd4+ Qxd4 48. Qxc8, Black can force a draw with 48...Qd2+ (rather than 48...Qe4+) 49. Kg3 Qc3+ 50. Kxg4 Qg7+.
 
   Apr-21-21 Steinitz vs Lasker, 1896
 
okiesooner: If 23. Be7 Qa6 24. Bxh4 Rxh4 25. Qg3+, White should gain a draw by repetition after 25...Kh5 26. Qf3+ Kg6 (or 26...Kg5) 27 Qg3+. Does White have anything better?
 
   Dec-18-20 Hort vs Portisch, 1968 (replies)
 
okiesooner: If 25...Rxb3 White cannot play 26. Rxd5?? because of the bank-rank mate. And after 25...Rb4 as in the game, if 26. f4 26...Bd4+ blunders away the Bishop. Here if 26...Bb2 27 Rfxd5. The other White Rook can stay on the first rank to forestall a possible back-rank mate.
