Nov-14-10 Gelfand vs Mamedyarov, 2010
| |
| perkychesscat: Why didn't Mamedyarov play 26..RxB, and then
27 pxB Qg4check
28 Kf1 Qg2check
29 Ke1 Qg1 check and wins the rook
What am I overlooking? |

Jun-08-10 Gelfand vs F Vallejo Pons, 2010
| |
| perkychesscat: I think 28..Qc2 is a really nice shot at a failed defensive resource! |

| |
| perkychesscat: How many times do you think Irina has heard the pun about "crushing" her opponents? |

Oct-30-09 H Munoz Sotomayor vs H Salazar Jacob, 1990
| |
| perkychesscat: Is it totally certain black wins? White does have 4 pawns (2 connected ones) and the Rook (though 1 will fall right away). But black's King is way out of commission. |

May-03-09 O Gavrilov vs S Solovjov, 2005
| |
| perkychesscat: Fezzik, I wonder if there's any way for White to try to setup a fortress after 31 Qxf4. No chance of a draw? |

Apr-25-09 Breyer vs J Esser, 1917
| |
| perkychesscat: Am I blind, or why can't white just play 29. Ke2 with the threat of Rh1 mate? If 29...BxB, 30.Rh1 Bh4 and now either g3 or simply Qh6 with RxB to follow and win? |

Mar-25-09 V Malakhatko vs Timoshenko, 2003
| |
| perkychesscat: Easy to miss Ng4 because it's not a very sexy move. Just a preparatory move that can't be refuted. |

Feb-20-09 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2009
| |
| perkychesscat: I must be blind but doesn't 22 BxR 22..BxR 23 BxN win a piece for white? And if 22 BxR 23..RxB 24 Rfe1 win at least the exchange? |

Feb-03-09 Romanishin vs Giri, 2009
| |
| perkychesscat: What's wrong with 91 Bb3? If 91..Bd1, then they exchange bishops, and white grabs black's f pawn, and I think his f pawn queens before black. |
