Nov-20-18 Carlsen - Caruana World Championship Match (2018) 
| |
| pferd: It’s been a great match so far. Midway through the second half and the score is nil-nil, but there have been chances. Carlsen dinged one off the post in game one, and Caruana has done so twice - in games 6 and 8. If the chess is of high quality, and creative, we cannot complain if ... |

Jul-21-11 Dortmund Sparkassen (2011)
| |
| pferd: <Kinghunt: Slightly off topic, but what do people think about Kasimdzhanov's proposal: "We play classical chess, say with a time control of four to five hours. Draw? No problem – change the colours, give us 20 minutes each and replay. Draw again? Ten minutes each, change the ... |

Jul-19-11 Carlsen vs Shirov, 2011
| |
| pferd: <pferd: Of course Carlsen had an answer for 31...Nxd5, but what was it? hedgeh0g: Probably 32. Qb5+.>
Yeah, probably but I was hoping for a wee bit more analysis after obvious replies like 32...Kf7 and 33...Kg8 |

Jul-12-11 O Sulypa vs Kupreichik, 1989
| |
| pferd: <vsiva1: what about 21....rb8, probably, 22.RXf7 RXf7 23. exf7 Bd7. Black may not loose power Sastre: White is winning after 24.Ne8 Rxe8 25.fxe8Q+ Bxe8 26.Bxb6.> After 21...Rb8 I like 22.Ng6+ hxg6 23.e7 |

| pferd: Check (there's only one). Check again (there's still only one). Whoops, it's mate. |

Apr-15-11 G Swathi vs Short, 2011
| |
| pferd: <Sneaky: "White to Move. What's the probability here?" A more interesting question regarding that diagram may be, "What was Black's previous move to lead up to this position?"> I think the answer is that Black's previous move was a capture (perhaps KxQ). I suspect the position ... |

Oct-25-10 Sultan Khan vs G A Thomas, 1933
| |
| pferd: I'm sure that the database contains many G.A.Thomas wins, but it's his losses that make him famous. Consider Capablanca vs G A Thomas, 1919 or Menchik vs G A Thomas, 1932
or Ed Lasker vs G A Thomas, 1912 |

Oct-14-10 Anand vs Shirov, 2010
| |
| pferd: <visayanbraindoctor:
This is one really messy game. Anand's fans will have to forgive him for understandably missing those computer-like moves. [23.h6] > I don't think 23.h6 is a computer move - just a good move. On a different day, or with longer time control, Anand (or ... |
