Jan-17-22 A Bisguier vs Petrosian, 1954   pikket: According to Petrosian's Python Strategy, the idea of Qd8 is to get d-file pressure after 24. f5 ...Ne5! Then if Bxe5 ...dxe5 and the d2 Knight is pinned. Black will get in ...Qd4 with a strong pos. If White doesn't capture on e5, Black's two central Knights give him solid ...      Jan-08-22 Pilnik vs Petrosian, 1952    pikket: According to Petrosian's Python Strategy Salo Flohr came to his room to help analyse the adjourned position after 42 Qa8+. They couldn't find a defense: "After a little more perfunctory grumbling, he was about to leave, making the parting remark that such a position *couldn't* be ...      Jun-16-20 Svidler vs V Malakhov, 1997   pikket: 58. Kxa6 seems to win also. I assume time pressure was a factor. I think these may have been rapid playoffs since first two games between the players were split. But that's speculation.      Jun-14-20 Svidler vs Morozevich, 1995   pikket: Agree, @Mateo. White seems to be better in all lines. I think Black went wrong earlier.      Jun-07-20 S Ivanov vs Svidler, 1995   pikket: 18. Bg4 is not a move Ivanov will have been especially proud of.      Feb-12-19 Kasparov vs K Georgiev, 1988    pikket: Thanks for that link alexmagnus - priceless!      Jan-28-09 Kamsky vs Aronian, 2009    pikket: Well, certainly after the useless 38.♘h5, White has lost most of his patiently built-up advantage. Perhaps 38. ♘fd5 was a better try.      Jan-09-09 Kasparov vs Smyslov, 1984    pikket: Kasparov implies that the whole variation, with 8...♗b4 is difficult for Black, giving 8...♘7b6 as preferable. (OMGP v II, p53.)      Jan-09-09 Kasparov vs Smyslov, 1984    pikket: Actually, Kasparov gives Black's 10th move as 'dangerous' (for Black) in his OMGP, vol II. He states, after 16 Bf4, that White has: "the better endgame". So I'm not sure it is correct that Smyslov ever had the advantage in this game.      Jan-09-09 Euwe vs R P Michell, 1935   pikket: Ouch! Nice rook sac on mv 24. Game mentioned in Kasparov's OMGP, Vol II.      Jan-07-09 Levenfish vs Flohr, 1936    Jul-31-08 Morozevich vs Tkachiev, 2007     Jul-11-08 Karpov vs Timman, 1988     Jul-09-08 Stahlberg vs Kotov, 1953     Apr-30-08 J Rukavina vs Karpov, 1973     Apr-30-08 Uhlmann vs Karpov, 1973     Apr-29-08 Capablanca vs Lasker, 1914     Apr-28-08 Tukmakov vs Karpov, 1973     Mar-13-08 Juan Gomez Acebo vs Alekhine, 1941
