| rannewman: <Daisuki:No problem here. ;p I'm basically just saying that the utility of seriously considering a no-impact god is so low that it's not really worth the opportunity cost for me. It's not the same for impactful gods, but even for those I need some evidence for me to bother. ... |

Dec-28-12 Kotov vs Smyslov, 1940
| |
| rannewman: This instantly made me think of ...Nxg3 in Gligoric vs Fischer, 1961 In both cases a piece capture will alow the capture of the loose knight in the center, while a diffrent capture will expose the king to mate in one. |

Dec-26-12 Anatoly Karpov
| |
| rannewman: During the seville match, kasparov was unable to make any progress at all against karpov's caro-can, however in later games karpov normaly replayed 1...e5. Was there a game that made karpov shy away from the caro-can? |

Dec-24-12 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| rannewman: I guess it's just harder in blitz, to win the endgame with a pawn less ;) |

Dec-24-12 Lutikov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1959
| |
| rannewman: 28...f6 fails to 29.Bxf6+ BxB 30.eXB Kxe6 31.Qg5+ K any 32. Qh7+ Kf8 33.Qh6+ Kf7 34.Bg6+ and now Ke6 is forced, allowing BxR+. White is an exchange up and still have winning attack. |

Dec-24-12 J Lechtynsky vs A Mutina, 1968
| |
| rannewman: Both wins easly, the bishop have no escape anyhow. |

Dec-24-12 A D Harley vs S Williams, 2001
| |
| rannewman: 21...Re3!, such a nice move. If 22.Kg2 then 22...Rxf2+! |

Dec-24-12 Ding Liren
| |
| rannewman: Whychess published an interview with Ding Liren: http://whychess.com/en/node/6196 feels kinda awkward, he is 20 years old but in this interview he gives the impression of a much younger child. Maybe it's just bad transaltion.. |

Dec-24-12 D Fuller vs Horton, 1979
| |
| rannewman: In your line, isn't black just a piece down after 12.Q:c8+? |
