Apr-22-25 T Wall vs G Welling, 1996 
|
redcircle: In my humble opinion Nxe6 is a better practical choice. The Black king is weakened and I keep my queen on the board while I also have a powerful knight on e5. It is a matter of time until I win more material. The engine prefers Qxf4 and that's 100% understandable, but the engine's |

Mar-23-25 Van Wely vs J van Mil, 1994 
|
redcircle: My goodness me! What a game, what a gem. I recall having a similar position against the Dutch defense after the opening two years ago in my club championship. I performed the Nd5 manoeuvre and I won a slow game after about 50 moves. Nothing like what happened in van Wely's game! |

Oct-18-24 C Yoo vs Caruana, 2024 
|
redcircle: First was the Heartbreak Hotel, now the Fist of Fury. What is it with the world of chess that becomes more and more violent and less classy and respectful.
I thought that chess is the gentleman's game, nothing like other sports which are more physical, such as soccer or rugby.

redcircle: What is it that Thursday and Friday puzzles are easier than Tuesday and Wednesday? Found this one in 2 seconds, whereas yesterday it was a struggle! |

Feb-24-24 Niemann vs M A Maurizzi, 2024 
|
redcircle: Very entertaining game to say the least. Like him or not, you've got to admire his approach, choosing to avoid theory and enter a queenless middlegame. The game could have gone either way, it was down to fine details in the endgame. What an endgame it was by the way, minor pieces, |

Jan-29-24 I Bulmaga vs S Tsolakidou, 2023
|
redcircle: I certainly have to check this with an engine, but it seems like Black had the better chances in the final position. If someone can play for a win here, it's Black, because of the majority on the kingside and also the better king. Also the pawn on d4 is probably more of a ... |

redcircle: Amazing geometry with those queen moves at the end. Stunning game! |

Dec-20-23 X Zhao vs Aronian, 2005 
|
redcircle: This is more like a Saturday/Sunday puzzle. The move Aronian played was one of my candidates but I wasn't sure what happens when the rook moves cause it has several different potential destinations. I then thought that 33..Rxb2 wins cause I am playing Ng4 and Be5 afterwards, but ... |
