Apr-12-15 Schlechter vs J Mieses, 1909 
| |

| |
| scassislusor: Odd position: after 16 moves the number of pieces for each player that have (apparently) not been moved seems high. GM vs a nobody - did this game come from a simul? |

Feb-22-15 Ljubojevic vs Karpov, 1993
| |
| scassislusor: Strange game! 28 moves and no exchanges except 1 knight apiece between 2 GMs! Were they afraid of each other? It's as though the game hadn't started till 28…knight d4! |
