Jan-15-15 Ding Liren vs Ivanchuk, 2015 
| |
| shakespeare: curious too see which Ivanchuk plays today - the top player or the genious |
|
|
|
Jul-24-14 S Williams vs J Hawkins, 2014
| |
| shakespeare: what a crunching finish - tremendous performance so far 6 our of 6 - go! :-) |
|
|
|
Sep-26-13 Tal vs Golombek, 1958
| |
| shakespeare: at move 26 Golombek was slightly better but had no feeling for the danger to come - a critical point to switch to the "defensive mode" Rh7 and Nd5 no matter in which order and the king is safe |

|
Aug-28-13 Seirawan vs Tal, 1983
| |
| shakespeare: Yasser explains this game and the concept of minority attack on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlj... |
|
|
|
Aug-12-13 D Howell vs D Gormally, 2013
| |
| shakespeare: after the dubious 24.Nxe4 26.c5 seems to be the only logical continuation - the a pawn did not run away |
|
|
|
Jul-26-13 Adams vs D Lemos, 2010
| |
| shakespeare: Games like this are teh reason why I never play french as black and the reason why I like it if black plays this opening - perfectly played black is in a permanent squeeze without much counterplay |
|
|
|
Jul-15-13 Tal vs Hecht, 1962
| |
| shakespeare: Incredible calculation ability by Tal.
At the end of all the fireworks he had an endgame with a superior k-side majotity - at least he thought so - 35....f5! 36.h3 h5! destroying Tals perspectives once and forever and Hecht would have had an easy draw. |

Jun-15-13 Browne vs Quinteros, 1974
| |
| shakespeare: Nice example for the superiority of development vs. material |
|
|
|
Mar-30-13 Andersson vs M Basman, 1975
| |
| shakespeare: 45.Qxc5 is an outright blunder - why not take a passed pawn if your opponent deliberately gives you one? |
