Aug-05-23 A Korobov vs Iturrizaga Bonelli, 2023
|
shakh.i.shekh: White won this game! It is White's move after Black played Rf2. White plays Kh3 and with no more checks Black will lose because his King is too exposed. |

Apr-04-22 Vasyl Ivanchuk 
|
shakh.i.shekh: Ivanchuk is a Ukrainian name. I think the Russian version is "Ivanov." The English version is "Johnson" (son of John). |

Feb-26-18 K Polak vs K Bulski, 2008 
|
shakh.i.shekh: If white plays P-g7 and Black plays K-h7, then if White captures Bishop and does not promote to Knight, Black can play Q-d1+ and force stalemate. |

Sep-08-17 Ivanchuk vs Duda, 2017 
|
shakh.i.shekh: Ivanchuk's 15 NxP is a more complicated version of Fischer's similar combination against Spassky in game 8 and Karpov's defeat of Kasparov in game 7 of their world championship match in 1990. Good tactic to remember! |

Jun-04-17 Ivanchuk vs K Piorun, 2017
|
shakh.i.shekh: I think Ivanchuk forgot that knights can jump backwards. Karpov forgot this in one of his world championship games with Kasparov. |
