Apr-15-11 X Zhao vs Xu Tong, 2011   sharkbenjamin: Wait. Wait. Wait. Pow!!! 34. Rc5! 34.... dxc5 35. Qxe5+! White has a material and positional advantage with check!      Apr-15-11 Q Huang vs X Zhao, 2011   sharkbenjamin: Unbelievable! Black had a slightly better position from move 7.... Bxc3 to 67.... Rc7 and this (67.... Rc7) is a drawn position! To lose is unbelievable.      Apr-08-11 Qi Guo vs X Zhang, 2011   sharkbenjamin: This is an incredible game for the black side. I have always thought that the black side of this variation could mount this kind of attack. I am glad to see this played out! Excellent job GM Zhang Xiaowen.      Jun-20-10 Nepomniachtchi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2010    sharkbenjamin: 40...Bd7 41.Be5+ Kb7 42.Rd3 you pin and you win! White will double the rooks with Rhd1 and black will lose the bishop. If black plays 42. ... Na7 then white plays 43. Nd6+ followed by 44. Nf7 with the fork of the two black rooks.      Jun-17-10 Carlsen vs Y Wang, 2010    sharkbenjamin: Magnificent Carlsen is the new Fischer with a larger chess opening base and better parent and sibling,and national support. Carlsen is a much better speed player than Kasparov. (I must say being compared to Kasparov is a great compliment.)      May-29-10 J Hector vs Giri, 2010    sharkbenjamin: GM Jonny Hector excellent draw against the flame known as "The Girinator" Great game!      May-25-10 Kamsky vs Onischuk, 2010    sharkbenjamin: Can You believe!? How does Kamsky survive this game? He does not give up and he was always looking for counter play.      Feb-03-10 K Lie vs C Li, 2010    sharkbenjamin: I am amazed that this player (Kjetil) is a grand master with a rating of 2547.      Feb-01-10 S Plukkel vs C Li, 2010    sharkbenjamin: Zugzwang! The ultimate tactical device!      Jan-12-10 T Rowan vs P Biyiasas, 1975    sharkbenjamin: This is an unbelievable game! Queen and king lose to king, knight, and 5 pawns. Mamedyarov vs Sutovsky, 2010 this is a key link of this strange ending. I have not seen this in 50 years of competitive chess.
