Dec-13-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024
| |
| shishio71: 55.Rf2?? is right up there with Chigorin-Steinitz, Nepo trapping his bishop in '21, and Bxh2 in Fischer-Spassky as one of the worst WCC blunders. This one might sting the most, though... |

| |
| shishio71: Not a bad pun per se, but under the circumstances I suggest the following as more appropriate: "Self-pinDing for Immortality" |

Aug-24-17 So vs V Akobian, 2015
| |
| shishio71: Silly question, but that writing on the score sheet - was that just So writing the time on Akobian's clock? If so, I thought that was legal under USCF Rule 20C or FIDE 12.4. I know there's more to the whole scenario than that, but just wondering |

Aug-02-17 G Gaygusuzoglu vs R Hardarson, 2007
| |
| shishio71: 25...Rxd4! 26.cxd4 Bxd4+ 27.Rf2 Bxa1. For a while I thought I could trap the queen with a 27...Be3 line but to no avail |

Aug-14-15 Wei Yi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2015
| |
| shishio71: Question: does chessgames do renames? This one's already being referred to as 'The Modern Immortal' in several places... |

Aug-13-15 Anand vs Van Wely, 1997
| |
| shishio71: Hmm... the puzzle AND the GOTD... Did I miss a memo, or is today Zugzwang Day? Very nice finish |
