| shivasuri4: Isn't 17.Qg4 an immediate win, with the hanging queen? |

Aug-16-20 O K Chiku-Ratte vs Omid Malek, 2018
| |
| shivasuri4: <stacase: 20.Qh6 I would have taken the Bishop 20.Qxf5> That is met with the surprise Ne5, and the position is about equal. 21.Bxe5 is forced, as fxe5 drops the queen. |

| |
| shivasuri4: Even after 14.Nxe6, Black could have hung on with 14...Qb6, defending d8. |

Sep-25-18 Batumi Olympiad (2018)

Aug-13-18 Magnus Carlsen
| |
| shivasuri4: <PhilFeeley: The only place close to the Soviet view of support for chess I know of is India, where players are employed by private companies to travel and play chess: a wonderful situation I wish existed elsewhere.> It's actually government-owned companies which hire chess |

Jul-31-18 Averbakh vs Kotov, 1953
| |
| shivasuri4: <1stboard>, both 33...Nd7 and 33...Nh5 win for Black. 34. Rg5 is the expected reply for either move. <JohnBoy>, perhaps Kotov was attempting to merely reach the time control without having a three-fold repetition occur. |
