Jun-27-25 A J Goldsby vs F Goodenough, 1974    tamar: The pun on the player’s name is, to be frank, good enough.      Jun-27-25 R Praggnanandhaa vs Rapport, 2025    tamar: <I’m beyond puzzled why Pragg took on b6 on move 12> Judging just by time used, Pragg was moving instantly, and was familiar with this line, including 15…Nxd5!

He started to think longer after 17…Ra4, a sign ...      Jun-20-25 N Yakubboev vs A Erigaisi, 2025    tamar: Erigaisi gave the impression of seeing all the way to the end after 11 Qxb7? and quietly played the devastating 11…0-0!      Jun-20-25 Carissa Yip   tamar: Winner of the Cairns Cup with 6/9, and a 2614 performance rating.      Jun-06-25 Norway Chess (2025)    tamar: I wonder if Norway Chess will change into a non-classical tournament to keep Magnus playing.      Jun-05-25 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2025    tamar: Now two pawns are running and it is a jailbreak      Jun-05-25 Chessgames - Sports    tamar: I really started more NBA this year because of comments here about OKC’s defense.

He berated himself for always making it hard by giving up leads.      Jun-03-25 D Gukesh vs A Erigaisi, 2025    tamar: Epic battle between the Tal and Spassky of Indian chess. Erigaisi had the advantage, and several opportunities to strike starting around move 20. He continued to build his position, and perhaps his best chance was the exchange sacrifice available with 24...Bc7! 25 c4 Qc6 26 Ng5 Qd6 27      May-26-25 Rapport vs Ivanchuk, 2025    tamar: Though the chess.com relay shows Ivanchuk with 37 seconds when 1-0 is recorded.
