Jul-07-14 G Mazzoni vs J Minaya, 1964 
| |
| v d pandit: I also thought of the move 30.Qg5. Initially it too looks to be mating but 30. --- Bh6 and White cannot mate.
Black now guards both g7 and g8. If 31.Qxh6, Rg8. |

Jul-22-09 Korchnoi vs Short, 1987
| |
| v d pandit: On many occasions, I notice difference in the opening as named here against that named in other sources. This particular opening 'chessgames' has named C10 (French Def) while another site names it A40. I think it is C10 only but what is A40 & what are its moves? |

| |
| v d pandit: Though Meenakshi's win was expected as she was 210 Elo points above Huahua, the brilliant way in which she won is laudable. |

Jul-14-09 Morozevich vs L Bruzon Batista, 2005
| |
| v d pandit: Leonard Barden has discussed the position after 55 --- Kg7 in his Column wherein he stated White had 3 options here 56 QXh4 or BXh4 or Qc7+ and that only 56 Qc7+ wins. 56 BXh4? Bc5 winning the Q; 56 QXh4? Qe3! when W had to give up his B by Bf2 to stop --- Qg1#. |

| |
| v d pandit: White's 15 Bg5 looks to be an example of "Chess Blindness". |

| |
| v d pandit: After White's 19 Qd4, what was the immediate threat? Why Black gave up so meekly? What if Black replies with 19 --- Ne4? |
