Aug-03-22 Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi, 2022    tonsillolith: Of the last twelve decisive games between these two, it looks like Carlsen scored <11-1> against Nepo. Sure, many of them are not classical time controls, but still one can see why Carlsen is bored to tears with facing Nepo, and doesn't feel the drive to put forth another      Jul-28-22 Vachier-Lagrave vs Carlsen, 2022   tonsillolith: <22. Bc8> seems like a nice safe place to tuck the bishop, staying out of the rook's sight of the d-pawn. However the text <22. Bd7> serves a very useful purpose along the <a4-c8> diagonal. It's not so much the possibility of outward-facing scope if the ...      Jul-19-22 Alekhine vs H Johner, 1932   tonsillolith: Thy first 31 moves of this game have a very similar feel to Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971      Jul-16-22 Mamedyarov vs A Tari, 2022   tonsillolith: Very nice open game from Tari. Shak lost a lot of ground due to loose pieces.

I wonder if there are any good puns that are less of a stretch than <Sailing the <7c>>      Jul-06-22 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2012    tonsillolith: The rook is protected from the fork, because <58...Kxf8 59. Bd6+?? Rxf5!>      Jul-04-22 A R Saleh Salem vs Carlsen, 2017    tonsillolith: <23...Qf6> <24...Qf5> <26...Bd5> <27...Bc4> Magnus the dirty Square Grabber at work.      Jun-30-22 D Gavrilescu vs Caruana, 2022   tonsillolith: This is impressive for a blitz game. A really bold plan, with lots of sharp play. Then topped off with a queen sac.      Jun-23-22 Nepomniachtchi vs Caruana, 2022   tonsillolith: Ian Nepomniachdrawchi vs Fabiano Drawuana
