So i'm reading a magazine, and i found this game. It's a very nice one, showing how to punish your opponent if he carelessly sets up an annoying pin. White breaks it in nice fashion, giving up his queen, to force a king hint all the way down to hi... Read more »

I was unable to figure out how to submit commentary and such... I was able to do it once and then could't figure out the rest... Anyways, this is probably one of my most amazing wins. My opponent is a very strong player and usually beats me ab... Read more »

This game is a nice strategic masterpiece. White slowly maneuvers his pieces until the board explodes into a tactical battle. Sacrifices abound as the black king is slowly constricted and suppressed.

This is a very nice showcase from Topalov. He unleashes an exhange sacrifice early on to obtain a pawn mass in the center. From then on, he gives up whatever he can to advance this mass. In the end, a pawn must inevitably queen.

The weakness of black's back rank is a major theme in this game. White leaves his queen en prise and then blows the black position open with a lethal rook+bishop combo. In the end he only needs two pieces to mate.

Here is a game from Corustoernooi 2007, Ruslan Ponomariov - Veselin Topalov
Topalov was at his best this day, beating Ponomariov in a wild and very imbalanced game. Actually Pono was better after the opening, but hesitant play (21.Nb1?!) got him ... Read more »
