Notable Games

August winners!
Here is a selection of games featuring those players who have been successful in the last month.
Note the selection of styles from the outright attacking (Korobov) to the prudent technical (Adams). There is more than one way to become a winner!

[Summer 2010]
 
Highlights from Dortmund
I have taken a closer look at the recent Dortmund mega-GM tournament and picked out four games that I found particularly interesting.
Ponomariov was first and Le Quang Liem second, whereas Mamedyarov had a very mixed event with some nice wins but some poor losses.

Dzagnidze dominates!
In the recent Jermuk tournament Nana Dzagnidze seemed to be in a different class to the others. Here we look at how she outplayed her closest rival.

Nepomniachtchi downs Short
Ian Nepomniachtchi continues his rapid progress towards joining the world's elite. Here he is in fine form as he storms his opponent's defences in flamboyant style.
How good can he get?

Fireworks from Poikovsky!
The following game is just remarkable. Both of Riazantsev and Naiditsch play some amazing moves and the resulting positions are just so difficult to judge.

Highlights from Astrakhan
I've had a look at some of the decisive moments and interesting games that have shaped the Grand Prix event in Astrakhan. I hope that you enjoy all these high-level thrills and spills!

[Spring 2010]
 
Ivanchuk downs Grischuk in the Poisoned Pawn!
Their theoretical discussion continues in a sharp line of the Sicilian Najdorf where Black grabs a pawn. Ivanchuk plays a new move and goes on to win a convincing game and helps his team gain a key 3.5-2.5 victory.
[Spring 2010]
 
Rijeka Highlights
I've picked out a few games that demonstrate the different styles of the players who were vying for the title.
As many of the leading players in this event are quite young their names will no doubt be in the headlines again soon.

[European Individual championships 2010]
 
Last round nerves!
Despite so much being at stake, Artyom Timofeev certainly held his act together as he played an impressive game to overcome Rauf Mamedov in the last round of the European Championship.
