(4)
Annotated by archduke_piccolo (2332): This is the second of the games from Charles Higgie's Commonwealth Games Mini-T that I have chosen to annotate. In contrast with the tactical melee and attacking game of the first, this was more in the way of a positional siege against Black's whole position. A positional knight sacrifice placed a clamp over Black's whole game. Once White's assault columns were prepared, Black's constrained…

USSR Championship First League
Khalifman vs. Basin
Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): This game is a Catalan miniature, which features some nice tactical motifs. I haven't annotated it too deeply, but everyone should be able to enjoy this game. 6..b5; 7. Ne5 Nd5, is also playable. Polugayevsky-Pachenko went 8. Qe2 b5 9. Rd1 Be7; 10. b3 cb; 11. ab 0-0; 12. e4, with positional compensation for the pawn. More usual is 10. Rd1 or 10. a4, either securing the d-pawn …

Karlsbad tournament, 1923

The King will be safer here than on the opposite wing. Black plans ...P-KB4-5, undermining…
