Below is a game played by Shaun Press where Shaun says in his blog most of the moves were the same one's recommended by Fritz 9.

Blindfold Chess - Anand comes up with a nice combo!

Personally, I am now finding Chessexpress to be a better blog for chess games, moves, and highlights.
The alternate TCG blog has drifted towards touristy gossip and not much 'real' chess. Just my view. And of course, with techo. thaumaturgy I am able to rearrange my list of favourites.

So unfortunately, the independent nature his blog had for the first few years (which made his blog quite good) is no longer apparent.

This game won the brilliancy prize at the recent Doeberl tournament. Thanks to Shaun Press for bringing it to my attention via his blog.

This game was recently posted on Shaun Press' Chessexpress blog! The winner (GM Aronian) is rumoured to be dating an Australian citizen. Its one of those wierd games where you don't quite understand what the heck is going on, or why white forcibly loses the exchange, but the final position is understandably enough.

Here is another game from Chessexpress. No Australian connection this time, and the game is an oldie to boot.

Wow! Excellent annotations, and a thoroughly enjoyable game to watch and go through.
