U.S. Championship: Nimzo-Indian Classical

Hess is just fine on the black side of this Nimzo-Indian after Krush's novelty of 13.f5.  He's even in command of the game after14.Qe7.  From there, however, Krush manages a slow buildup until Hess collapses at 33.Qxf5.

World Championship: Missed Opportunities in Round 9 (Anand 4 1/2 : Toaplov 4 1/2)

Let's hope that Anand doesn't rue this day.  The World Champion misses his way more than once.  The moves meriting review are 18.Nh3 (TN) and 63.Kg3??  It's worth attempting to calculate the win.
