Check out the round three game between Abdusattarov and Rapport in the Uzbek Chess Cup. The last move of the game. Of course, Rapport missed it in his calculations at least three moves in advance. Bf6 and if Kxf6 then h7 and h8=Q+ x-raying the black king and newly promoted queen.

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2920069 Giri's idea of b5! and b6! - the last two moves in his game against Abdusattarov in round 1 at Croatia.Comment

Terrific round three game between Gukesh and Pragga. Gukesh's pyrotechnics of his black squared bishop probably caught Pragga flat-footed but definitely the surprising Bd4 on the last move of the game caused instant resignation.Comment

Rd 1 Duda's dynamic 26.f5! was missed in Gukesh's calculations (otherwise he would have taken NxNd4 on a previous move)https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2920072Comment

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2920086 Gukesh vs Frioujza Rd 2 This game is full of delightful tactics. Perhaps missed was the deciding king walk by Gukesh. I just love Gukesh games. Such creativity.Comment

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2920082 Admire Magnus's brilliant handling of the two bishops. I'm not sure what was missed but definitely something was missed.Comment

In Rd 4 Abdusattarov Gukesh Abdusattarov grabbed a poisoned pawn with Qxc5 and was met with Ba6. Not so surprising as I winced when seeing it.Comment

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2925985 On move 60 Kosteniuk misses Rh8, if White plays 61.Kxh8 then Kf7 trapping the White king and eventually the black knight recycles to g6 and checkmate or the black pawn queens. Nice!Comment
