How's it going everyone? Today, at 9:30 AM Pacific/12:30 PM Eastern/5:30 PM London time, GM Magesh Panchanathan hosted another great episode of one of Chess.com/TV's original shows, "Your Games Analyzed," in which the person who answers a trivia question correctly or successfully answers the chess puzzle gets to have one of their games picked apart by Magesh.

Now I will be making this game available through the Downloads library right here at Chess.com because since this game was analyzed using the Chessbase 11 program, Magesh drew all sorts of diagrams along with his analysis that some, like myself, will find interesting and helpful, so look for that in a few minutes if you happen to have Chessbase, Fritz, Rybka etc.
