Maxime Vachier-Lagrave's Top 5 Most Brilliant Moves
The match, held in conjunction with a special anniversary issue of the "ICGA Journal" (International Computer Games Association), will consist of six games with a time control of 15 minutes and a 10-second increment per move.
Smerdon plays black in every game; Komodo will be missing a knight in the starting positions, alternating from removing it from b1 an g1. It will be the first formal match on record in which a grandmaster takes knight odds in rapid (as opposed to blitz) chess from any opponent and similar to the handicap games that were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries

23...c5?! [Obviously, Black wants to undermine White's center, however, this move does nothing but weaken the d6 pawn and block the way of Black's queen as well. He should have exploited the pin on the d4–pawn with:]
[23...N4e5! N×f3 24.Kh1 Nxf3 25.gxf3 Qa5!³ Qh5]
24.Nc3 cxd4 25.Qxd4 Qxd4+? [25...Qc5! would be correct: 26.Rcd1 Qh5‚ 27.h3 N4e5 N×f3 28.Nxe5 Nxe5=]
