Well, I’ll just ask here, hope the blog host permits, as there are many people who understand chess better than me. I’ll quote 2 games I won, but on the second, what did I do wrong, why was the win so narrow even though I thought I secured an advantage before move 20. I stuck to the plan, and I went for the endgame I thought was won, and I won it, but the game left me with the impression I should have many times won it more quickly.
I suppose I quote them because I played, as I think, in a sound positional style, rapid games on Yahoo:

Anyone?
Oh, I forgot now to congratulate Vilka, though I am sure he will make Finns proud with even more splendid accomplishments!
And a further thought comes to mind, should an experienced grandmaster ever write a book on their impressions on chess openings, that might be a big hit with the chess-curious crowd, even though these impressions might be disputed. In chess books, in general, there are too many variations and too little description to be on the bus, but going through the impressions from ECO A to E would be very interesting I think. Even though I think competitive grandmasters don’t think of openings in those terms, it is ever the positions, but the layman thinks of the nuances in the openings. Just a suggestion :).
