May-23-04		Gypsy: The move of this game is 23...Be6! The Black trap was already set but White failed to cooperate. So what does one play? Bronstein moved away from its target and faked pressure on the f-file. The rest is the game.

Jul-25-05		Resignation Trap: In his red notebook about Bronstein, Botvinnik wrote: "Spanish with 3...f5. Szily's play was poor (and old-fashioned) - with only his queen. It could have been expected that there would be an exchange. But 'Br' (under the influence of the previous day's results!) played, like Konsky, tight-fistedly, and Szily essentially escaped. A careless move by Szily - and 'Br' skilfully but routinely sacrificed a piece and gave mate. A poor game, but he can bite." Bronstein lost the previous game: T Florian vs Bronstein, 1949 . And "Konsky" = Alexander Konstantinopolski

Aug-02-05		Averageguy: An interesting mating pattern, a bit like a cross between the swallow's tail's mate and the eppualette mate. Does this one have it's own name?

Jul-14-06		Whitehat1963: Here's a decent puzzle after 35. Qe1. Game also features the Opening of the Day.

Jan-12-07		Total Blunder: "Silly Josef"

Jul-16-12		FSR: Slapping Him Szily.
