Mar-19-04		orangeclown07: I'm not sure what 19. Ra1 was. Personally, I would have played 19. Qc7 and tried to prove the c pawn to be weak.

Jul-12-07		notyetagm: Black To Play 21 ... ? click for larger view Here Black finishes off Kramnik with a lovely <RELOADER>, 21 ... d7-c5!. Position after 21 ... d7-c5! click for larger view Kramnik resigns as his White a4-queen is <TRAPPED> at the edge of the board on the a-file. If White captures the Black c5-knight with 22 d4xc5, then Black simply <RELOADS> on the c5-square with his other (e4-)knight. The White a4-queen is again <TRAPPED> and this time there are no White pawns that can rescue Her Majesty by capturing a Black knight on c5. Poisition after 22 d4xc5 e4xc5 <reload> click for larger view A lucidly simple example of the <RELOADER> theme. The White d4-pawn <DEFENDS> the c5-square =only= one(!) time, so buy itself it cannot keep two Black pieces from occupying this crucial square.

Aug-27-08		Whitehat1963: Tuesday/Wednesday puzzle after 20. Ne1. (Player of the Day)

Aug-27-08		sicilianhugefun: volodya played like a 1500
