Nov-07-03		Lopin: The best is hidden behind the scenes. Try this game's final combination for yourself...

Nov-07-03		AdrianP: <Lopin> Nice... 12... gxh5? 13. Rg3+ Kh1 14. Nxf7++# is the main point and 12 ... Nf6 also turns out to be hopeless

Oct-23-05		mcgee: Funnily enough, though, the first twelve moves were played in Bellon-Pfleger Olot 1972 and Black held on after 12...Nf6 13Qh6? d4! 13 Ng4 is the killer.

Dec-30-05		Honza Cervenka: Lovely miniature. A possible finish is 12...Nf6 13.Ng4! gxh5 (13...Nxh5? 14.Nh6#) 14.Nxf6+ Kh8 15.Rxh5 h6 16.Nxd5+ etc.

Dec-31-05		syracrophy: After 12.Qh5!!: <A)> 12...gxh5 13.Rg3+ Kh8 14.Nxf7++ <B)> 12...Nf6 13.Ng4! gxh5 (13...Nxh5 14.Nh6++) 14.Nxf6+ Kg7 15.Ne8+ Kh6 16.Bg7+ Kg6 17.Rg3+ Kf5 18.Rg5+ Ke4 19.Nf6++ <C)> 12...Kg7 13.Nxd7+! f6 14.Qxh7++

Feb-01-07		sfm: Why did Black play 11.-,g6 ? To prevent the dangerous looking 12.Qh5. Unfortunately it didn't!

Feb-14-07		Whitehat1963: Monday puzzle after 11...g6.

Jul-25-07		vukotic: As to sfm's question of Feb-01-07: If, for example, 11. ... Nxe5 12. Bxe5 Bxe5 13. Qh5 wins a piece. Hence 11. ... g6.

Jul-25-07		vukotic: I meant: 12. fxe5 Bxe5 in the previous comment.

Jul-14-08		sneaky pete: The final combination was anticipated by V Litvinov vs Veresov, 1958 (as noted by Tim Krabbé).
