Feb-20-09		khursh: Queens parade?

Feb-20-09		stoy: I have never seen so many queens in one game. Amazing!

Feb-21-09		LivBlockade: click for larger view Position after 86. Kd6 Engines say that instead of 86...Qc3, Black can win starting with 86...Qg6+. A typical line continues 87. Kc7 Qg7+; 88. Kd6 Qgg3+; 89. Kd7 when Black mates in 13 (!) with starting with 89...Qd3+. click for larger view Position after 89...Qd3+

Jan-13-14		Phony Benoni: After <73.a7>: click for larger view The alternative <73...Qd3+ 74.Kb6 Qe4 75.Nc6 Qxb4+ 76.Nxb4 h1Q> click for larger view is a tabllebase draw. So go ahead and take the second queen. Who knows?

Mar-31-16		QueensideCastler: Position after 65...Qxg1 black mates in 37. Positon after 75. a8=Q black mates in 24. Lomonosov Tablebases.

Jun-25-16		Smothered Mate: Note that the position <LivBlockade> gave also occurred 6 moves earlier. Additionally, the Lomonosov tablebases indicate that from that position: Qf6+ and Qg6+ both give a fastest mate, which is in this case mate-in-14. (There might also be other moves which do that.) Qc3 just draws, and the position stayed a draw from that point on.
