Apr-04-09		notyetagm: A model game by Nepomniachtchi in handling an IQP position.

Apr-05-09		Gilmoy: It's Vishy's <Knight in Amber> pattern! Anand vs Leko, 2009 Seirawan vs B Kogan, 1986 <28.Rxc7+ Qxc7> is Botvinnik's skewer theme: Botvinnik vs Portisch, 1968. Here, it acts as a constraint to hang Black's Nd5, giving White just enough time to recoup all the material. <notyetagm: ... an IQP position> <3.exd5> clearance exchange for ... <15.Ne4> A transfer so strong, Nepo did it <twice>! lol Funny: Kharitonov got <7..Nxd5 17..Nf5> -- Nepo was worried enough to retreat his own: <18.Nc3>. Kharitonov timidly retreats them both: <18..Nfd7 22.Nc7>. Nepo advances his: <19.Ne5 22.Ng5>. The difference is: hollow e3, piglet on f7!

Apr-05-09		notyetagm: <Gilmoy: It's Vishy's <Knight in Amber> pattern!> LOL

Apr-05-09		notyetagm: A beautiful tactical sequence by Nepomniachtchi from moves 25-30.

Apr-09-09		Ulhumbrus: After 26 Qxh6+! if Black's King takes the Q, he will then have been been drawn away from the defence of the Rook as well as having being drawn into the fork Nxf7+

Apr-20-09		Jimfromprovidence: This is the LA Times' Sunday puzzle for April 19. White seems to have an improvement with 28 Bxd5... click for larger view ...seeing 28...Nxd5 29 Qxh7+. click for larger view Now, after 29...Kf6 30 Qxb7, white is ahead a rook and 2 pawns vs. a knight instead of being up just 2 pawns.

Apr-21-09		notyetagm: Very nice combo by Nepo.
