Dec-13-12		GrahamClayton: Here is Rokhlin turning the tables in a spectacular way against Vladislav Silich in 1929: click for larger view 1.f8+ h7 2.e4+ click for larger view 2...f5! and White resigned, due to either 3. xf5 xh4# or 3. xc6 xh3#.

Dec-14-12		Phony Benoni: <GrahamClayton> I remember this from the introduction to USSR Championship (1929). White could have won with the equally spectacular <2.Qe4+!>. Oh, why can't we have the full game score?

Dec-16-12		GrahamClayton: <Phony Benoni>Oh, why can't we have the full game score? <PhonyBenoni>, The position was highlighted in a tactics book that I have, which didn't have the full score.

Dec-16-12		Phony Benoni: <Graham Clayton> I found it in a online series of reports on the USSR Championships, but no score either.
