Jun-11-13 L Espig vs W Pietzsch, 1967    Funicular: @boster Well, yes, but in this case there's littler choice. Winning material means nothing once you've sacrificed a whole rook while STILL under mate threat. You really can't risk letting the black king escape. That leads most chess players to look for the most forcing moves.      Dec-06-12 E Maggiolo vs Zhu Chen, 2001    Funicular: Something's wrong in this game      Sep-22-12 A Valsecchi vs P Bontempi, 2012    Funicular: Once you've seen ed lasker vs g thomas, you can spot these kind of combinations rather quickly!      Sep-09-12 G Vescovi vs Leitao, 1998    Funicular: Like most of you, i saw clearly through 32. Rfe8. It makes sense, since a check would win the queen. After that, it's about thinking how the bishop can kick in anc combine the rooks for an advantage. By the way, if Qxf3, then Bb6 and then R8e3 or something. Note how the queen is ...      Aug-17-12 Tal vs Panno, 1958   Funicular: 41 ... Re6 and white simply can't win      Jul-11-12 A Karpatchev vs R Oney, 2006    Funicular: quite easy for a wednesday =)      May-19-12 Nakamura vs Seirawan, 2012    Funicular: That Knight on c6 is worth more than some countries' total GDP      May-08-12 Morphy vs Loewenthal, 1850    Funicular: @IVAragorn "Bg1 keeps Morphy’s pawn stuck where it is @ least for a while." White simply plays Rb7+ and after Kc6 (Kc8 or Kd8 lead to mate in 6 or 7 moves) the white king marches all the board around it towards b8. Then the pawn cannot be stopped. Thats why JJ resigned. I guess he      Apr-27-12 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2012    Funicular: There's no room for error. Engine does like black's position a little bit better. At best, it's a draw. At worst, a miscalculation can end up in black's favor.      Apr-25-12 Aronian vs Kramnik, 2012    Funicular: @ <waustad> Thu. April 26: Rest Day Fri. April 27: 15:00 Round 5 Sat. April 28: 13:00 Round 6
