Olympos: It took me 3 seconds to solve, it is a typical classical case of pawn promotion.

Olympos: The only move, otherwise White is mated (!!) in one move, eg 39. (any other move than Be6) gxf5 mate. If 39. fxg6 then 39. ... f7-f5 mate!! A rather easy puzzle.

Olympos: I really do not understand why Black has resigned at that stage of the game! He could play for a draw. Maybe time pressure?

Olympos: Found in 3 seconds, very easy and typical case. I think that Ponomariov has permitted his opponent to show us another example of this kind of mate, bravo to him.

Olympos: nice and in a way easy, since 27. .. Qb4 is the only logical move for counter-play reaction.
On 28.Kf1, Black responses 28. .. Rxe1+ 29. Rxe1 (forced) Qxg4 30. Nh6+ Kf8 31. Nxg4 Nxd5 followed by e6.
