Jun-05-13 Karpov vs M Wills, 1972 
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: Nxd5 is plainly the best approach to this position, because it eliminates the barrier for white to push e6-e7-e8. I think Na4 may be playable, though, with the longer and less elegant plan of forcing the king through to d6 and pushing black away with some careful zugzwang ...

YetAnotherAmateur: Queen sac Monday: 29. ... Qxf2
The longest line:
30. Rxf2 Ra1+ 31. Re1 Rxe1+ 32. Rf1 Rxf1#

| | May-31-13 E Berg vs Hector, 2012
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: I have to say, starting at 36 or so it sure seems like somebody was in a hurry to get to move 40.

| | May-06-13 Z Belic vs S Inhoven, 1987
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: Looks to me like black's last key mistake was 23. ... hxg5. He's clearly trying to maintain aggression, but it sure looks to me like he'd have been better off with the quiet Nge7. White has an attack with 24. Bh7+ Kh8, but it's not particularly good because of the threat ...

| | Apr-16-13 M Playa vs R Watanabe, 1991
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: I have to say, Playa's position seemed shot to pieces no later than move 10. His 6. g3 was apparently a "unique" idea, and the result was that his king was exposed, his fianchetto'd bishop pushed out of action, and by 18. b4 I don't think he had any viable options.

YetAnotherAmateur: <diceman: I let the fact Magnus won the tournament, mean he won the tournament.> I'll bet you're one of those people that insist upon calling a spade a spade, too! Congrats to Carlsen, he's definitely a worthy candidate. And I think Carlsen-Anand could turn into a ...

| | Apr-03-13 Tseshkovsky vs V Inkiov, 1983
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: One small problem with a lot of people's assessments: Ne4 isn't really immobilized by a pin, because Nd6 and Nf6 both protect e8. On to the puzzle: Black has no chance of counterplay that I could see, but does potentially annoy you with 24. ... Nf6 25. Rxf6 Rxe3 26. fxe3 ...

| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: <Cercatore: Why not 22. ... Kxh5>
<Buttinsky: If 22...Kxh5 23 g4+ leads to checkmate after 23...Kh6 or g6 or h4.> I'm not so sure it's immediate checkmate, but it's still very bad for black: 22. ... Kxh5
23. g4+ Kh6
24. Nxf7+ Kh7
25. Qh2+ Kg8
26. Nxd8

| | Mar-28-13 O Chernin vs E Schiller, 1998
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: The one I had to look at for a while was:
32. ... Bxh3
33. Bxg3 Qxg3+
34. Kh1 Ng4
35. Bf3
Best from here, as far as I can tell, is:
35. ... Bxf1
36. Bxg4 Rxg4
37. Qf2 Qh3+
38. Qh2 Qf3+
39. Rg2 Bxg2+
40. Kg1 Qf1#

| | Mar-20-13 A Stukopin vs J Ferreira, 2010
| |
|
YetAnotherAmateur: This is really a cute one, which I managed to get quickly enough. The variation where black lasts the longest: 27. Qxg7+ Kxg7 (forced)
28. f6+ Kh8 (Kf8 29. h8=R#)
29. Bh6 Rg8 (any other move falls to 30. Bg7#)
30. hxg8=Q+ Kxg8 (Rxg8 31. Bg7#)
31. Bg7 any move
32.
