White mates in four

| | Sep-13-09 T Karatekin vs P Hummel, 2003 
| |
|
pferd: White has an easy win (thanks to endgame data base) at move 48: 48.Qb4+ angling to exchange queens by checking (or pinning) from f4 or h4. e.g. 48.Qb4+ Ke8 49.Qa4+ and fork King and Queen next move.

pferd: <kb2ct: Thorsson:
There is a huge difference between offering a draw and accepting or rejecting a draw offer. If he had not offered a draw, I doubt we would have offered one until the perp was clearly intended. Maybe 8 to 12 days away. :0)> We would (should) have never offered

| | Jul-16-09 Fischer vs Larsen, 1970
| |
|
pferd: <kingfu: ... The other Fischer-Larsen games include Fischer going 6-0 in a Candidates Match. ... Even more amazing was Fischer going 6-0 against Petrosian, who was known as a great defender.> Are you sure about that? I don't think Tiger was 0-6 against anybody.

| | May-25-09 Tartakower vs Reti, 1925
| |
|
pferd: Note the similarities of the positions after 73.f5 (when Black replied 73...Ke7) and 75.f6 (When Black replied 75...Kf8). Could Black have drawn with 73...Kf7?
Could Black have drawn with 75...Ke8?

| |
|
pferd: <SamAtoms1980: pferd: After 22.Nxh7 Ne7 how does White continue? 23 Qf4 Nf5 24 g4! and White will get through in short order.> Maybe 23...d5 holds longer than 23...Nf5,
although Black is certainly on the ropes.

pferd: g.mueller:
[DIAGRAM] Interesting that (according to tablebase) now Ke5 wins faster than Kc7.

|
| | Nov-24-08 V Tukmakov vs D Norwood, 1990
| |
|
pferd: <MAJ: I had an inkling that this might be it: 28.Rxf6 Bxf6 29.Qxh7+ Bg7 30.Bh6 Rg8 31. Nh8+ Kf8> Or after 29....Bg7 maybe now is the time to spring 30.Rd7+ e.g. 30...Qxd7 31.Nxe5+ Ke6 32.Nxd7 Kxd7 33.Qxg7+
