Apr-29-13 H P Garcia vs P Gelpke, 1983

|
poachedeggs: Yes...rather than 24.Qxc7 after 23...Pxe6, 24.Rf1+ is what I saw as the greater threat...

| | Apr-22-13 F Olafsson vs Pilnik, 1957
| |
|
poachedeggs: As I looked the game over, 20...Rd7 seemed very bad and the begining of a rapid end...as the N lost a defence of the f6 square...and I see some comments that support this...

| | Mar-11-13 E Gereben vs A De Groot, 1936
| |
|
poachedeggs: I am a patzer...but 20 Bxc4 seems to be the moment...the rook comes over to pin the B to the K and white stalls. Two questions
1. Why Bxc4?
2. Isn't there a much better move? Like 20Be2...attacking the pesky H pawn...

| |
|
poachedeggs: The Rook sac on e6 flushes the king...got it....But Fisher had to first get comfortable with all that black artillery on the queenside...wow...

| |
|
poachedeggs: Amazing...the knight was moved 8 times in the last 11 moves of the game to put a pillow over the face of the king...

| | Dec-19-12 Fischer vs R Ault, 1959
| |
|
poachedeggs: "Like paying against chess itself."
Moves like 20 26 and 31 are simple yet crushing...imho...

| |
|
poachedeggs: The most difficult part of this puzzle was the continuation after Karpov's resignation...LOL...

| | Feb-01-12 Noteboom vs A Gromer, 1931
| |
|
poachedeggs: The pawn on f6...ouch.
As the black Q ate the pawn...she had no idea that a R sac bolt of lightening was coming.
