Good show!      Oct-06-09 Zsofia Polgar vs A Rabczewsky, 1989    sleepyirv: Way to long to spot, but I did find it.      Oct-05-09 J Gast vs E Bhend, 1987    sleepyirv: Recognizable mating patterns make the sun shine and the birds sing.      Oct-02-09 Steele vs C Stanley, 1860    sleepyirv: Not a Dr.Livingston pun?      Sep-28-09 A Kosten vs Hebden, 1982    sleepyirv: Never underestimate the power of a defensive masterpiece.      Sep-25-09 L Bruzon vs E Perelshteyn, 2000    sleepyirv: Maybe a bit easy for a Friday and by that I mean I got it instantly. Well... I obviously had to go through a lot of lines, but I still nailed it.      Sep-23-09 D Semcesen vs N Grandelius, 2009    sleepyirv: First look for a mate, thought I needed a rook, then I tried to find a way to win the dark-square bishop, smelled a mate, took me a second to remember any bishop/knight mates and then found it.      Sep-20-09 Lief Adam   sleepyirv: It's Adam Lief. An interesting game commented by the loser: http://www.chessvideos.tv/forum/vie...      Sep-14-09 NN vs R Vassilev, 2009    sleepyirv: Didn't we have another bishop deflection trick Monday puzzle recently?
