snarky: 40.Rdxd7 is like that hot girl you can't resist but in the end turns out to be trouble. Such a sexy move but I somehow knew it wasn't going to work out. I failed to find the correct move.

snarky: The position screams Nxd5. If ever there was a case of "play the move the board tells you to play", this is it.

snarky: REQUEST: Does anybody have experience with electronic chess sets?
My nephew has broken his neck and will be in a brace recovering for the entire summer (fortunately, it appears there will not be any permanent damage beyond a probable early onset of arthritis). He is normally pretty ...

|
snarky: <chk12>Last night when I looked at this I thought it might be a draw too. The only difference is I thought the draw was after 66 ...Ke5. If white follows with 67 d6, then black holds the white king at bay by stating on e6 and f6. Likewise if white forces the pawn exchange, ...

snarky: Interesting. In a way, this is pretty easy because the position more or less begs for the bishop move.
