Oct-15-19 Alekhine vs Tylor, 1937 
| |
| stacase: A two stepper second day in a row!
Was this any more difficult to see than yesterday? Fewer pieces and a Knight fork just had to be in the works. You had to see that if black declined the rook sacrifice, and moved 43...Kh7 instead, the fork still works. |

Oct-11-19 M Bluebaum vs A Korobov, 2016
| |
| stacase: So I got the first six moves 16.exf6 to 21.Be3. How many moves do you have to get right to say, "I got it"? |

| |
| stacase: 23.Rxe6 looked like maybe that’s what White would do, but the Umptybump moves later win wasn’t zackly obvious. |
