Apr-24-05    WTHarvey: Here are some diagrams of 'must win' positions from Sergey's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/iono.html Nov-16-05    lopium: In your page I saw at least a game that ain't here on chessgames.com. R take the N, and white wins. With Q on the 8 flies, with the bishop to check the king in case of R...8. Nice one.
