A Jordan vs NN, 1860
cameosis: gross was killed in the concentration camp jasenovac in 1942, together with other members of his family, according to most accounts, not 1943. albeit he was a problemist, i hope a game or two of his shows up eventually.

F de la Paz Perdomo vs Y Quesada Perez, 2012
Rosbach: I played:
36. Rg7+ Kxg7 37. Rf4+ Kh7 38. Rxc4 Rxc4 39. Qe7+ Kg8 40. Qd8+ Kg7 41. Qxb6
Or
36. Rg7+ Kxg7 37. Rf4+ Kh6 38. Rxc4 Rxc4 39. Qe3+ Kg7 40. Qxb6
Yes, 37. Rc6+ was better and more efficient.

F Olafsson vs Fischer, 1958
tbontb: 21.Bc4 is a good human move but (as if to emphasise the danger) Stockfish prefers the R-sacrifice 21.Qg6+ Kh8 22.Qxh6+ Kg8 23.Qxg5+ Kh8 24.Bxc4 Qe7 25.Be5 when Black still struggles to defend.

Anderssen vs Staunton, 1851

I Bilek vs Hort, 1966
