Jun-04-15 R Vera vs M Leon Hoyos, 2011    BlackWaive: I went with <34...Qc6>, which <almost> works. White's only defense is <35. c5!>: 34...Qc6 35. c5 Bh3 36. Bxh3 and now 36...Ne2+ is unplayable due to the availability of 37. Qxe2.      Sep-14-11 Bagirov vs A Machulsky, 1975    BlackWaive: I found 23. Qd3 right away, but only because I recently saw a similar tactic in Kamsky vs Svidler, 2011 .      Jun-02-10 Z Nilsson vs E Book, 1946    BlackWaive: It took me quite a bit of time to discover white's weak back rank. You'd think the black queen would be involved in the mating attack somehow, but it turns out she's used as the bait, otherwise forking knight and rook. Interesting.      May-19-10 Pulvermacher vs Capablanca, 1907    BlackWaive: I pondered over the puzzle position for nearly 20 minutes, but most of this time was spent convincing myself that Black is winning after 10. Bxf6. I'm still unsure of the exact continuation to follow.      May-17-10 I Krush vs V Akobian, 2010    BlackWaive: Akobian missed 86...Rd2, which wins by force: <87. Rxf7 Rxd4> is an easy win for Black, since White's king will be permanently cut out of the action. <87. Rf4 Ke6 88. Kf1 f5 89. Ke1 Rh2!> and Black will make headway into White's camp. I believe that Akobian's ...      May-14-10 K Aseev vs V Nevostrujev, 2002    BlackWaive: Spent about 20 minutes on this puzzle position. I immediately noticed that Black must prevent 32. Rxd7 or his position falls apart. After determining that 31...Rxd1+ was unproductive, I decided that the puzzle involved a more forcing solution. I moved on to consider Qxg2+, ...      Mar-30-10 Kotov vs Smyslov, 1950    BlackWaive: 42...Rf2+! is a great way to take advantage of the stalemated King, forcing open the g-file for the Queen.      Feb-17-10 B Larsen vs Miles, 1979    BlackWaive: I spent a good deal of time trying to make 60. Rb3+ Ka7 61. Rb7+ Ka8 work for White, to no avail. Then I considered pushing the pawn, and saw the zugzwang. Funny how I didn't immediately consider pushing the pawn...      Dec-17-09 Santa Claus    BlackWaive: Dear Santa, They're always after me lucky charms!      Sep-03-09 S Savchenko vs A Ivanov, 1991    BlackWaive: Difficult to find a candidate move, suggesting a sharp tactical line. However I only looked at 37. Ne6+.      Aug-20-09 Gligoric vs Sveshnikov, 1986     Aug-19-09 K Lerner vs F Sideifzade, 1979     Aug-13-09 Dolmatov vs Shamkovich, 1979     Aug-12-09 Schlechter vs P Meitner, 1898     Aug-10-09 S Lemieux vs D Feoktistov, 2001     Aug-06-09 Averbakh vs Spassky, 1961     Aug-04-09 J Schulten vs E Rousseau, 1841     Jul-29-09 A Dunkelblum vs Euwe, 1950     Jul-22-09 Karpov vs Ribli, 1986     Jul-21-09 A Beliavsky vs Bacrot, 1999     Jul-16-09 Kasparov vs Smirin, 1988     Jul-08-09 Fedorchuk vs Buhmann, 1999     Jun-24-09 Ivanchuk vs Carlsen, 2009     Jun-18-09 Shabalov vs R Elseth, 1991     Jun-13-09 Lasker vs Tarrasch, 1914     Jun-10-09 M Burkett vs D Fritzinger, 1969     Jun-09-09 R Ye vs Van Wely, 1997     Jun-02-09 Tukmakov vs Speelman, 1994     May-14-09 J Esser vs Breyer, 1916     Apr-21-09 I Sokolov vs T Middelburg, 2009     Apr-15-09 Chigorin vs Schlechter, 1905     Apr-09-09 G Szabo vs S Zawadzki, 2004     Apr-08-09 H Melkumyan vs Nepomniachtchi, 2009     Mar-26-09 Leko vs Kramnik, 2009     Mar-26-09 R Janssen vs I Sokolov, 2002     Mar-23-09 L De Veauce vs Keene, 1963     Mar-19-09 Amber Tournament (Rapid) (2009)     Mar-10-09 O Loskutov vs D Chuprikov, 2000     Feb-24-09 E Williams vs Harrwitz, 1846     Feb-23-09 G Minchev vs D Miraschiev, 1986     Feb-19-09 Hracek vs Kramnik, 2002     Feb-09-09 Lusgin vs A L Ioffe, 1968     Jan-28-09 A Naumann vs W Teerapabpaisit, 2008     Jan-27-09 Suba vs Portisch, 1984     Jan-16-09 Bareev vs V Akopian, 2000     Jan-15-09 Anand vs I Morovic Fernandez, 1990     Jan-07-09 A Stukopin vs B Hasenohr, 2008     Dec-30-08 N Lisicic vs D Arsic, 2008     Nov-18-08 Korchnoi vs P Bakker, 1976     Nov-11-08 Lasker vs S Polner, 1889     Nov-04-08 V Disawal vs M Anshuman, 2008     Oct-29-08 A Strikovic vs Suba, 1994     Oct-20-08 H Hasan vs M Littleton, 1972     Oct-15-08 R G Wade vs R F Boxall, 1953     Oct-09-08 Tolush vs N Kopilov, 1954     Sep-25-08 Ivkov vs R Garcia, 1964     Sep-24-08 Reshevsky vs B Ivanovic, 1976     Sep-17-08 Geller vs N Novotelnov, 1951     Sep-15-08 Negi vs M Hebden, 2005     Sep-10-08 Petrosian vs A Matanovic, 1959     Sep-08-08 Jansa vs Smejkal, 1969     Sep-04-08 Tseshkovsky vs I Polgar, 1964     Sep-03-08 K Opocensky vs Alekhine, 1925     Sep-02-08 S Williams vs M Hebden, 2006     Sep-01-08 Szabo vs L Liptay, 1962     Aug-30-08 Gunsberg vs Chigorin, 1890     Aug-28-08 A Luczak vs Fedorowicz, 1979     Aug-27-08 Vasiukov vs Taimanov, 1965     Aug-26-08 Anand vs P Thipsay, 1987     Aug-25-08 P Zilles vs V Kutsankov, 2005     Aug-21-08 Lutikov vs Tal, 1965     Aug-20-08 O Sarapu vs Browne, 1972     Aug-19-08 H Ibrahim vs Sadvakasov, 1995     Aug-18-08 N Elisons vs A Nimzowitsch, 1915     Aug-18-08 Bird's Opening (A02)     Aug-17-08 Van Wely vs J Piket, 1996     Aug-15-08 A Lukin vs Balashov, 1967     Aug-14-08 Winawer vs Chigorin, 1882     Jul-29-08 Kotronias vs D King, 1990
