Jan-24-08 Adams vs Van Wely, 2008 
|
Capablanca44: The double threat of loosing the Knight or loosing the exchange of Knight for Rook was too much for Black. White's two outside pass Pawns would also make it an easy endgame win.Tactics and positional play ensured the win for White. Great game Michael!! |

Jan-20-08 D Reinderman vs Kasparov, 1999 
|
Capablanca44: Kasparov made sure that White`s King did not have any access to the adjacent c file. Another technique to ensure the safety of the Pawn Duo. We can really learn a lot from the expert endgame technique used in this game. Hence the placement of the Black Rook on the c file was ... |
