Jun-17-25 I Smirnov vs A Ipatov, 2007 
| |
| Halldor: The key to solving this is to realize that after 25 ... Rxb4 26 cxb4, the Rook on c2 is pinned, so the queen can move safely to b2. |
|
|
|
Jun-10-25 A Sherzer vs N Petrov, 1988
| |
| Halldor: My first thought was 21 Rd8†. But since the Bh3 is undefended I decided to start with Bishop exchange, then after QxB: 22 Rd8† BxR 23.Nd6† forking K and Q and winning the Queen. — (I'm glad my unauthorized 32-bit version of Stockfish 14.1 under Fritz-7 for Windows XP ... |

Jun-03-25 C Harmon vs W J Donaldson, 1983
| |
| Halldor: A nice Tuesday today. |
|
|
|
Jun-02-25 P Johner vs W M Gattie, 1906
| |
| Halldor: A decent Monday at last! A nice and not too difficult pondering. |
|
|
|
May-09-25 Burgess vs Torre, 1925
| |
| Halldor: Saw this rather quickly. I was actually too hasty in sacrificing the Queen, because I had overlooked White's last queen move. (After 26 P-B3 and QxP. I thought mate was the next move...) Total blindness! — When I played through the game this queen move came as a shock. I paused ... |

|
Apr-28-25 E Atalik vs Kupreichik, 2000
| |
| Halldor: When a pawn has two queening squares it's usually unstoppable. I recognized this pattern immediately and only had to check if the rook sac was the best move. |
|
|
|
Mar-28-25 Vaganian vs K Georgiev, 1984
| |
| Halldor: Didn't get this. I tried to find out if White could afford a quiet move like 30. R-Kt7 in such a tense position (as others have mentioned). — It was fun to figure out Black's counterattack in this case, starting with 30...Kt-K7†. |
|
|
|
Mar-17-25 D Mardle vs N Gaprindashvili, 1965
| |
| Halldor: "Black to play" — and the exchanges aren't over... hm, KxB is too obvious, even for Monday. That made me suspicious, and I started looking for something else, which must have been absolutely crushing. Then I came across: 14... Kt-Kt6† and mate next move. |
|
|
|
Mar-04-25 Csom vs R Fuchs, 1968
| |
| Halldor: I couldn't think of anything better than RxP and thought I was missing something. But White blunders; must have been a time trouble. — Jawohl! Zeitnot heißt es. |
|
|
|
Feb-18-25 P Vargas vs R Bassan Noriega, 2005
| |
| Halldor: After the obvious 18 Rxh7† KxR, I went for 19 Rh1† as many, Bh6. Since 20 RxB didn't work I played BxB, threating BxRf8† (discovered check) and mate follows. To avoid immediate mate, Black has some options, but loses a lot of material. — I didn't consider the text 19 Ng5†, |
