May-02-06 Unzicker vs Robatsch, 1961    John Doe: The first move I looked at was Qf8 because it looked strong... of course there's that pesky knight and queen keeping me from mating. At that point I realized rook takes knight got rid of both my problems. Making the position you want come to be seems to be a common theme harped on ...      Dec-10-05 A Bannik vs Tal, 1955    John Doe: Man, I almost had it but I opted for Rf5, hoping to deliver mate that way... I of course overlooked the knight interposition, closing the rook off the rightmost files. D'oh      Nov-07-05 J Murey vs E Mortensen, 1982    John Doe: <patzer2>, I tried to solve your puzzle earlier, but I had class so I couldn't post my solution.. At the time it seemed very plausible that white can create a mating attack with his two bishops on the diagonal. Possibly with a queen sac. The rook on the rank seems poised to ...      Nov-02-05 M Thaler vs S Sloan, 2003    John Doe: lol, I didn't know it was possible to lose after fxe! Interesting choice for opening of the day      Oct-30-05 D Lewis vs A Harju, 1967   John Doe: wow, nice finish. Black is hopeless, he will soon lose his rook. (Loose pieces drop off!)      Oct-18-05 Kasparov vs A Beliavsky, 1983   John Doe: I really liked the "desperado" tactic used by Kasparov on the knight trade. Shame the doubling those pawns wasn't enough to win.      Oct-18-05 V Salnikov vs A Bezgodov, 1991    John Doe: But wasn't the variation played even easier? It appears to me that the bishop promotion made white less likely to trade.      Oct-18-05 B Perenyi vs L Eperjesi, 1974    John Doe: I explored Nxe6 first (I don't usually try to sac the queen as my first variation!). The bishop theme became obvious, but it didn't work with that particular idea. So I explored the other knight check. Not only does it attack the queen, giving me a tempo, it also displaces it from ...      Oct-06-05 Anand vs J Polgar, 2005    John Doe: Anand has to watch out a "sac" on the loose pawns... It might bring his Queen line with his king.      Oct-04-05 J Polgar vs Topalov, 2005    John Doe: Kxd3 or Rxd3 would suffice as white's pawn is still two pushes away from queening.      Oct-03-05 Svidler vs Topalov, 2005     Sep-20-05 N Peterson vs V Ortiz, 1970     Sep-09-05 Ivkov vs L Rellstab, 1950     Sep-04-05 Smyslov vs V Liberzon, 1969     Aug-21-05 G Ravinsky vs G Ilivitsky, 1952     Aug-17-05 V Malinin vs A Andreev, 1989     Aug-10-05 Morozevich vs Adams, 2001     Aug-09-05 N A Legky vs D Fingerov, 2005     Aug-09-05 Tal vs Y Rantanen, 1979     Aug-08-05 P Nikolic vs Timoshenko, 1990     Aug-04-05 A Bacionyte vs Lagno, 1998     Aug-04-05 C von Holstein-Rathlau vs H Kongsted, 2001     Aug-03-05 J Novosak vs F Zemanek, 1995    Aug-03-05 Fischer vs Peil, 1964     Aug-03-05 NN vs de Riviere, 1867     Aug-01-05 Reshevsky vs Larsen, 1971     Jul-27-05 S Conquest vs Petursson, 1992     Jul-09-05 Furman vs A Konstantinopolsky, 1948     Jun-29-05 S Lohou vs T Chevrier, 1999     Apr-09-05 L Stumpers vs Euwe, 1946     Apr-07-05 A Stefanova vs J Xie, 1996     Apr-06-05 Reti vs Breyer, 1913     Mar-29-05 Keene vs D Minic, 1975     Nov-08-04 M Brunoehler vs K Richter, 1941     Oct-03-04 Duras vs Z Barasz, 1912     Sep-18-04 Hydra (Computer)     Sep-18-04 Vitacek vs Duras, 1900     Sep-13-04 Greco vs NN, 1620     Sep-13-04 A Kaspersky vs I Mazel, 1925     Sep-12-04 Tartakower vs R Frentz, 1933     Sep-12-04 Hols vs Bucker, 1792     Sep-12-04 Kasparov vs X3D Fritz, 2003     Sep-06-04 Blatny vs V Buturin, 1995     Sep-05-04 A I Tuzovsky vs Tal, 1975     Sep-05-04 J Soo Hoo vs R Baltazar Pineda, 2004     Sep-05-04 Philidor vs NN, 1990     Sep-03-04 Taimanov vs A Shashin, 1978     Aug-08-04 J Lewi vs J Adamski, 1969     Jul-28-04 S Izbinsky vs Viakhirev, 1909     Jul-27-04 G Burgess vs W N Watson, 1989     Jul-12-04 Short vs Kasparov, 1989     Jul-10-04 S Bouaziz vs Miles, 1979     Jul-09-04 M Mukhitdinov vs Botvinnik, 1967     Apr-18-04 Reti vs Znosko-Borovsky, 1922     Apr-16-04 Euwe vs G Thomas, 1934     Apr-16-04 Greco vs NN, 1620     Mar-27-04 L Shamaev vs A Ufimtsev, 1949     Jan-07-04 M Corden vs J Moles, 1970     Jan-04-04 Blackburne vs NN, 1885     Jan-02-04 Paulsen vs Blackburne, 1873     Dec-30-03 Morphy vs Maurian, 1857     Dec-30-03 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1960     Dec-29-03 J Cervenka vs NN, 2002     Nov-25-03 L Maczuski vs Kolisch, 1863     Nov-14-03 Y Xu vs C Zhu, 2001     Nov-12-03 R Kruis vs C van Dongen, 2001     Nov-10-03 Sicilian (B53)     Oct-29-03 Sax vs Nunn, 1984     Oct-28-03 Anderssen vs Zukertort, 1865     Oct-27-03 S P Johnston vs Marshall, 1899     Oct-27-03 R Nezhmetdinov vs Spassky, 1957     Oct-26-03 E Reichmann vs B Ullrich, 1961     Oct-26-03 W Michel vs Alekhine, 1925     Oct-26-03 Maroczy vs Vidmar, 1922     Oct-25-03 Denker vs H Avram, 1940     Oct-22-03 Alekhine vs A Fletcher, 1928     Oct-21-03 Dreev vs Kamsky, 1987     Oct-21-03 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997     Oct-20-03 Gruenfeld vs G Nagy, 1924     Oct-20-03 Kasparov vs Nunn, 1982     Oct-19-03 J Rodzynski vs Alekhine, 1913     Oct-19-03 Efimov vs Bronstein, 1941     Oct-19-03 J Xie vs J Polgar, 1996    Oct-19-03 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 1993     Oct-18-03 Najdorf vs G Gudmundsson, 1950     Oct-18-03 H Wolf vs Blackburne, 1905     Oct-17-03 Euwe vs S van Mindeno, 1927     Oct-16-03 J Polgar vs Karpov, 2003     Oct-15-03 M Al-Modiahki vs R Sharma, 1988     Oct-14-03 J Amillano vs A Loeffler, 1972     Oct-14-03 Lasker vs Pillsbury, 1895     Oct-07-03 I Nikolic vs G Arsovic, 1989     Oct-02-03 Tartakower vs Euwe, 1948     Oct-02-03 J Polgar vs A Papa, 1987     Oct-02-03 Kamsky vs K Aseev, 1986     Oct-02-03 Alekhine vs Journal l'Action Francaise, 1925     Oct-01-03 Tarrasch vs Alapin, 1889     Sep-26-03 R Majella vs D K Johansen, 2001     Sep-14-03 Tal vs Velimirovic, 1979     Sep-13-03 Polugaevsky vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1958     Sep-11-03 Tal vs Botvinnik, 1960     Sep-10-03 Alekhine vs Ecole Polytechnique Paris, 1925     Sep-07-03 J Rosanes vs Anderssen, 1862     Aug-22-03 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858     Jul-29-03 J Nogueiras vs M Gongora, 2001     Jul-28-03 Salwe vs Alekhine, 1914     Jul-28-03 J Polgar vs Kasparov, 1996     Jul-21-03 Alekhine vs Saemisch, 1923     Jul-19-03 J Mieses vs von Bardeleben, 1905     Jul-17-03 Y Shabanov vs Kramnik, 1990     Jun-14-03 Lasker vs Alekhine, 1914     Jun-14-03 Kasparov vs Smirin, 1988
