Apr-21-12 A Ozsvath vs K Honfi, 1953    Quentinc: I found this pretty easy for a Saturday too. A game full of great knight forks.      Apr-20-12 Larsen vs A Matanovic, 1965    Quentinc: <Tired Tim,> that's because Dzechiel wasn't presented with "32, White to move and win." I'm sure I wouldn't have seen this OTB, but as a puzzle I found it pretty easy for a Friday. Much easier than yesterday's. On the other hand, if it was the puzzle was 31 white to move and ...      Mar-25-12 Short vs Miles, 1984    Quentinc: <Al Wazir><But look at it this way: if the puzzle had consisted of the position after 22. Nb6 Ne2, don't you think you would have found 23. Qf8+ too?> Not in a million years. Of course, 22...Ne2 didn't occur to me either.      Mar-09-12 Radjabov vs Karjakin, 2012    Quentinc: A fascinating miss. Because it's a puzzle, I "knew" the answer was b6 and b7, and that the key would involve a fork on c2 preventing the Black rook from stopping the pawn on the b file. And, STILL, I couldn't get it! I even tried starting with Rc4+.      Mar-05-12 Keene vs R Calvo Minguez, 1968    Quentinc: Not only that, the "debate" inspired the first <chrisowen> post I think I actually understand (and agree with completely!).      Dec-23-11 Kibitzer's Café    Quentinc: <Albertan>, <MAJ>, <Akatombo> and <Polarx>, thanks very much for the input!      Dec-08-11 Alekhine vs R L Bornholz, 1929    Quentinc: Vastly easier than yesterday's. I missed yesterday's altogether (I was part of the Rxa5 crowd); this one took less than a minute.      Dec-02-11 J Zawadzka vs L Schut, 2010    Quentinc: <thegoldenband,> I had the exact same reaction. Honestly, I think it's hit or miss to a large extent. I can't see any pattern to the ones I find really easy, and then the ones I struggle with that everyone else seems to find easy.      Nov-18-11 I Jones vs J Dueball, 1974    Quentinc: Funny. Everyone seemed to get yesterday's and I missed it. But this one leaped out at me in under 30 seconds.      Nov-04-11 Szabo vs Kotov, 1946    Quentinc: Like everyone else, 16.Nd5 jumped right out at me, but after 18...g6 (which along with Bf5, I never considered), why not simply 19.Bxe7? 19...gxf5 20.Bxf8 and there are too many pieces hanging for my brain to deal with, but it still seems like White has a lot more of them.      Oct-21-11 H Bouwmeester vs Botvinnik, 1958     Oct-20-11 T Demetriescu vs Nagy, 1936     Oct-14-11 M Abbink vs Y H de Rover, 1997     Sep-12-11 J Lechtynsky vs J Kubicek, 1968     Sep-10-11 M Sion Castro vs Z Franco Ocampos, 1989     Sep-09-11 I Balinov vs M Cebalo, 1996     Sep-07-11 Timman vs A Pomar, 1977     Sep-02-11 Shirov vs M Leon Hoyos, 2011     Jul-17-11 C Garcia Palermo vs P Wolff, 1986     Jul-16-11 D Gurevich vs Kuperman, 1978     Jul-15-11 A Drvota vs Z Szymczak, 1978     Jul-06-11 P Beggi vs G Bocchicchio, 1994     Jun-24-11 M Pavlovic vs Carlsen, 2006     Jun-08-11 O W Field vs O Tenner, 1922     Jun-04-11 S Ovsejevitsch vs A Goloshchapov, 1997     May-18-11 S P Johnston vs Marshall, 1899     May-17-11 O Chajes vs C Jaffe, 1911     Apr-12-11 Spassky vs O Averkin, 1973     Mar-31-11 Onischuk vs C Balogh, 2008     Mar-26-11 Gelfand vs Shirov, 1993     Mar-25-11 Chigorin vs D Przepiorka, 1906     Jan-08-11 Eliskases vs Szabo, 1962     Jan-03-11 Gufeld vs L Espig, 1980     Dec-22-10 Z Franco Ocampos vs A Alawieh, 1992     Dec-19-10 Balashov vs A Greenfeld, 1985     Dec-05-10 Caruana vs F Vallejo Pons, 2008     Nov-24-10 Topalov vs M Lodhi, 2010     Nov-12-10 Korneev vs R O Perez Garcia, 2000     Nov-10-10 Piass vs J Neimanis, 1986    Nov-10-10 Ljubojevic vs G Tringov, 1972     Oct-28-10 S Matthews vs P Seegolam, 2010     Oct-14-10 D H Campora vs R Cifuentes, 2004     Oct-05-10 R Leitao vs Caruana, 2010     Sep-24-10 K Berg vs G Jacoby, 2007     Sep-01-10 Landa vs M Leon Hoyos, 2008     Jun-10-10 B Esen vs Vitiugov, 2010     Jun-02-10 Z Nilsson vs E Book, 1946     May-20-10 Tal vs K Grigorian, 1982     May-01-10 V Goglidze vs A Bannik, 1954     Apr-21-10 M Ujtelky vs Parma, 1966     Apr-11-10 Keene vs E Mortensen, 1983     Apr-09-10 Englisch vs Gunsberg, 1885     Apr-08-10 Kasparov vs P Nikolic, 1994     Mar-28-10 J Vetemaa vs Shabalov, 1986     Mar-21-10 Z Izoria vs F K Volkmann, 2003     Mar-20-10 Anand vs R Kempinski, 2010     Mar-18-10 J Polgar vs K Arkell, 1988     Mar-17-10 T van Scheltinga vs Stahlberg, 1950     Mar-16-10 Mason vs Janowski, 1900     Mar-15-10 E Diemer vs Portz, 1948     Mar-14-10 D S Botto vs L Christiansen, 1975     Mar-13-10 E Sedina vs M Hoffmann, 2010     Mar-12-10 V Sozin vs P Romanovsky, 1925     Mar-11-10 Levenfish vs N Riumin, 1936     Mar-10-10 J Altusky vs Fischer, 1954     Mar-07-10 M Brodsky vs Kramnik, 1991     Mar-05-10 S Brzozka vs Bronstein, 1963     Mar-03-10 Ribli vs Unzicker, 1985     Mar-02-10 Adams vs Lputian, 1995     Mar-01-10 J Arizmendi Martinez vs J M Gomez Esteban, 2006     Feb-28-10 W N Watson vs D Ciric, 1991     Feb-25-10 R G Hegde vs S Palatnik, 1988     Feb-24-10 R Fuchs vs Korchnoi, 1965     Feb-23-10 S Horrocks vs G Mancini, 2010     Feb-19-10 Robson vs I Stavrianakis, 2009     Feb-16-10 R Mateo vs C Cuartas, 1984     Feb-14-10 Z Gofshtein vs Tseitlin, 1991     Feb-12-10 Shirov vs L Dominguez Perez, 2010     Feb-11-10 J Jirka vs Tkachiev, 2009     Feb-06-10 P Cramling vs S Kindermann, 1991     Jan-31-10 E Kengis vs R Djurhuus, 1991     Jan-30-10 Ding Liren vs H Ni, 2009     Jan-27-10 Kasimdzhanov vs H Hofstra, 2004     Jan-26-10 A Farahat vs A Surjadnji, 2001     Jan-24-10 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1991     Jan-23-10 Krasenkow vs M Markovic, 1990     Jan-20-10 Nakamura vs P Hanko, 2001     Jan-16-10 Gipslis vs Hracek, 1991     Jan-14-10 R Martin del Campo vs Hjartarson, 1990     Jan-10-10 A Huzman vs I Khmelnitsky, 1989     Jan-08-10 N Krogius vs N Aratovsky, 1945     Jan-07-10 C Lutz vs J Balcerak, 2000     Jan-06-10 E Tate vs S Sulskis, 2001     Dec-28-09 Robatsch vs Jansa, 1974     Dec-26-09 A Huss vs Lobron, 1985     Dec-25-09 J Becerra Rivero vs H Spangenberg, 1994     Dec-23-09 Miles vs M Nedobora, 1994     Dec-20-09 Nakamura vs I Ibragimov, 2004     Dec-19-09 R Bator vs Bareev, 1987     Dec-15-09 E Gerigk vs H Teske, 2009     Dec-14-09 Nyback vs U Von Herman, 2009     Dec-13-09 Reshevsky vs Larsen, 1968     Dec-12-09 Tartakower vs Vidmar, 1905     Dec-10-09 Uhlmann vs Larsen, 1971     Dec-08-09 Botvinnik vs Kotov, 1946     Dec-07-09 J Rott vs F Blatny, 2002     Dec-06-09 Unzicker vs A Dueckstein, 1967     Nov-29-09 Miles vs Z Mestrovic, 1990     Nov-26-09 Suetin vs Botvinnik, 1952     Nov-25-09 L Fried vs Schlechter, 1894     Nov-15-09 P Peelen vs J Fedorowicz, 1990     Nov-12-09 Van Essen vs C Woskoff, 1931     Nov-08-09 Macieja vs Ponomariov, 1997     Nov-06-09 Tarrasch vs Reti, 1922     Nov-05-09 M Neibults vs Tal, 1954
