Dec-30-17 Grischuk vs Mamedyarov, 2017
|
ll931110: Apparently Grischuk initially claimed three fold repetition correctly, but the arbiter rejected the claim and the game moved on. At the final position, Grischuk claimed again.. |

ll931110: http://chess-results.com/tnr317477.... With this result she got the first IM norm. Had she drawn the last round, she would have got a GM norm. |

ll931110: It was quite obvious for me upfront that I need to draw out the figures, and I did remember seeing that code before. Guess I was quite lucky :) |

Oct-09-12 Taimanov vs Geller, 1953 
|
ll931110: <erniecohen> No, as commented in Bronstein's book: (actually the analysis is given for White's 20th move, but still holds) 21. Qc6 Ra7 22. Qxd6?? Rc7! followed by 23...Be7 wins the Queen. |

Oct-04-12 H Ni vs Le Quang Liem, 2012 
|
ll931110: It's amazing to see 29...h5?? was a blunder, throwing Black a win. 29...Ba3+!! wins the game in the computer-like fashion (with one under promotion and one Q sacrifice in one variation). In time trouble, no wonder why Liem missed this move. |

Sep-10-12 C Hansen vs G Milos, 1990
|
ll931110: White's last move can be a good Thursday/Friday puzzle. |

Feb-21-11 Movsesian vs K Piorun, 2010 
|
ll931110: I'm still unsure what White responds after 16...Kg6 instead of 16...Kf8? |

Jan-05-11 H Banikas vs D Kosic, 2008 
|
ll931110: <YCP> No no, 61... h4 62. Kf6 (remember Black's pawns are going up :D) 61...Rg4+ makes sense. Good Wednesday puzzle. |

Dec-03-10 Y Xu vs A Ushenina, 2006 
|
ll931110: I'm not usually kibitzing, but today is an exception :)
24th, White to move
Black is threatening 24...Qc2+ 25. Ka1 Qc1+ 26. Rxc1 Rxc1#, so
24. Rc3!
Protect the King without loss of time
24... Qc5 (or ...Qb6)
otherwise the Black Knight is gone
But 24. Rxd7!
Win a Knight. ... |
