Feb-14-11 Pillsbury vs Maroczy, 1900    mrvocab: So let me see. For the puzzle of the day on Valentine's Day, we have a game featuring Harry Pillsbury, who's life was cut short by syphilis. You have a strange sense of humor, Chessgames.      Mar-26-07 K Papas vs E Krasenkowa, 2001    mrvocab: If this were bughouse I would play 33. Nb6# !      Sep-20-06 Eliskases vs Hoelzl, 1929    mrvocab: Looks like interference is the theme of the week.      Aug-08-06 Schlechter vs H Wolf, 1906    mrvocab: Amazing how the players knew about the Alekhine Variation of the Slav Defense even before Alekhine himself!      May-09-06 Bronstein vs Shamkovich, 1961    mrvocab: 38. g6 also wins quite nicely.      Mar-06-06 M Guid vs M Cebalo, 2004    mrvocab: The game was more or less even until 23.

Qxe6+ Kh8 39. Nf7+ Kg8 40. Nh6+ Kh8 41. Qg8+ Rxg8 42. Nf7#      Jul-13-05 M Cuellar Gacharna vs Reshevsky, 1967    mrvocab: All hail the powerful f5 bishop! White's mating variations wouldn't work without that very well placed bishop on f5 covering h7 and d7. In 42...R8xe4 43. Qxg5+ 44. Qg7+ Ke8, the d7 escape square is covered by the f5 bishop in 45.
