Apr-08-09 H Melkumyan vs Nepomniachtchi, 2009 
|
spreadsanity: Qh5 fails because of Rxg3, white can snatch the pawn and the advantage has gone. I didn't get it either :) |

Mar-31-09 Kudrin vs M Wilder, 1987 
|
spreadsanity: That's 2 days in a row I've found the less direct winning move (34...Nc3) - once I find one that wins I stop looking around for perfection. |

Mar-31-09 M Rogan vs J Rizzitano, 1989 
|
spreadsanity: I missed a 'Monday'. Quite easy to 'miss' as there were so many winning moves- I went with the first one I saw. Not really a good chess problem from this point of view, it would have been OK if it had said "find the mate in 6" or something. |

Mar-10-09 O Loskutov vs D Chuprikov, 2000 
|
spreadsanity: <dzechiel After 18...Nxe5 19 Qxe5 white defends his knight and attacks the black rook on h8, leaving white a piece ahead.> OK, so black plays 19...Rh7, and now white has to worry about his pawn on e2. There's no quick win in this line, shame you missed it as a defence for |

spreadsanity: Cheparinov's voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR2J... Alan Partridge: "One more thing, are you a boy or a girl?"
Cheparinov: "I'm a boy!"
Alan Partridge - "Really?"
Cheparinov: "My name is Ivan!"
Alan Partridge - "It could be Ivanna! Well you sound like a girl!"

Feb-21-09 Kamsky vs Topalov, 2009 
|
spreadsanity: <TheAlchemist 50.Nf1 Kg8 51.Nfe3> That looks to me like it would weaken white's position and leave this game heading for a draw. |

Feb-03-09 M R Kaldegg vs G Zeissl, 1903 
|
spreadsanity: The double-check rather limits blacks options, has to move the king rather than capturing or interposing. |

Jan-25-09 R Vera vs S Garcia Martinez, 2001 
|
spreadsanity: Black's move 21 looks weak to me, I think 21... Qa4 is a lot more promising, a lot of white's advantage is negated. |

Jan-14-09 Yudasin vs J Polgar, 1991 
|
spreadsanity: I prefer 37.Rxe8 - leaves the white queen in a better position to help out the king. |
