Rxf1 Rxf1+ 35. Bg1 Rxg1+ 36. Kh2 Rxg2+ 37. Kh1 Rg5+ and then either 38 Kh2 Bg1 ## or 32 Qxd5 Rxd5 with an easy win.      Jul-17-24 Benko vs A Foguelman, 1960   unferth: ah--and thank you, a bit late. I believe I'd have made white prove a bit more of that.      May-01-24 Schlechter vs Blackburne, 1905    unferth: on further review, I guess black can simply walk his king to the queenside and, after a timely Bf3 & Bd1, use zugzwang to force a road into the enemy camp.      Mar-03-24 H Wang vs C Li, 2023    unferth: <White resigned too early.> after Bxb2+ white gets mated in a few moves.      Feb-07-24 H Wang vs D Arngrimsson, 2008    unferth: ah, I see perfidious has already noted that...      Dec-13-23 I Salgado Lopez vs A Rosell, 2013     Nov-08-23 Janowski vs Marshall, 1912     Jun-28-23 Golombek vs Keres, 1939    Apr-21-23 Nepomniachtchi vs Ding Liren, 2023     Apr-17-23 Nepomniachtchi - Ding World Championship Match (2023)     Nov-15-22 Boris Becker     Oct-25-22 Hans Niemann     Oct-23-22 Tartakower vs P Meitner, 1909     Sep-30-22 Julius Baer Generation Cup (2022)     Sep-30-22 Magnus Carlsen     Sep-26-22 A Powers vs A Dake, 1937     Jul-20-22 Z Gofshtein vs E Kengis, 1978     Jan-11-22 A Ozsvath vs G Kluger, 1962     Dec-09-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Carlsen, 2021     Nov-29-21 I Madl vs J Horvath, 1999     Sep-24-21 Karpov - Korchnoi World Championship Match (1978)     May-08-21 Podebrady (1936)     Apr-24-21 Vachier-Lagrave vs K Alekseenko, 2021     Apr-14-21 Gelfand vs Kharlov, 1999     Jan-28-21 L Spassov vs M Marin, 1993     Jan-23-21 Karpov - Fischer World Championship Match (1975)     Jun-04-20 Chessgames - Sports     May-02-20 T Ernst vs B Kouatly, 1984     Dec-14-19 Navara vs Wojtaszek, 2015     Aug-05-19 J Aagaard vs Fuad Ahmed Mohamme Mufleh, 2006     Nov-16-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018     Dec-08-17 Ding Liren vs E Inarkiev, 2015     Oct-04-17 Khalifman vs D Yuffa, 2016     Mar-25-17 I Cheparinov vs M Drasko, 2007     Jan-10-17 W van Lankveld vs Van der Wiel, 2000     Dec-28-16 F Hedke vs J Brenninkmeijer, 1996    Nov-29-16 Fidel Castro     Nov-17-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016     Nov-14-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016     Nov-01-16 Carlsen - Karjakin World Championship Match (2016)     Oct-05-16 N Batsiashvili vs N Zhukova, 2015     Sep-06-16 Reuben Fine     Aug-17-16 S Niemzowitsch vs NN, 1899     Nov-03-15 Eliskases vs Bolbochan, 1951     Sep-29-15 Bobby Fischer     Sep-17-15 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Sep-10-15 Ragozin vs Bronstein, 1945     Sep-03-15 Svidler vs Khismatullin, 2015     Aug-12-15 S Agdestein vs Karjakin, 2014     Jul-20-15 L Vajda vs V Bui, 2007     Jun-19-15 Norway Chess (2015)     Jun-10-15 Capablanca vs Corzo / Blanco / Portela, 1910     Jun-09-15 H T Nguyen vs Van Huy Nguyen, 2005     Dec-09-14 Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014)     Nov-19-14 Jose Raul Capablanca     Nov-06-14 V Cmilyte vs M Gutad Iversen, 1994     Oct-08-14 K Bischoff vs K Mueller, 2004     Sep-19-14 Bilbao Masters (2014)     Aug-28-14 Sinquefield Cup (2014)     Jun-20-14 Magnus Carlsen     Apr-11-14 Viswanathan Anand     Mar-26-14 R Nezhmetdinov vs N Krogius, 1965     Mar-21-14 Tal vs B Dudley, 1964     Feb-22-14 0     Feb-20-14 J Hanken vs Santasiere, 1957    Nov-20-13 S Foisor vs E Formanek, 2012     Nov-18-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)     Nov-13-13 Rublevsky vs Z Varga, 2001     Jul-30-13 Jeremy Silman     Jul-12-13 Nigel Short     May-08-13 Fischer vs Fine, 1963
