Feb-11-11 J Klein vs B Marcussi, 1963    vangogh228: <<dzechiel: Moving the king doesn't look good (23...Kg8 [not 23...Kh7 or 23...Kh8 because of 24 Qxh6+ and 25 Qg7#] 24 Qxh6 Qxe5 25 Qxg6+ Kh8 26 Qh5+ Kg8 27 Qg5+ Kh8 28 Rg3 threatening 29 Rh3#. I don't see good stuff in black's future.>> Doesn't that lead to a ...      Feb-05-11 D Kontic vs G M Todorovic, 1992    vangogh228: I got the gist of the puzzle, but am not sure about the resignation timing. I guess White's Queenside pawn army was too much.      Nov-23-10 Y Hou vs J Terao, 2010    vangogh228: Why not 23. ... Bf7 . Black loses the exchange, but what else is wrong with it? Is that enough to resign over?      Nov-18-10 Kasparov vs A Georgiadis, 1996    vangogh228: Playing Black, I think I would have taken my chances with 36... Nc8. I'd rather be down a Bishop to none than give up the promotion.      Nov-10-10 Ljubojevic vs G Tringov, 1972    vangogh228: Wait a minute here... Isn't the answer to 41.Nh5+ 41. ... Kf8 42. Qg5 (to cut off escape) 42. ... Ke8 (avoiding Qd8) 43. Rf2 (threatening Ng7#. If 43. ... gxh5, 44. Qg8.) 43. ... Bb5 ??? Any help is appreciated.      Nov-03-10 C Guimard vs Euwe, 1946    vangogh228: Qf2. That's all I've got. Can force a perpetual check.      Oct-08-10 Bronstein vs A Foguelman, 1960    vangogh228: Whenever I get into endgames like this one, it's essentially random chance whether I win or lose. I have little conception of the winning moves in positions like this one.      Aug-24-10 V Lepikhin vs Alekseev, 1959    vangogh228: <Well... unless I missed something, which is likely.> And I did... after 19...Qe3+, Black simply must keep the White King from b1. 20. Kd1 Qf3+ 21. Kd2 Qxf4+ 22. Kd1 Qf3+ rinse and repeat.      Jul-21-10 J Berkvens vs Mikhalevski, 2000    vangogh228: I saw the trap, so I thought "play the Q first, and congratulated myself on being so clever. Just hung the Knight. As my granddaughter would say... "Duuurrrrrrr...."      Jul-14-10 P Deshmukh vs B Thipsay, 2008    vangogh228: I'm not seeing too much wrong with 16. Bg4. I'm probably missing something but I don't see it. I don't ever accept a sacrifice unless I'm ABSOLUTELY sure it won't end in disaster.      Jul-09-10 Naiditsch vs T Dao, 2008     Jul-01-10 P Charbonneau vs H A Hussein Al-Ali, 2008     Jul-25-08 L Y Hsu vs Nunn, 1992     Jul-21-08 Iverhov vs Ilianako, 1957     Jun-15-08 A Hennings vs I Radulov, 1972     Jun-12-08 Y Rusakov vs B Kalinkin, 1963     Jun-11-08 V Iordachescu vs Karpov, 2007     Jun-02-08 A Hansen vs S Jensen, 1945     Jun-01-08 E Mortensen vs L Karlsson, 1988     May-30-08 M Hebden vs E Prie, 1984     May-24-08 Vaganian vs Hjartarson, 1991     May-16-08 M Velcheva vs S Milliet, 2007     May-02-08 V Pina vs D Duarte, 2001     Apr-25-08 Taimanov vs G Lisitsin, 1949     Mar-29-08 L Schmid vs Rossolimo, 1949     Jan-28-08 R Shirley Jr vs B Wall, 1982     Jan-03-08 Janowski vs von Popiel, 1902     Jul-08-07 V Kovacevic vs Timman, 1984     Jun-26-07 A Arulaid vs F Duz-Khotimirsky, 1949     May-27-07 M Ghinda vs C Partos, 1975     Mar-02-07 R Byrne vs V Liberzon, 1976     Feb-18-07 Aronian vs Carlsen, 2007     Feb-17-07 B Kurajica vs P Littlewood, 1980     Jan-31-07 G Daskalov vs N Padevsky, 1970     Dec-27-06 Efimov vs Bronstein, 1941     Dec-22-06 R Richmond vs G Burgess, 2001     Sep-09-06 V Liberzon vs Larsen, 1976     Apr-08-06 Nisipeanu vs Topalov, 2006     Mar-25-06 A Galliamova vs Y Xu, 2006     Mar-09-06 C Lutz vs Ftacnik, 2001     Mar-04-06 Radjabov vs Leko, 2006     Feb-26-06 Leko vs Topalov, 2006     Feb-12-06 Tarrasch vs Ph Gutmann / Hahn / Kuerschner / R, 1895     Jan-29-06 Anand vs Gelfand, 2006     Oct-08-05 Anand vs Topalov, 2005     Jul-30-05 O Hindle vs G Moehring, 1964     Jul-29-05 J Nikolac vs Timman, 1979     Jul-15-05 Ivkov vs A Ingerslev, 1956     Jun-24-05 Hydra vs Adams, 2005     Apr-24-05 Bronstein vs Keene, 1975     Apr-04-05 Keene vs V Kovacevic, 1973     Feb-10-05 Philidor vs NN, 1749     Feb-05-05 Fischer vs Petrosian, 1971     Jan-15-05 A Alavkin vs V Diu, 2002     Jan-04-05 G Timoscenko vs Bareev, 1986    Jan-04-05 A Harju vs M Liimatta, 1986     Jan-02-05 E Spencer / Gerrard vs A Burn / J T Wood, 1912     Dec-31-04 T Kosintseva vs A Galliamova, 2003     Oct-16-04 R Beyen vs Filip, 1971     Jun-19-04 S Yudin vs O Loskutov, 2004     Jun-02-04 D Tomic vs F Winzbeck, 1993     May-22-04 Spassky vs O Averkin, 1973     May-18-04 Sax vs J Fedorowicz, 1986     May-14-04 Tal vs Petrosian, 1974     Apr-23-04 Karpov vs Topalov, 1994     Apr-20-04 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858     Apr-18-04 Anand vs Polugaevsky, 1993     Apr-16-04 R Sanguineti vs Najdorf, 1956     Apr-15-04 Miles vs Uhlmann, 1976     Apr-12-04 S Sulskis vs Van Wely, 2004     Apr-09-04 Petrosian vs Fischer, 1958     Apr-09-04 Spielmann vs Tartakower, 1913     Apr-09-04 I Farago vs Ftacnik, 1978     Apr-09-04 J Sajtar vs M Dietze, 1943     Apr-03-04 Fischer vs Benko, 1959     Apr-02-04 Bronstein vs Korchnoi, 1962     Mar-30-04 I Khamrakulova vs E Ubiennykh, 2001     Mar-25-04 Tartakower vs Spielmann, 1913     Mar-14-04 A Smitten vs A Dadian, 1896     Mar-05-04 F Vallejo Pons vs Kasparov, 2004
