Feb-07-23 O Sarapu vs B J Halpin, 1962 
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the Neg6+ line. Heavy artillery supporting the cavalry charge. |

Jan-31-23 O Sarapu vs Y E Liao, 1982
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found ...Nc3+ and win of Q for R+N; also <FM DHL>'s point, significant. Starting a move earlier might have added some difficulty, and before 31.Nb4 it was not there at all. Good vision, leading to yet another "won game" that requires winning. |

Jan-30-23 D Prelevic vs P Orlov, 2001
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the line that K.A.B. and others also point out. Better than 23 ... Rc5+ which would only have won the Q. |

Jan-25-23 Cory Riegelhaupt vs A Fishbein, 2011
| |
| AlicesKnight: ... Qe3 looked good but I expected White to do something more helpful than capture the B. |

Jan-24-23 G Capelli vs N Sulava, 1989
| |
| AlicesKnight: ... Nxf3+ wins the Q or leads to rapid mate. Either way, good for Black. |

Jan-24-23 G Abrahams vs R Thynne, 1929
| |
| AlicesKnight: Abrahams wrote; "Move 20 is one of very few moves known to the author to merit an exclamation mark although the main variation is only 2 moves deep." (The Chess Mind). He evidently liked it. Thynne 'iced'. |

Jan-22-23 Speelman vs Tal, 1985
| |
| AlicesKnight: 15.Kg3 is a big error if the ensuing Re3 is foreseeable - in blitz - not by me .... the magician from Riga is different. (And I quite like the pun too ...) |

Jan-20-23 Rubinstein vs Vidmar, 1918
| |
| AlicesKnight: Like others I went for Kf3 and a run to the corner after ...Ng3++, with an unclear position. It certainly was a Rubinstein "variation". |

Jan-18-23 B Maksimovic vs M Jevtic, 2006
| |
| AlicesKnight: I found the basic gameline and got the idea of the Q getting closer before Rf3 to limit the possile escape attempts. One that needs to be double-checked before execution. |

Jan-17-23 M Angelis vs E Paoli, 1988
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the correct line(s). <sfm> is right - but those two woeful black bishops are something ... |
