Mar-18-25 T Wippermann vs L D'Costa, 2005 
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the game line - the old adage that 2 Bs are bettert than R+N seems to hold. |

Jul-30-24 J Enevoldsen vs Alekhine, 1939
| |
| AlicesKnight: A not unfamiliar position. ...Rh1+ forces a black Q entry with ...Ra1+ and a family fork in the offing. Alekhine uses the whole board. |

May-08-24 Ding Liren vs H Abdullah, 2009
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw Rxf6 and chose Rxd5 over the Q check as the gains seemed a bit more tangible but both looked promising. As <saturn2> says, how to win a won game? There is always work to do. |

May-01-24 J Christiansen vs R Junge, 2015
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw this correctly. THe surrender of the Black R instead leads to another 'won game' that needs winning. |

Feb-29-24 S Guliev vs Bologan, 1993
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the right break-in with ...Rxf2 and following. The bishop crossfire is pleasing to see. |

Nov-17-23 Movsesian vs I Chirila, 2010
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the Rxf6 opener and a bit more but not the gameline tactics. A fascinating sequence for my patzer brain. |

Nov-17-23 M A Tabatabaei vs P A Gines Esteo, 2022
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the Nf7 way in and some aftermath. Looking at the Black set-up, are you sure the game did not use random back lines???? |

Nov-16-23 K Shirazi vs R Lemon, 1983
| |
| AlicesKnight: It's all been said. Black doesn't have to take the poisoned pawn. But once he has, perhaps start at 17 with the B sac. |

Nov-12-23 E Torre vs J Peters, 1981
| |
| AlicesKnight: I saw the <Mayankk> line (to my surprise). If Black declines the third sac (Bishop) and gets ...Qc7/d7 in at some point, does this help or will White skewer the Q by checking the K on the 7th rank? |

Oct-19-23 G Kantor vs M Warmerdam, 2022
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the ... Nxd4 and ... Bxh3 break-in, for once. Another double-bishop-on-adjacent-diagonals picture. |
