Jan-12-14 Tal vs Lutikov, 1964 
|
Amadori: After the smoke clears white is down in material. Is that the solution to the puzzle, or are we supposed to see the the black knight corral himself into a corner too? |

Jan-11-14 Aronian vs Anand, 2013 
|
Amadori: <Jimfromprovidence> Even Anand wasn't sure how his attack would play out, as he claims he found 19…f5 OTB. |

Jan-11-14 Shabalov vs Smirin, 1992 
|
Amadori: <pcarpane: how about 38.Nf7?> Unfortunately the knight is pinned. |

Jan-08-14 J Mieses vs J Finn, 1903 
|
Amadori: <can we call a puzzle where White doesn't reach a material superiority until 10 moves later "easy"?> 18.Nf6+ achieves the same result in 4 moves, except white takes the F or H pawn instead of the C pawn. |

If only life were that easy. |

|
Amadori: A Polish opening ends with a Greek tragedy! |

Jan-04-14 Kasparov vs Smirin, 1988 
|
Amadori: OK. I went back and read the thread. D'Oh! |

Jan-04-14 Naiditsch vs Koneru, 2003 
|
Amadori: Very subtle. The "win" consists of 2 pawns if black retreats with 27...Kd8? |

Jan-03-14 Ljubojevic vs M Milicevic, 1974 
|
Amadori: <32...Qg7. Now what?> Now get out of the way and push the pawn. Pretty much the same result as the 30...Qg7 line. As <gotgat54> already noted, the game line is flawed. |

Jan-02-14 G Page vs Petrov, 1933 
|
Amadori: <But not this time as Bug's Bunny would say!> Russians would never study Bugs Bunny. I believe it was Dirty Harry who said "not this time... punk" |
