Dec-29-10 Capablanca Chess Club vs J Corzo, 1911 
| |
| AxelBoldt: It appears Black is OK after 18...Rc4, for example 19.Rae1 Qf5 20.Qd8+ Be7 21.Qb6+ Kg5 22.Nd4 Qf6 [DIAGRAM] 23.Re5+! Kh6! 24.Nf5+ Kg6 25.Qe3 h6 26.Nxe7+ Nxe7 27.Rxe7 Rc3 [DIAGRAM] with equal position. |

Dec-18-10 P Carlsson vs Timman, 2007
| |
| AxelBoldt: There is another trick in the position: 23...Qb4 24.Re2 Rxf2? is refuted with the only move 25.Ngf4! (25.Rxf2 Qe1+; 25.Ne7+ Qxe7 26.Rxf2 Be3; 25.Nxf8 Rxe2 26.Qxe2 Kxf8 and White can't take on e6 because of Bb5+, so the central pawns should win for Black) after which Black has to ... |

Oct-06-10 Bareev vs J Piket, 2000
| |
| AxelBoldt: I was expecting 30...Ned5, but the Fire engine gives a nice win for White: 31. Bxd5! Rxe6 (31...cxd5 32. c6) 32. Bxe6 Nd5 33. Rxd5! cxd5 34. Bd7. |

Jan-14-10 R Martin del Campo vs Hjartarson, 1990
| |
| AxelBoldt: 36...Qe4 wasn't good, because it allowed 37.Rd1 with the idea 37...Nxg2 Rd4 or 37...Rxg2 38.Rd8+ Kh7 39.Qd3. Better was 36...Rxg2 37.Re1 Rf2 and then either 38.Qh3 Re2 or 38.Qg1 Nf3. |

Jan-13-10 Najdorf vs E Torre, 1976

| AxelBoldt: 56.Kh1 Rf1+ 57.Kh2 f4 and the f-pawn marches through. |

Dec-12-09 Tartakower vs Vidmar, 1905
| |
| AxelBoldt: <Quentinc: By the way, earlier in the game, how would White have responded to the "obvious" 22...Bxe5?> White can play 23.Rh1 e6 24.Bxg6 which looks pretty good. |

| AxelBoldt: What would White do after 16... Qa5? |

Sep-26-09 I Rogers vs T Tao, 2004
| |
| AxelBoldt: I saw 19.Nxd5, but I was afraid of 19...Bxg5 20.hxg5 exd5 21.e6 Qc7 22.exf7 Ne7. Or should White take with the knight on g5? |
