May-28-17 Kasparov vs Tal, 1988
| |
| Black Vampire: Aspirator, what after 37...f6!?. Now 38.f3 fails due to 38...f5!! I think Garry did it well. He just couldnīt win the pawn endgame. |

Jan-16-13 Lasker vs Burn, 1889 
| |
| Black Vampire: Hey, guys, am I wrong or the order is just the opposite? I mean, Lasker (White) vs Burn is the right game. I request chessgames.com to change it. |

Aug-17-12 Morozevich vs Jakovenko, 2006
| |
| Black Vampire: <geniokov> Unfortunately, given the fact the ending K+Q vs K+R is a mathematical win for the strong side, thereīs no useful golden rule for the weak side, except at certain stalemate positions, such as the one which happened in the game. |

Mar-01-10 W Watson vs D Ciric, 1991
| |
| Black Vampire: This is a message for Chessgames.com. As many kibitzers have said, 40.Ka5!! draws (my engine Glaurung 2.1 agrees this move draws mathematically), so this puzzle is 'ill-solved'. I mean that White played badly and the correct solution forces a perpetual check by Black, ... |

Dec-28-09 Mednis vs W G Addison, 1963
| |
| Black Vampire: Well, chessgames.com, this game must have an error, because 32.Qg3 is not credible (White would lose his Queen!). Probably the correct move is 32.Qg4. Time to test. |

Oct-12-09 Tarrasch vs Lasker, 1908
| |
| Black Vampire: According to some Chessgames.comīs kibitzers, after 119...Rb3, Tarrasch won: 120.Rh2+,Rh3 121.Bf6+, but here Black can play 121...Kg3 = and not the horrible 121...Kh5??????, letting a mate in one move! Remember that the White king is in 'f5' and not in 'f4'. |

Dec-29-08 W Riemer vs W O Megier, 1988
| |
| Black Vampire: Well, <whiteshark>, the main threat after 49.Rd2!! is 50.Nc8+, Kf7 51.R2d7++. |

Dec-13-08 Kasparov vs N R McDonald, 1986
| |
| Black Vampire: <DoubleCheck>No, 55.Kh4 doesnīt win, because of 55...Rg4+! 56.Kxg4, Qd7+! (attacking besides the White Queen) 57.Qxe7 and itīs a stalemate!!!, as <socrates> said a few comments ago. |

Jul-09-07 L Engels vs L Roux Cabral, 1941
| |
| Black Vampire: Yes, itīs right: 77.Kf4! wins, but it was a draw if Black had played 76...Ke7 or 76...Kf7, having access to f6 (or f8), instead of the careless move 76...Kd7?? |
