Feb-16-21 A Grosar vs Jirovsky, 1991

| Black Vampire: I agree with many members here: this puzzle is rather difficult for a Tuesday, even though that's not a reason to fail! Of course, 25.Nxg6 is a candidate move but in no way the continuation is trivial. |

Nov-26-20 J Mieses vs Reshevsky, 1935
| |
| Black Vampire: <Gaito: This game was mentioned in the recent movie "The Queen's Gambit" (Netflix, October, 2020)> Precisely, but there a rook lands on White's first row at the end, which seemingly doesn't happen here, does it? |

Apr-24-20 P Popovic vs Z Kozul, 1989
| |
| Black Vampire: For the good of Zdenko, Popovic didn´t see 37.Qc6+!! 1-0. 37.d8N+ is undoubtedly eye-catching, but it was a losing move. |

| Black Vampire: I know personally the player with the black pieces and he states the last move was actually 26...Nxf2# |

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 couldn´t win the pawn endgame. |

| |
| 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, there´s 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 Watson vs 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, ... |
