| Black Vampire: I wonder whether this Hay is the one who played the Hay Attack or something like that beginning with 1.a4 and 2.a5. Quite bizarre, right? |

Apr-30-23 Miles vs Huebner, 1985
| |
| Black Vampire: The worst is that the final position is evaluated by the engine as a clear White advantage, perhaps decisive 😱 and I'm sure they knew it!. Definitely those two mocked us 🤡😤 |

| |
| Black Vampire: Chessgames.com, is it not an annotation mistake? Supposedly the game began with 1.e3. |

Mar-25-23 E Schiller vs H Pack, 1969
| |
| Black Vampire: I feel it is a �manual� mistake: Black wanted to play Qe7 (an inaccurate yet decent defense of the e-pawn) but accidentally he touched the King and, thus, he had to move him; since the only available square was e7, there you have. |

| |
| Black Vampire: A very interesting piece sacrifice ⁉️ I'm convinced the Iranian player brought it from home 🏠 |

Nov-15-22 Ivkov vs Petrosian, 1961
| |
| Black Vampire: Yes, Stockfish assesses the final position as +2.54 😲. Did Ivkov not see that his position was promising, at the least? |

Nov-14-22 Pachman vs A Matanovic, 1961
| |
| Black Vampire: Unfortunately, Pachman's only win in the tourney was this first round game 😥 |

Jul-29-22 Schlechter vs Tarrasch, 1911
| |
| Black Vampire: I meant with my previous comment 'tying the black knight', just in case anyone could get confused. |

Feb-16-21 A Grosar vs M 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. |

| |
| Black Vampire: Has anybody thought about 18...♘xg2! ? |
