CC0112358: <agb2002> nice analysis! There is also a possible black continuation with a Queen sacrifice 16.....Qxg5. Exchanges the Queen for two small pieces. Don't think it is sufficient for black to prevail but it looked like a possible counter. |

CC0112358: Oops! 21.....Nf5, interesting approach...works well too. |

Jun-14-14 Furman vs Kholmov, 1963 
|
CC0112358: <agb2002> and <Patriot> Same here. Rxh6+ seemed obvious and from there the path to White's win, while shifty, looks reasonably straightforward. After looking at Furman's approach I was a bit miffed. Not sure what he was thinking. He is obviously smarter than I. |

CC0112358: On second pass it looks like Qh5 is a much better approach |

May-13-14 T Rodshtein vs S Gvetadze, 2013 
|
CC0112358: To <PiinedPiece> and to <Marmot PFL> points, Sopio worked very hard to loose this game. After 20. e5 she decided to go out to lunch. |

|
CC0112358: The unassuming h6 pawn is the real king of game |

May-05-14 T Sage vs M Zelkind, 1984 
|
CC0112358: White has a rook, a bishop and a pawn for two knights. Black also threatens dxc4. The most obvious:
24. Rxh5+ Nxh5
25. Qxh5#
Also possible:
24. Qxh5+ Nxh5
25. Rxh5#
24. Rh7+ leads to a much longer ordeal but also mates for white. |

May-04-14 Y Yu vs A Zatonskih, 2013 
|
CC0112358: Black is up one pawn. White's pieces are tangled. White must clear some space in order to attack black's king. Therefore, perhaps sacrificing the Rook?
15. axb5 Qxa1
16. Bc6+ Ke7
Now what? I suspect the white Queen can now start moving and the black Queen will need to retreat ... |

May-02-14 M Raicevic vs P Lukacs, 1984 
|
CC0112358: Material is even. White must protect the g2 bishop at all costs from the d5 black bishop attack 24......Nxf2
25. Nf3 Qxe2!
26. Re1 Nh3+
27. Kh1 Qxf3
From here no matter white's response (Rg2, Rg1, Bxf3.....) all lead to a very quick mate. White's queen on a3 is ... |

Apr-27-14 T Espig vs L Zinn, 1973 
|
CC0112358: White is down two pawns
29. d6 Bh6
30. Qe5+ Kb8
31. d7 Bxf4
32. Qxf4+ Kb7
........
From here, white's pieces (Q, B, R) will chase the black King around the board until a point where the King is trapped |
