| CaliWest: I got it up through Rxf2, but only cuz I knew it was a puzzle. OTB I doubt i would've played Bxh2+ |

Jun-02-22 V Lilov vs B Rzayev, 2009
| |
| CaliWest: This doesn't seem like much of a puzzle. To me, black's position looks terrible and there are a number of moves that would be good enough to crumble it. |

May-25-22 Vasiukov vs Kholmov, 1964
| |
| CaliWest: I was guessing 25. Rd6. Protect the queen with 25..cxd6 and you get 26. Nxf6+ with mate to follow. But I didn't see that black could just respond with 26..Qxd6 and trade the queen for both rooks and a knight, so I didn't get this one. |

Nov-22-21 Nepomniachtchi vs Bacrot, 2018

| CaliWest: Ah, well I guess because white would play Kg1 and not take the rook |

Nov-22-21 Waitzkin vs Shabalov, 1993

| CaliWest: Does 27...Qb3 work, too? That was my first thought. |

Jul-10-21 Shcherbakov vs Jakovenko, 2001
| |
| CaliWest: What does 24. Rd3 achieve? Why not just 24. Qe7+ right away? |
