Jan-03-19 Ragozin vs Veresov, 1945 
|
Chess4Him: An incredible foresight after 23...Kxg7 for White to see a winning endgame. I was curious how play might have resumed rather then resigning so I tried the analysis feature. White was prepared to trade the Rooks for the Queen leading to an overwhelming pawn majority. 1) +2.39 (25 ... |

Chess4Him: Another fine combination after 26.Qxf4!!
The lesson is to "see" the mating net. |

Chess4Him: This is one of the featured games in the book, "Mastering The Najdorf". It is well annotated and demonstrates a solid win for black! |
