Oct-24-20 S Sargissyan vs Read Samadov, 2018    ChessCoachClark: The 'Outpost Queen' is a real cutie as well as the final tactic, which will be a contemporary demonstration to my students of a Double Attack which is not a Fork. I'm motivated to make a game collection of more such games, now. :-) Thanks CG! Be well, be safe everyone.      Jun-26-20 A Zude vs L Sanchez Botella, 2014    ChessCoachClark: The finish is a work of beauty! The Knight makes a Double Check Royal Fork to win this game in elegant style. Exceptional!      May-27-20 A Fomez vs M Lanzani, 1988    ChessCoachClark: Yes, it is valid to criticize the quality of this game. Stockfish analysis makes that plain and FSR points out that '30. Qe2# is quicker.' Yet, it does belong in this database as a trivia piece-- castling mates are rare enough. Students can be motivated by the point of ...      May-25-20 Y Kambrath vs M Scherer, 2013    ChessCoachClark: A fascinating play in this game is the capture double check by a PAWN at 14. exd7++. Is this rare or what?? Beautiful, no doubt, though!      May-15-20 Z Franco Ocampos vs Guimard, 1980    ChessCoachClark: White was blindly greedy with 25. Qxe2, so Black clobbers him with 25. ... Ng3+ for a Discovery En Garde with check and another En Garde to boot! Stockfish shows a mate in eight, so what else could White do now but resign??      Apr-29-20 Schlechter vs Stubenrauch, 1901   ChessCoachClark: Excellent point by <Nomen Nescio>. This contest is game #5018 on page 970 in the tome CHESS: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games by Laszlo Polgar, but he, like Schlechter, also misses this earlier maneuvering point.      Apr-29-20 Yates vs V Marin y Llovet, 1930   ChessCoachClark: This game (with the alternate score) appears as game #5017 on page 970 in the tome CHESS: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games by Laszlo Polgar. Polgar shows a mate in four, but Stockfish 9 only gives it a +5.73 advantage.      Apr-29-20 K Richter vs K Darga, 1950   ChessCoachClark: This game is #5015 on page 969 in the tome CHESS: 5334 Problems, Combinations and Games by Laszlo Polgar. 12. Bxh7! is the key/highlighted and diagrammed move in that book. Bxh7 or Qxh7 is the theme of that section. Also, Stockfish 9 analysis takes 12. Bxh7 as the best ...      Apr-22-20 J Moeller vs H L Jonsson, 1901   ChessCoachClark: This game is an early and useful example of the Vukovic Mate. Note that an Arabian Mate results by the alternative 37. ... Kh8 38. Rh7#. Great for distinguishing between the two classical mate patterns. Thank you CG for adding this game to your database!!      Mar-14-20 A Sabotic vs Andrey Voropaj, 1997   ChessCoachClark: Thank you ChessGames for adding this game to your database. This game ends with a Piling On tactic against a Bishop under an Absolute Pin. Exemplary demonstration for beginners and intermediates needing review in my chess classes.      Feb-04-20 Benko vs W Hartmann, 1984    Sep-26-19 L Shamkovich vs Alburt, 1983     Jul-09-19 M Muzychuk vs Yifan Hou, 2016     Jul-09-19 M Rivas Pastor vs Huebner, 1985     Jul-08-19 Ivan Buljovcic vs Maric, 1967     Jun-27-19 Doroshkievich vs Shabalov, 1990     Jun-19-19 Chandler vs A Fernandes, 2001     Jan-26-19 Tal vs Pliss, 1950     Nov-22-18 M Mosadeghpour vs V Sanal, 2015    Apr-23-18 Aronian vs P Smirnov, 2004    Apr-23-18 V Gashimov vs Xu Jun, 2004    Apr-23-18 Filippov vs Van Wely, 2004    Apr-23-18 Pelletier vs S Kristjansson, 2005    Apr-23-18 Ivanchuk vs Karjakin, 2006    Apr-23-18 Lautier vs Sutovsky, 2005    Apr-23-18 Timman vs Kuzubov, 2005    Apr-23-18 Kramnik vs Zhong Zhang, 2004    Apr-23-18 Granda Zuniga vs Naiditsch, 2004    Apr-23-18 Zsuzsa Polgar vs Chiburdanidze, 2004    Apr-23-18 Portisch vs Z Izoria, 2005    Apr-23-18 Topalov vs Adams, 2005    Apr-23-18 Krasenkow vs T Markowski, 2004    Apr-23-18 L E Johannessen vs Schmaltz, 2003    Apr-23-18 Anand vs Adams, 2005    Apr-23-18 R Ruck vs R Markus, 2004    Jan-07-18 Grischuk vs Timman, 2002    Jan-07-18 O Loskutov vs D Chuprikov, 2000    Jan-07-18 Radjabov vs Adams, 2002    Jan-07-18 Lautier vs L Karlsson, 1999    Jan-07-18 E Schiller vs Y R Yakovich, 1998     Jan-07-18 Aronian vs Beshukov, 2000    Jan-07-18 E Moradiabadi vs Adianto, 2001    Jan-07-18 Anastasian vs D Stojanovski, 2001     Jan-07-18 Landa vs S Y Shipov, 1998    Jan-07-18 J Schmied vs M Ammer, 1996    Jan-07-18 Adams vs Timman, 1999     Jan-07-18 A Kovacevic vs M Pavlovic, 2001    Jan-07-18 A Zontakh vs S Martinovic, 2000    Jan-07-18 Barsov vs D Sharma, 2001    Jan-07-18 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2000    Jan-07-18 A E Vaulin vs Smagin, 1997    Jan-07-18 S Buckley vs G Lane, 2002    Jan-07-18 Sutovsky vs G Dizdar, 1997    Jan-07-18 F Vallejo Pons vs B Avrukh, 2000    Jan-07-18 I Papaioannou vs D Mastrovasilis, 1998    Jan-06-18 Shirov vs Topalov, 2002    Jan-06-18 de Firmian vs P Carlsson, 2002    Jan-06-18 Kramnik vs Karpov, 1999    Jan-06-18 A Holmsten vs G Mohr, 2001     Jan-06-18 C Ionescu vs Aronian, 1999    Jan-06-18 Bareev vs Onischuk, 2002    Jan-06-18 Ponomariov vs V Milov, 2001     Jan-06-18 G Soppe vs F Braga, 1998    Jan-06-18 R Ruck vs Krasenkow, 2001    Dec-30-17 Kasparov vs Lutikov, 1978     Dec-29-17 Yermolinsky vs Seirawan, 1997    Dec-29-17 Bareev vs Fedorov, 2000    Dec-29-17 F Berkes vs S Cao, 2001    Dec-28-17 J C Alvarez Marquez vs T Nyback, 2002    Dec-28-17 Van Wely vs Judit Polgar, 1997     Dec-28-17 Oll vs Svidler, 1997    Dec-28-17 J L Chabanon vs C Bauer, 1997    Dec-28-17 B Socko vs Nakamura, 2002    Dec-19-17 Najdorf vs Mecking, 1978    Nov-27-17 Hector vs Barbero, 1991     Nov-26-17 Yanofsky vs J Tornerup, 1947     Nov-17-17 P Van der Sterren vs Ljubojevic, 1987    Nov-13-17 Portisch vs M Damjanovic, 1968     Nov-12-17 McDonnell vs La Bourdonnais, 1834     Aug-10-17 Mamedyarov vs Lu Shanglei, 2016     Jul-11-17 Nunn vs Seirawan, 1982     Jun-03-17 Efimov vs Bronstein, 1941     Mar-03-16 B Perfors vs F van Seters, 1955    Jan-03-16 E J Diemer vs Illig, 1954    Dec-27-15 P Nikolic vs Huebner, 1994    Dec-27-15 Lasker vs NN, 1898     Dec-19-15 A Ettlinger vs Janowski, 1898    Dec-19-15 Ed.
