Jun-21-16 G Mittermayr vs C Kleijn, 2009 
|
CliftonJ: What about 25. ... Qc3? If 26. bxc3, then ... Bxc3 and mate is unstoppable. The game continuation is faster, but Qc3 seems much more sadistic! |

CliftonJ: I thought of
16. Bh7+ Kh8
17. Bg8
Only 17. ... g6 prevents immediate mate, but after 18. Qxg6, it's over. |

Dec-28-12 V Malisauskas vs U Lauk, 1993 
|
CliftonJ: I had the same 47th and 48th moves, but deviated with 49.Qh5+. After 49...Kg7 50.Qxf7+ Kh6 51.Qf8+, it's the same position as in the actual game, but there's a pawn on f6. For example, if 51...Kg6, then 52.Bf7+ and the King can't move to f6. This makes it a little easier to end the |
