Jun-19-11 Psakhis vs N Birnboim, 1995 
| |
| D4n: I went with 30. Qd3 with the idea of protecting the Bishop on b5 and setting up a backrow mate. Giving check the following turn Qd8+ Rxd8 followed by Rxd8+ black has to play Qf8 and white plays Rc8. |

Jun-08-11 O W Field vs O Tenner, 1922
| |
| D4n: I think I would have played it like this:
17. ...Ne2+
18. Kh1 Bxg2+
19. Kxg2 Nf4+
20. Kg1 Nh3+
21. Kh1 Qf3#
But hey Qh3 is better a bit easier and quicker. |

Apr-25-11 O Adu vs A Kim, 2008
| |
| D4n: Seems simple enough, black needs to move the knight and keep the queen or rooks of the send rank for a mate, why not attack the queen with Nf2..Kxf2 and Qg3++. Lets see if I got this one right... |

Apr-23-11 Speelman vs Azmaiparashvili, 1994
| |
| D4n: If the Bishop wasn't on g3, white would get a free knight on h5. So white has some options;
*So I would condsider 25. Bxf4 Nxf4 and having to move the white queen to e3 attacking the knight on f4 ending up with a better trade. *Maybe, 25. Qxh5 g6xh5 23 Bxf4+ Black loses more on that ... |

Apr-22-11 Panno vs Spassky, 1955
| |
| D4n: My first thought was Rxg+, however it is a poor move. Opens the Queen to attack and other not such fun stuff. Deciding the Bishop on g6 is the problem, it becomes simple to look for a way to remove the threat.Nxe5, fxe5 to save the bishop. I would have considered taking the pawn on e5 ... |

| D4n: This really has nothing to do with this game, but the movie that shares the title is really great. |

| D4n: I'm surprise the lack of kibitzing becoming three pages... |

Mar-25-10 Fischer vs Reshevsky, 1958
| |
| D4n: Thats a nice trap by white. There wasn't much black could do, aside from taking the knight with the king, but that leads to mate 6 turns later. |
