Mar-02-22 E Agrest vs Bacrot, 2001 
| |
| DrWeevil: Also had the exchange of queens, leading to skewering king & rook. White looks good, but nowhere near as good as if you pick the right move! |

Feb-24-22 A Puranik vs S Sjugirov, 2020
| |
| DrWeevil: I was looking first at Bh3, attacking the pinned bishop & blocking the h pawn from creating an escape square.. Until I noticed, of course, that the rook is en prise! So what happens if we change the move order? And then found the forced mate mentioned by others. |

Aug-09-21 M Roiz vs T Warakomski, 2005
| |
| DrWeevil: I had the game line, but as others have noted, 37 Qe7+ is better. |

Jun-28-21 Kosteniuk vs C Foisor, 2012
| |
| DrWeevil: A few moments of confusion looking around for the queen...then it became obvious. A pleasing combination. |

Oct-01-20 A Hakobyan vs D Gavrilescu, 2018
| |
| DrWeevil: I also had Nf5 today. Once you find a good move, look for a better one! |

Jul-08-20 L McLaren vs A Ismail, 2017
| |
| DrWeevil: I also had 18 Bxf6. Had a sneaking suspicion there must be more to it given the day of the week, but never saw the beautiful 18 Rg8+! |

Jun-21-12 P Moran Santamaria vs E Franco Raymundo, 1955
| |
| DrWeevil: So close! Saw everything except for 27. Rg4+... very nice! |

May-22-12 F Kraus vs V Costin, 1913
| |
| DrWeevil: I agree that white's 7th move would make a more interesting puzzle... I would probably have failed to solve it though! |

May-03-12 Lautier vs Gelfand, 1999
| |
| DrWeevil: I had Bxd5 after 22.Re1: I don't think it's quite as good as the game line, but white is still hopelessly lost, unless I've missed something! |

Oct-07-08 Capablanca vs G Vassaux, 1939
| |
| DrWeevil: Wow.. 2 out of 2 so far... I've usually slipped up already by now! Could be a good week.... |
