| Gahvandure: My first instinct was:
50. Rh8+ Bxh8
51. Qh2
I don't have a program here at work to check up on this, but I fail to see how black can defend from here. E.g.: 51. ... Bg7 52. Qh7#

| |
| Gahvandure: Shirov has not beaten Anand in the chessgames.com database since 2001, and (in the same database) has an overall score against Anand of +6, =48, -29. It doesn't look good for him, statistically speaking. |

Aug-03-08 V Eingorn vs Y Zilberman, 1994
| |
| Gahvandure: I'm an admitted amateur, and have no business considering Sunday puzzles. Nonetheless, I was thinking the answer would be somewhere along the lines of 35. Rc4 ... 36. Rxc5 allowing the Bishop to check at e6, forcing the black king to commit to the f or h-file, which would allow ... |

Feb-23-06 Aronian vs Svidler, 2006
| |
| Gahvandure: Heh, no worries eric. I only know Be4 is a mistake because I suggested it earlier to pin the undefended c4 knight (so I thought) to the rook on a1. Someone pointed out the combination at that point. |
