Dec-07-16 Kasparov vs Timman, 2000    Herma48852: Could not find the right move order for this beautiful end game combo. Great puzzle!      Dec-05-16 Fridman vs H Odeev, 1996    Herma48852: <morfishine: Easy-Peezy: White, a pawn-up, has a forced win in 178 moves> I believe I have found an improvement with a forced win in 177 moves but there is not enough room in the margin to present the detailed variations.      Dec-02-16 D Reizniece-Ozola vs Y Hou, 2016    Herma48852: <al wazir A more elegant ending would have been 49. Qxg7+ Nxg7 50. Ng5+ Kg6/Kg8 51. Rxg7+ Kxg7 52. Nxe6+ Kf6 53. Nxc5> Yes that is quite beautiful .. thanks!      Oct-31-16 Nazar Terzyan vs R Praggnanandhaa, 2016    Herma48852: Beautiful finish!      Sep-20-16 G Lambert vs Nunn, 1977    Herma48852: 44...

Rxc7      Sep-05-16 L Christiansen vs Nunn, 1991    Herma48852: Once I saw that e7 was covered by the R/e1 after checking with Ng6, a little deflection was necessary to make it work: 36. Rxf6+! Bxf6 (or Qf7) 37. Ng6#      Aug-03-16 G Ferrantes vs A Giustolisi, 1956    Herma48852: A very nasty double check setup with a N+Q sac does the job: 42.. Nxf2+ 43.Rxf2 Qg2+! 44. R2xg2 hxg2+ 45. Kg2 Rh1#      Jul-20-16 Timoshenko vs R Verdes Nadal, 2006    Herma48852: The space advantage by White is so overwhelming there had to be a material winning combination in there .. and this time I found it: 11.
