| Hudson Hawk: <Nostalgia> Thanks for the lowdown, he's on his way to my ignore list. |

Mar-29-06 Boleslavsky vs Teschner, 1960
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <Ashram64: it would be such a different ballgame if black recapture the first white rook with Bxe8... serious blunder> Agreed. In general it's always best to avoid lining your queen up on the same file as an enemy rook, especially an open one. And on the other side of the ... |

| |
| Hudson Hawk: I'm such a slacker I took the Knight for Rook exchange win and was happy with that. |

Mar-23-06 Kasimdzhanov vs Judit Polgar, 2005
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <Counterpoint> Good analysis. That's pretty much what I saw. I solved this one (after missing the last two) and the line I calculated for my solution was actually the Qg6 variation since the queen recapture seemed almost like a blunder as it immediately loses queen for ... |

Mar-02-06 S Khodzhibekov vs Korchnoi, 1956
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <Richerby> In the Kc1 line I saw QxR, and after PxQ then Ra1 skewers the King and Queen. Even if white declines the Q sac black wins a rook either way. |

Feb-10-06 Larry Evans vs Uhlmann, 1971
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <PizzatheHut> My vote if black plays 36. ...Qf2 would simply be to take the h-pawn with the bishop. I don't see too may viable responses for black in that situation. The best endgames black could hope for leave white with 3 additional pawns (two of them passed) favor ... |

Feb-06-06 A Niedermayer vs P Haba, 1996
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <prinsillan/cogano> I incorrectly went with the Bishop capture too. But it does put White up a second pawn and gives him a solid advantage going into the endgame (but not as much as a full knight and pawn). |

Jan-30-06 B Avrukh vs D Rodriguez Perez, 2005
| |
| Hudson Hawk: I can't find info on it, but I'd be inclined to say that Black was out of time, especially since White hung his rook on that last move. |

Jan-30-06 Gorkytown vs Spassky, 1968
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <I'm guessing that White's Queen would shuffle between g6 and h6 to force the draw?> Yeah, White has to use the perpetual or it's mate the other way. And sending the king the other direction on move 31 loses for Black. |

Jan-30-06 Lagno vs S Shepeleva, 2001
| |
| Hudson Hawk: <dkulesh: 36 rxe6 rxe6 37bf5, can black avoid mate?> After 37 ...Rxf6 I don't see a mating threat, I see white down a almost a full rook. |
