King Street: Black found a beautiful combination on move 31 that is worthy of being a puzzle of the day. |

Feb-23-23 U Capo Vidal vs Isaiah McIntosh, 2022
|
King Street: White has a difficult win after 11...Nxg3 with 12.Bxh7+ Kh8 13.Nxf7+ Rxf7 14.hg (threatening 15. Bg6+) 14...Bg5. The following is not Stockfish's main line but I like 15.Qh5 Bh6 16.Qxf7 Kxh7 17.Rxh6+ Kxh6 18.0-0-0. |

King Street: On move 46, Krush played Kg1, an illegal move. The arbiter then adjusted the clock, which left her with 2 seconds and no increment. |

|
King Street: In looking at the position after 11.Kf1, I thought Black should try to get a N or B on d5 asap, but N moves allow 12.Bb5+ and 11...b6 allows 12.Be4. So I would consider moves such as 11...a6, 11...Qc7 or 11...Bd6 to prepare this plan. |

Dec-22-20 Levenfish vs V Lyublinsky, 1949
|
King Street: Black is probably lost by the 27th move. He might be OK if he could keep the position blocked with Ne5 but unfortunately the f-pawn is pinned, so he would get clobbered with
27...Ne5
28. Nxe5+ dxe5
29. Qxf6+ Kg8
30. Nf5 Bxf5
31. exf5 Qf7
32. Qxf7+ Kxf7
33. d6+ |
