May-16-25 Reshevsky vs W Suesman, 1938
| |
| N.O.F. NAJDORF: Black is already a pawn down, and with a very bad pawn structure, and must now give up a
piece because of
26...Rxe1 27. Rxe1 Rf7 28. Bc4
An alternative continuation is
26...Rxf1+ 27. Kxf1 Re6 28. Rad1 Kg8 29. Rxe6 dxe6 30. Rd8+ Kf7 31. b4 g5 32. b5 g4 33. a5 g6 34. c6 ... |

May-03-25 Korchnoi vs Petrosian, 1974 
| |
| N.O.F. NAJDORF: I tried that and it did not work.
Black can play a4 to prevent the white king from penetrating on the queen side and play waiting moves with his king, if necessary coming to g6, or play h6 to prevent the white king from penetrating on the king side. |

May-02-25 Korchnoi vs Petrosian, 1974
| |
| N.O.F. NAJDORF: It seems that Petrosian also missed
36. Nxh6 Qxg5 37. Nxf7+ Kg7 38. Nxg5
winning two pawns.
For example,
38... Rf2 39. Nh4 Bc8 40. Rf3 Rxa2 41. Rf7+ Kg8 42. Ng6 winning the exchange. |
