| OscarR: <Penguincw>
Oops! Forgot about the possible knight promotion in 5 ... Kf1 6 Kf3 e1N+ [DIAGRAM] Probably a tablebase win for White, but quite beyond my powers! |

Jun-19-14 Hort vs R Byrne, 1962
| |
| OscarR: Black could still try holding on with 18...Qb6 and hoping that White would be careless. [DIAGRAM] If 19 Nd5, then 19...Qf2+
[DIAGRAM] If 19 g5, then 19...Qf2+
[DIAGRAM] If 19 Kd3, then still 19...Qf2
[DIAGRAM] If 19 Rh2 (to prevent 19...Qf2+), then 19...bc4 (threatening 20...Qb2+, |

Jul-03-11 A Yusupov vs G Sigurjonsson, 1985
| |
| OscarR: I think White might have a chance to win with 54 Bc7 as it 1) paves the way for White to attack Black's "a" pawn with White's king; and 2) it allows White's bishop to indirectly defend White's "g" pawn

Mar-24-11 C Holt vs A Stripunsky, 2010
| |
| OscarR: I think 43 Rg2+ would have made the game more interesting [DIAGRAM] or 43 b4 (which makes Bb2 possible) would have made different complications [DIAGRAM] |

Dec-31-10 Eliskases vs C Bielicki, 1962
| |
| OscarR: David, I think I'll go first with 37 Kf2
[DIAGRAM] Then somewhere down the line, I'll try Qb4 followed by the advance of the a and c pawns, and possibly even exchange the queen for the rook. |
