Jan-13-12 Timman vs C van Wijgerden, 1977 
| |
| Pawn Derous: Well, I went with Nh4 and congratulated myself too early. But it was wonderful to see how Timman dispatched van Wijgerden's forces before they could all get their pants on. |

| Pawn Derous: Qf7+ is further extrapolation necessary? |

Nov-05-11 H Xu vs R Gao, 2011
| |
| Pawn Derous: One move of black brings great instability to white: 36. …Nxf3
putting two pins in motion at g2 and h3 as well as the threat of mate Qh2#. Missed the logic of Bxd4, though. |

Nov-04-11 Szabo vs Kotov, 1946
| |
| Pawn Derous: A straightforward situation, n'est pas?
__16. N-d5 (threat: 17. Nxe7+ 18. Qh7#)
If 16. … Pxe5 then 17. Bxf6
If 16. … Nxe5 then 17. Qh7#
If 16. … Pg6 then 17. Nxe7+ |

Nov-01-11 N Zambor vs K Biro, 2001
| |
| Pawn Derous: Possibly
14.Qxd5 Pxd5
15.Pxd6+ […]
16.Pxc7
the exchange of blows gaining material for white. Well, Pawn-Derous got this one. What will tomorrow bring? |

Oct-31-11 A Dadian vs Brjecky, 1902
| |
| Pawn Derous: A situation ripe for the picking. Although materially similar, white dominates the middle and has enough momentum to put black through the wine press. 30. Rg6 ?
if 30. … Qxf5 then 31. Qg6#
if 30. … Qxe3+ then 31. Bxe3 etc
Pawn-Derous thought this solution OK ... |

Oct-27-11 J Sajtar vs M Dietze, 1943
| |
| Pawn Derous: Well, my first idea was to heap more threats onto black's gate at f7 with 41.Bg6 ? if …Pxg6
then 42.Rxf8#
but …Pf6 thwarts our plan!
41.Qg6 !! if …Pxf6
then 42.Qh7#

Oct-25-11 L Lenic vs Le Quang Liem, 2011
| |
| Pawn Derous: 42. …Nh1! doubles the threat on Castle-Outpost at f2 enabling Queenie's breakthrough - Qxf2 - to the first rank and subsequent mate. Verily a twisty solution. |

Oct-24-11 S Arabi Kasrineh vs O Noroozi, 2011
| |
| Pawn Derous: 38.…Qxc1+ 39. Bxc1 Re1+ 40. Qf1 R(either)xf1# 'twas a rather odd melee, the halberds, baleful and swift, fell without hesitation after the queen's flanking sacrifice. |
