| Refused: 41...Rxh3 threatening 42...Qh1# looks crushing. |

Nov-29-23 R Edouard vs Kazhgaleyev, 2009
| |
| Refused: I went for 29.Rg6 which is crushing but apparently less winning than the game continuation with 29.Rxg7 which apparently forces mate. Anyway, fwiw my train of thought was, that I wanted to play Qxh6 and Rg8# in some shape or form.
And kicking off the black queen from the sixth is ... |

Nov-25-23 Short vs Ganguly, 2002
| |
| Refused: 32.Qxh5 is the obvious first choice white has to check. Main line is:
a) 32...gxh5. 33.Bxf4 Rb7 34.Bh6 (probably simpler than 34.Bxb7 Qxb7 35.Rxg7 Qxe4+) +- The main issue is that the Bishop can't move away from g7 as white is threatening mate on g8 b) 32...Re4 and once again ... |

| Refused: Nobody commenting on Jakob's page.
Some biographical minor note.
He is the son of
Wolfgang Pajeken He is (fortunately) a bit more even-tempered than Wolfgang (no offense Wolfgang, but the Pajeken bust ups are kinda legendary). |

Nov-16-23 K Shirazi vs R Lemon, 1983
| |
| Refused: I went for 13.Bxd3 basically because there's nothing else to move the proverbial ball forward. I very much believe white is betterish after 13.Bxd3 (something between ⩲ and ±), however that is a very odd puzzle position.
Game continuation feels more like a suicide note |

Nov-08-23 FIDE Grand Swiss (Women) (2023)
| |
| Refused: Not really a viable defense, as Budweise is not beer. Anyway, I assume HeMixesStuffUp confused Cramling with Kosteniuk, who is now representing Switzerland. I am not sure however, if she resides in Switzerland, I thought she was living in France. |

Nov-07-23 M Pap vs J Lampert, 2012
| |
| Refused: Poor Jonas, that game was just an utter disaster for him. 30.Bf8+ is 1-0. |

Nov-03-23 Caruana vs B Deac, 2023
| |
| Refused: Well I kinda prefer white. Black's king side pawns feel a bit loose, white is fully developed, and I can see a clear plan going forward with queen side expansion. I mean, I can even dream of playing Nf5, if black is careless.The only white piece I kinda dislike is the Bishop on g3. ... |

Oct-29-23 Mecking vs R Vasquez Schroeder, 1993
| |
| Refused: I didn't get that.
There are two potential weak points in white's position. I figured the solution would include either saccing something on f4-g5 to to get the queen into the k-side; or some distraction tactic to allow Nxf4 somewhere down the line. I couldn't get either idea ... |
