Mar-10-08 Botvinnik vs G Stoltz, 1926

| Richerby: (Botvinnik says that Stoltz played on for a few moves after the final position here, though he doesn't give the moves.) |

Jun-04-07 M Skalicka vs F Havlicek, 1913
| |
| Richerby: <alwazir: In fact, it's hard to find a move for white that doesn't win.>
27.♕h7/h8+ should lose pretty quickly. ;-) |

May-31-07 L Eperjesi vs B Perenyi, 1980
| |
| Richerby: <spin: anyone want to throw 29...fxe6 30.Qxg6 in a computer?> Fritz 8 does very badly on this position. To 15 ply, it's scoring it as -1.00 (i.e., *black* ahead by a pawn). Oh, wait. I forgot to give white his ♘f3! Let's try that again... 29... fxe6 30.♕xg6+ ... |

May-30-07 S Polgar vs Speelman, 1993
| |
| Richerby: <mack: Speelman's finest hour.> Surely that would be reaching the semi-final of the 1988-90 World Championship Candidates cycle? |

May-23-07 Moll vs Falkbeer, 1864
| |
| Richerby: <YourRang: People who call the Monday "easy" -- are haters? Methinks you've gone a bit overboard. :-|>
Sure but it's really tedious reading the litany of ``Oh, this is so easy'' comments every Monday. The whole point of Monday puzzles is that they're easy. Saying that a ... |

May-15-07 Bareev vs G Timoscenko, 1986
| |
| Richerby: <slowrobot: the computer resigned. I didn't even know they did that.> Computers are typically set to resign once they're down more than, say, four pawns' worth of material. Of course, this is adjustabe in any decent program. |
