| Shubes82: I know Be6+ is a check, but it kind of felt like an intermezzo to me when I was solving. Cool puzzle though, �I know this f-pawn HAS to queen�right?!� |

| Shubes82: hi all. anyone have any good recommendations for a set of master/grandmaster games to study? preferably it would be in a format with lots of annotations/analysis. Is there any gold standard out there that maybe seems to be a right of passage of sorts for a dveloping player? |

| Shubes82: <Patriot: <Athamas>> If you are talking about why a rook endgame wasn't entered into with moves like: 28. Rxg7+ Kxe6
29. Rxg6
Where white is up two connected passed pawns in a rook endgame, i'm puzzled by that as well. Can anyone provide a high level theorectical ... |

| |
| Shubes82: I think its great how these old games went all the way to checkmate, although I think part of that must have been because half of these "NN's" didnt realize what was coming. I can just picture this guy after the 24th move, looking for a couple ways to capture the knight or move his |

| Shubes82: yeah 21)Rxe8 is the key here because Nh6 has to be played with an attack on the f6 square in mind. |
