| Smartypants: 18...g6 was bad, but I think 10...h6 was just as poor. Why weaken your pawns when ...Nf8 both defends h7 and frees the queen bishop? |

Dec-26-01 Koltanowski vs NN, 1935
| |
| Smartypants: As far as I can tell, had he took the bishop 17 ...Kxh7 there is no forced mate after 18. Qh5+ Kg8 19. Qxf7+ Kh7. However White can then snatch the Knight with 20. cxd5 so Black is lost in any case. |

Dec-25-01 Letelier vs Fischer, 1960
| |
| Smartypants: 13. Qb1 is a very strange move, but I can't say it was the losing move--seems that Black was already in control of the board. |
