Jan-28-12 G Guseinov vs G Sargissian, 2011

| SugarRaySam: Here's the solution:
33.Qxe6+
33...Rxe6 (black has no choice to take the queen because 33...Kh7 loses a rook) 34.Rc8+
34...Kh7 (only option for black as he cannot block the check on the 8th rank) 35.Rf4-f8 (threatening 36.Rh8#)
35...Qd1+
36.Kg2
36...Rd1 (blockinq the 8th ... |

Jan-27-12 M Fette vs R Storm, 1991
| |
| SugarRaySam: Here's the solution:
15.Qd3 (threat = 16.Qd7#)
15...Qe7 is the only option for black
(could play Be7 but then 16.Qd7+ Kf8 leads to a world of trouble) 16.Ba4
(adds a second threat 17.Qd8 Qxd8 18.Rxd8#)
17...Qd6 is the only option
(if 17...f6 18.Qg6+ Qf7 19.Rd8+ losing ... |

Nov-15-09 Gligoric vs Fischer, 1959
| |
| SugarRaySam: 14...0-0-0 is very surprising.
14...0-0 seems alot better,
The king is unprotected and the c-file can't be attacked very easily 14...Nc5
14...Rc8
To wait and see if White creates any danger for the King to be castled on the K side |

Nov-15-09 Tal vs Fischer, 1959
| |
| SugarRaySam: What about
16...Ng4 (can't be taken by Queen or by Bishop)
17.Qh3 Bg5+
18.Kb1 Ne3
Forking the rooks |

Nov-14-09 Kavalek vs Fischer, 1967
| |
| SugarRaySam: What about
13...Nd5
14.Nxd5 cxd5
15.c4 dxc4
16.Bxc4 d5
Blacks position looks better than in that game
Other options are available but they lead to Black having an advantage |

| |
| SugarRaySam: If
6.Nf5 g6
7.Ng3 Bxg4
8.Qd2--ยป(Intending Bh6)
8...h5!
(If 8.Be2 or f3 8...Be6!) |

Nov-13-09 L Milman vs J Fang, 2005
| |
| SugarRaySam: 28.Bxf6+ Ng5
29.Nh6+ Kh7
30.hxg6+ fxg6
31.Nf5+ Kg8
32.Qxg6#
If
30...Qxg6
31.Nxf7+ Kg8
32.Qxg6#
If
31...Qh6
32.Rxh6#
All of this is forced |

Nov-06-09 Unzicker vs Fischer, 1966
| |
| SugarRaySam: After 63.c4 e4! I believe is a better move for black (64.Bf1 f4 65.Ng4 e5! and black is blocking white to a very small area, eventually switching rooks to the e file) so: 64.fxe4 f4! is the main idea
65.Ng4 f3! and White can't prevent f2 and queening square is controlled by the |

Nov-03-09 Geller vs Fischer, 1962
| |
| SugarRaySam: I thought there was still a lot to be played so I went over some variations
45...Be1 46.Ke4 Rc5 47.Kd4 Bg3
(48.Rfa3 Kxf6 49.Rxa5 Rxa5 50.Rxa5 Kf5 = advantage to Black) 48.Ke4 Be5 49.Raf2 Rc4+
(50.Kd3 Rf4!)
50.Ke3 Bd4+ 51.Kd3 Bxf2 52.Kxc4 Bc5 53.Kb5 Bb4 = DRAW |
