Jan-19-16 W Ju vs Dreev, 2016 
|
Tartalacreme: One of these games where it is not easy to tell where white went wrong. I don't like 16.g5 (I prefer Nf5 or even Nxg6), but g5 cannot be the losing move. |

Jan-19-16 Dreev vs A Haast, 2016 
|
Tartalacreme: During the game, I thought that Dreev's idea was 15.Ng5 Nxc4 16.Nd5 with mate threat on h7. According to the computer, this or 15. Nd5 were crushing. However, it was still complicated as black could sac the queen for 3 minors. |

Tartalacreme: What can black play if not 25. ... Nd3?
25. ... Kf6?? 26.Nxf5 Kxf5 27.Be4+ wins
25. ... Nxd5?? 26.Nxf5+ Kf6 27.Ng3 and black loses the pinned knight 25. ... Bg6 26.Rxe5+ wins a pawn
