Aug-29-22 D Malla vs W Kobese, 2006    Tomate: @Mayankk06 On 30..Qe5 31.Re2 would be a mistake because of 31...Qxe2.      Sep-11-21 Shamkovich vs Kholmov, 1961    Tomate: The interesting point is the move order, when to play dxe5. Indeed here the best is the most forcing line. 19.Rxg7 (19.dxe5 Bc5 looks unclear) 19...Kxg7 20.Rg1+ (20.dxe5 Qxc4 is unclear) 20...Kf6 (21.Kh7 Ng5+ 22.Kh8 Nxf7+ or 22.hxg5 Qxg5 are winning) 21.dxe5+ Bxe5 (21...Ke7 ...      Sep-07-21 R Fontaine vs M Sebag, 2003    Tomate: @Teyss Right! In line B, 37.Qxh7 is simplest and best.      Sep-07-21 Gunsberg vs E Schallopp, 1886   Tomate: @Nerwal Stockfish don't see a big difference between 13.0-0 and 13.Nbd2, but 13.0-0 looks the more natural move (White does not offer to Black to enter in the complicated lines starting with 13...Qxb2). By contrast, 13.Bc2? is the breaking point, since protecting the Q with 13.Bd1! ...      Mar-21-21 A Graf vs R Felgaer, 2004    Tomate: It is enough to count. After 23.Rxe5 white wins 3 pieces for a queen or two pieces for the rook. Indeed after 23.Rxe5 Rxg3 (23..Qxe5 24.Ng6+ loses the queen) 24.Rxd5 Black has a choice of A) 24..Qxd5 25.Nxd5 and white has two pieces for the rook B) 24..Q move 25.hxg3 and white has ...      Mar-11-21 A Volokitin vs Karjakin, 2008    Tomate: Very nice position. In which order should White plays? a) 30.Bf3? Rxb2 31.e5+ Kxe5 is very good for black b) 30.Bxb3? cxb3 31.e5+ Kd7 looks more or less equal. c) After 30.e5+! if 30..Kxe5 31.Bxb3 cxb3 32.Nd3+ forks the Rf2; if the black pins his king on the c file 31.Bxb3 wins a ...      Oct-19-20 C Zeng vs H Nguyen, 2013    Tomate: There are two candidate moves 1.Bxh7+ and 1.Qxd7. At first glance it seems that 1.Bxh7+ wins a Queen for two minor pieces, although 1.Qxd7 wins a piece. So it requires a closer look, because 2 minor pieces can offer a sttuborn defense against a Q. Indeed after 1.Bxh7+ Nxh7 2.Qxd7 ...      Sep-25-20 L Engels vs E Badestein, 1937    Tomate: Game commented in C. Seneca's "Les echecs"      Sep-19-20 T Baron vs M Rodshtein, 2016   Tomate: The game is commented in "Fighting the London" by Ki. Georgiev.      Sep-08-20 Uhlmann vs Bronstein, 1966    Tomate: @FSR 39.Rf5 Bd8 is not so clear. Black looks ugly, but still white has to find some moves (intuitively, I would say that Black pawns c5 or a7 will fall)
