Oct-09-13 Z Doda vs Sliwa, 1963
| |
| White Star: found 19) Bc4+ and 20) O-O-O
what about 28) Qxe6 ...cannot find a good move for black, though 28) ...Rxc4 29) Qxc4..Rc8 leaves White only with exchange up, therefore 28) ...Rxc4 29) Kb1!..Rc7 (best of available moves)30) Qg8+ and Black is on the slippery slope |

Sep-28-12 S Morris vs F Marchand, 1992
| |
| White Star: Black is about to be mated, so he has to move fast! 30) ..R(f) x f3 does the trick, followed by 31) ..Rxf3, which ends the game; better than 31) ..qxf3 which allows some slippery moves and an uncertain outcome |
