Dec-09-19 S Cucancic vs D Lazic, 2010
| |
| YoungEd: White makes it look easy--win a pawn, trade down, and push a pawn for promotion. |

Dec-09-19 Santasiere vs N Bakos, 1949 
| |
| YoungEd: Black was clearly worse, but 14...Qxh1+ is just falling on the sword. |

Nov-30-19 Stephen Capp vs A Dunne, 1991
Nov-19-19 Rubinstein vs Prins, 1931
| |
| YoungEd: I guess 4. g4 intends to trap the knight, preparing 5. e3. But it just looks too weakening. I might try 4. e4 Nf5 5. e4, which looks better to me for White. |

Nov-10-19 M Voigt vs Zhen Yu Cyrus Low, 2011
| |
| YoungEd: 15. Nf5 wasn't that hard to see (even I saw it right away), but it's still pretty and Black is already busted after it. |

Nov-10-19 Bologan vs S N Arkhipov, 1995
| |
| YoungEd: I'm not good enough to see the white win at the end. But I do think Black should have tried 6...Nf4. |

Oct-24-19 T Balogh vs M Manik, 1999
| |
| YoungEd: Both players must have been in time trouble; hence the draw agreement. |

Oct-17-19 R Shaw vs R Jain, 2012
| |
| YoungEd: Black looks a little better to me after move 19, But 20...Qc4 just leads to woodchopping and a draw. I don't know what a winning try might be, though. |
