   Jul-24-25 V Bernadskiy vs Y K Erdogmus, 2025 (replies)
 
alshatranji: Thank you TheaN and vajeer. This makes sense. I used to take it for granted that Stockfish would give the best move any any given time, but now I know better. I guess it goes to show how complex our game is, and perhaps (considering that an advanced chess program could not find ...
 
   Jul-15-25 P Schmidt vs L Endzelins, 1936
 
alshatranji: Did anyone else consider 25. Qf3, instead of 25.Bb5? According to Stockfish, this wins too, but a small margin, +0.85, after 25. Qf3 Re1+ 26. Bf1 Re4! 27. Qxf6 Rg4. I missed this line.
 
   Jul-12-25 T Gelashvili vs S Skembris, 2001 (replies)
 
alshatranji: According to Stockfish, Black missed the win with 31...Nb4+, instead of 31...d6+ (32. Nxd3 Nb4+ 33. Nxb4 Qxb4).
 
   Jun-27-25 T Gareyev vs E Berg, 2007
 
alshatranji: The g4 school of thought. Less risky and only slightly weaker.
 
   Jun-08-25 K Rusev vs D Mastrovasilis, 1997
 
alshatranji: I had 20...dxc3, instead of 20...Bxe5, and Stockfish finds it a little better.
 
   Jun-06-25 Hromadka vs K Treybal, 1912 (replies)
 
alshatranji: A complicated position with quite a few options. e6 is interesting. I saw the main line (25.Rxf7Bxg3 26.Rxg7+Kh8 27.Rxg3), and I went with it as (probably) the best option. But to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure why, except that it seems to be the only way to move forward. ...

alshatranji: "mel gibson: MissScarlett: On my front page, it says <33. ?> not <28. ?>. Yes - the puzzle has now been changed." Same thing, and even now I still think the real puzzle should have started a move later.
 
   May-24-25 Saemisch vs G Abrahams, 1939 (replies)
 
alshatranji: I had 28. Bxf5 exf5 29. e6+, followed by 30. Qxd5 with multiple threats. It turns out to be Stockfish's preferred line IF Black takes the bishop; the best response is 28. ... Bg6.
 
   May-10-25 I Malakhov vs B Nikitinyh, 2017 (replies)
 
alshatranji: I had 54. Ra6, and it seemed that after Rxa6 55. c8=Q, White should win. Not according to Stockfish, which has a draw after 55...Rxd6+ 56. Kh7 Bf6 57. Qb7+ Kc4 58. Qc7+ Kd5 59. Qb7+. Well.
 
   Apr-13-25 Romanishin vs Dorfman, 1976
 
alshatranji: I was sure it was 17...Nxe3 18.Rxd8 Raxd8. It seemed the only continuation possible. Yet, I couldn't see anything decisive (i.e. tactical) after that. Black is not significantly behind in material, and his pieces are better developed and coordinated. Is that all? As King.Arthur ...
