Jan-24-09 Adams vs J Demarre, 1989   battleaxe: I think he just miscalculated. That plan would have worked if there was no rook on f1. If the king would have captured the knight, there follows Qh4+ winning the piece back and gaining the f pawn. But as we see white took back with the rook and was able to defend his piece from ...      Jan-13-09 Tal vs Furman, 1958    battleaxe: I think he just gave it up, considiring he is all out of checks and the three pawns are on their way home.      Jan-13-09 A Bannik vs Tal, 1954    battleaxe: Actually 19. Bf8 will not trap the queen but force it off the diagonal and back to its only safe square. This will make way for the queen c5 check that is winning. Even if the white queen takes the knight on b4 and then takes the bishop on f8 to then take the bishop on a6 with the      Jan-13-09 Gufeld vs Tal, 1954    battleaxe: 19. Rxe4 ?? what is wrong with Bxe4 it seems to me that it just wins the piece straight away. But what can I say.. Tal knows best :)      Jan-12-09 Tal vs T Giorgadze, 1956    battleaxe: If 26. Rx7 then white has 27. Rxe8 Rf8 28. Rfxf8 Nxf8 29. Rxf8# If black decides to not capture the knight then he must move his queen. Unfortunately his queen has no square so it must instead capture white's queen. Then white will recapture with his knight with check to be two ...      Dec-30-08 N Lisicic vs D Arsic, 2008    battleaxe: How about 35. Nd5+ isnt that a good move here ? Pleace check.      Dec-28-08 Spielmann vs Alekhine, 1912    battleaxe: White cant stop the pawn from advancing. The beauty of this game is that white probably thought the whole time he was winning.. Alekhine was giving him what he wanted only to come out one step ahead.      Dec-28-08 Alekhine vs Levenfish, 1912    battleaxe: So if 19. Nxd7 was the plan 20. Be6 ?      Dec-27-08 Schlechter vs S A Wolf, 1894    battleaxe: also 13. Qh5 and black has no defence. Checkmate next move.      Dec-26-08 C Bloodgood vs H Erwin, 1972    battleaxe: you guys and your chess humour.. pricelss.
