Jun-14-23 G Abrahams vs W Winter, 1929    benveniste: Had this puzzle been 25. White to move, the solution would have been pretty much the same.      Jun-13-23 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Alekhine, 1912    benveniste: Gee, if only my pesky rook wasn't in the way . . .      May-08-23 Baklan vs J Aagaard, 1998    benveniste: I saw ♘d6, but since it's a Monday puzzle, I spent 3 minutes trying to convince myself that the sac was the better move. Since it forced a faster resignation, I guess it was.      Apr-26-23 Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023    benveniste: Was f5 a serious oops?      Apr-20-23 Ding Liren vs Nepomniachtchi, 2023    benveniste: Stockfish shows this as a draw after 41. ... ♕b8, ♖d8, or ♖b7, or g5.      Apr-03-23 E Joppen vs B Rabar, 1954    benveniste: The puzzle was easy, but does anyone want to talk about the unsound Queen sac on move 18?      Mar-22-23 So vs Shankland, 2023   benveniste: I don't see the "too tightly" as an issue here. The losing move was the boring looking 30. ... ♔f8.      Mar-13-23 A Afonasieva vs L Dryaeva, 2022    benveniste: I spent minutes looking for something better than ♗xg5 before giving up. I'll never have that time back.      Dec-05-22 A Kubbel vs Ragozin, 1929    benveniste: Since it's Monday, I tried the Queen Sac first. Perhaps that was the point of the puzzle?      Oct-06-22 T Espig vs G Braun, 1977    benveniste: I started with the following sequence, but got lazy and didn't work out all of Black's possible responses. ♘g5 g7 ♘e4
