Aug-15-22 A Moran Nuque vs E Pupo, 1995    boringplayer: Glad I wasn't alone in taking longer than usual on a Monday puzzle. Finding the deflection sacrifice with 26.Rh6 would make a nice puzzle, too.      Aug-10-22 Balashov vs S Garcia Martinez, 1975    boringplayer: I missed 20.Bd3, opting for 20.Be7 Qe7; 21.Qg6+, when SF says white is +5.00.      Aug-04-22 Hector vs Plachetka, 1989    boringplayer: I missed it. I saw the sac on h7, followed by establishing a battery on the h-file, but couldn't find a follow-up after ...f6 and gave up on the idea. This is typical of how players of my ability think I'm afraid. We tend to narrow our focus too much.

Winning, but not as pretty as the text.      Jul-27-22 Uhlmann vs T Paehtz Sr, 1984    boringplayer: Or 27...Qc5, which leads to a piece ahead for White.      Jul-20-22 Z Gofshtein vs Kengis, 1978    boringplayer: I always appreciate your insights, TheaN.      Jul-11-22 M Womacka vs G Wolf, 1997    boringplayer: Almost called it a day with 34.Rh4.      Jul-07-22 Dolmatov vs Lautier, 1991    boringplayer: I found 42. Qd2, but thought 43.Bf6 was a sufficient reply to 42...Qe7. Alas, now black can take the g pawn... No points for me :(      Jul-04-22 Alekhine vs E Steiner, 1937    boringplayer: Was there anything wrong with 18.Nc8, followed by 19.Ne5?      Feb-16-21 A Grosar vs Jirovsky, 1991    boringplayer: Puzzles are getting tougher. Sunday should be interesting..
