| |
| boringplayer: I got it wrong. Tried 29. Nf6, but missed the important point that Black isn't obliged to take. Back to the drawing board.. |

Oct-02-19 H Melkumyan vs A Donchenko, 2014
| |
| boringplayer: Seeing that White wins back the pawn and gets a strong passer wasn't too hard, but the ensuing play wasn't Medium/Easy for me. I don't think seeing only through 30. e6 counts here. |

| boringplayer: Thank you < Random visitor >. The defense with ...Rg8 was what I saw first, just like hcgflynn. |

Sep-16-19 C Coppola vs B Macias Murillo, 2009
| |
| boringplayer: Thanks everyone for posting. I just figured my game had hit a new low. I did see that Bg6 lost for White. It seemed then that it was " White to move and hold on for dear life." I went for Rd5, followed by Be4, but, as was mentioned earlier, Black is still better. |

| |
| boringplayer: Saw 25.Ne5 and gave up on that idea. I felt 23.Bf7 might work instead. I'm thinking that one reason I missed Bh6+ is that I was so fixated on the mate possibility on f7. It was important to notice that the white KB hit g8 too. This has been a problem for me OTB, as well. |

| |
| boringplayer: I saw the same line as Phony Benoni. If Black doesn't play into the skewer, he gets mated. |

May-23-19 Neo Zhu vs Shabalov, 2017
| |
| boringplayer: I think 29).. Qh2+ works, too. After 29)Kh2 Rf2, Black has the threat of 30) ..Rgg2. If White defends g2 with 30) Rg1, then 30)..Bf4+; 31) Kh1 Rg6, and the check on h6 is hard to meet. If White tries to block the h-file by moving the Nc3, then 31)..Rh6+; 32) Qh3 Bh3; 33) Rh3 ... |

May-03-19 A Shimanov vs R Rapport, 2012
| |
| boringplayer: 27.Qf3 Rh2, with..Qh3 coming. If 28) Qe3, then 28) ..Rh1+; 29)Kg2 Qh3+; 30)Kf3 Rf1+; 31) Rf1 Qf1+ ; 32) Kg4 f5#. |
