Jan-11-05 Janowski vs Marshall, 1912
| |
| captcrisis: Why not 21.fxe3? And why not 23.dxe2? (I'm just a beginner.) |

Dec-18-04 J M Boey vs F Atabek, 1973
| |
| captcrisis: It wouldn't have killed him to castle, which would have prevented Qd7, or g6, which would have prevented Qg7. (19...O-O or 19...g6.) Why didn't he do this? |

Dec-17-04 Tal vs D Gedevanishvili, 1970
| |
| captcrisis: Why not 19 ...Kg8xh7? It gets rid of the pesky bishop, allows the rook to scoot behind, and Black still has available the knight to run interference. Was it a mistake not to do this? |

Dec-12-04 N Coenen vs G Burgess, 2002
| |
| captcrisis: I see. And if 31 . . . Qxa4, then White's best move is 32. Rd7, then Kf8, 33. Rxe8+, Ke7. Black is not in a checkmate trap and still has his Queen, but is otherwise well behind in material. I suppose that's insurmountable. |

Dec-11-04 Fischer vs E Bhend, 1959
| |
| captcrisis: Yes, I remember that 1972 experience. It was not a proud moment to be an American. Fischer was throwing tantrums like a child and Americans were all for it. |

Dec-08-04 P Acs vs Van der Wiel, 2003
| |
| captcrisis: Why didn't White do 26. Qg8xb8. The rook was there for the taking. |
