charmarks: <luzhin> Great ending. Alekhine's Gun pressures e7, weakening f7. The queen then sneaks out and eyes g6. |

Mar-02-14 Tseitlin vs Gulko, 1971 
|
charmarks: Ah, the simple move. Thanks, chinokoli. I am much better at visualing on a physical board than one on the monitor. After Bg7, I saw: 25. Nxf7 Qxb2
26. Qxe6 Qb1+
27. Kh2 Qxd3
28. Nh6+ Kh8
29. Qg8+ Rxg8
30. Nf7++
. . . but I just now saw 26. . . . Qf6. Does Qf6 hold? |

charmarks: <Phony Benoni>, I would even say it's in the Top 6 of 2014 so far. :D |

Jan-03-14 Z Andriasian vs S Novikov, 2013
|
charmarks: It looks as though White had a choice between picking up the pawn on b2 or taking the knight. I would counter 27. Qxd7 with ... Qxb4 and then, assuming the N moves, 28. ... Qxe4 attacking the rook. |

Dec-31-13 Caruana vs J Werle, 2009 
|
charmarks: <Poisonpawns> Ooh, good point. Always look one move further. Yeah, diversions such as 34. Nf6+ don't work because the black Q guards e8. So, I definitely think black is better after 32. ... Nc3 than 32. ... Re5, which probably means that white should have transposed Kh1 and ... |
