Feb-28-23 G Szabo vs N Stepanencu, 2023 
|
daladno: I was surprised that after the critical error 24...Kg4 it was actually mate in 7, according to the engine. It's great that White didn't see it and that final horse dance followed. A pure pleasure of chess! |

Aug-29-22 D Malla vs W Kobese, 2006 
|
daladno: As <AlicesKnight>, I noted the theme from Bernstein - Capablanca game instantly, and thus saw Qc3 right away. Then I hesitated for some time seeing that actually the best Black gets is winning another pawn.
I was surprised to see White fall on his sword and chose the quick ... |
