| dufferps: I missed the Rd1 deflection/pin of white's Queen. I was fixed on Qh8+? -- white King escapes to f2, then to e1. |

| |
| dufferps: I think black would do better with 33. ... Ke8, but he loses anyway. |

Dec-27-16 G Andruet vs Van der Wiel, 1985
| |
| dufferps: I expected white to play 32.exd5, keeping the e2 sqare protected by the bishop. |

| |
| dufferps: Like some others, I made the same bad move as loser Bahgat. Good Lesson. |

Oct-13-16 J Penrose vs Tartakower, 1950
| |
| dufferps: Nice when GMs play it to the end - even when the forced winning line is quite obvious - gives us stuggling players a chance to check our game skills. |

Aug-16-16 D Orzech vs N Popova, 2009
| |
| dufferps: White is probably doomed after 24. ... Rxc3. However, 25.Qb1 would have prolonged the game quite a bit and given white some breathing space.
I see:
25. Qb1 Rb3 (threaten Rxb2)
26. Rxf3 Bxf3 (White's Q is overworked)
27. Qc2 Rxb2
28. Qc1 Bc3+
29. Kf1 Rd2 (Finally stacks ... |

May-10-16 A Adamski vs G Szilagyi, 1976
| |
| dufferps: It was a good lesson for me to work out the end game for white - must get my king ahead of my c-pawn to avoid stalemate. I can stop promotion at h1 with my king after I get my queen. |

May-04-16 A Caoili vs C Rodriguez Monteiro, 1996
| |
| dufferps: I should have mentioned ... After 25.Bxg5 Rxg5+ 26.Ng3 Qxh3. white would follow with advancing his pawn to c4 -- letting black's bishop capture his queen would not be a good trade, especially now that he's lost both Bishops. |

| dufferps: Yes, the next two moves are intuitive. After that it is hard to see the line,. |

Apr-19-16 M Tseitlin vs A Mikhalevski, 1996
| |
| dufferps: Yes, black can answer with 38. ... Nc6, but white advances his b-pawn, and I see no way for black to hold on. |
