Sep-21-23 P Johner vs F D Rosebault, 1910 
| |
| eblunt: <TheaN:> Totally agree, 3 easy to see moves and white is 2 pieces up and the queens off the board, and black has no attack going anywhere. I'd play this like a shot. |

Jul-21-23 Lombardy vs Polugaevsky, 1978
| |
| eblunt: What I find interesting about this is that the white queen plays no part in this. The other 3 white major pieces rip apart a 5 piece black defence with having to bother to get the white queen out of bed. |

| |
| eblunt: <ajk68: I'm surprised by 53. Qxe5+. It's a bit inaccurate> Maybe, but I'd go for a huge simplification like that always. I could win from that postion against anyone. |

| eblunt: Yes , because the winning sequence is forced. Bh4 sort of gave it away for black. |

May-05-23 E Ghaem Maghami vs R Bancod, 2004
| |
| eblunt: The first two moves scream out really - lose a knight to take out blacks 2 centre pawns and promote white's DS Bishop to be a monster, with a nice threat to Black's rook as a bonus. I would play that OTB like a shot. Whatever Black replies with, the pressure on g7 is unbearable. |

| eblunt: <mayankk> or 18...Bg4 wins the Queen as well |

Feb-20-23 J Szmetan vs Quinteros, 1972
| |
| eblunt: Went for the Q grab. TBH on the board I would always do that - a safe win straight away without risking miscalculating a mating pattern |

Feb-15-23 Stahlberg vs J Bolbochan, 1941
| |
| eblunt: <Dionysius1:> Being a bit sharper nowadays I gave exf6 e.p. a look in the diagrammed position.
But Bxf5 was clearly better.
I though e.p was only allowed for one move immediately after the 2 square move ? |

Feb-14-23 R Zelcic vs Z Mestrovic, 1999
| |
| eblunt: If black is going to struggle on, isn't 16 ... Bxh3 the best of a bad job ? at least keeps the +1 pawn advantage. It's still a lost cause though |
