Feb-06-06 A Niedermayer vs P Haba, 1996    erikcu: Yeah, it is one of those moves that when I see it in a game, I think. It can't be that simple, and then I get all clamy looking for the trap.      Jan-19-06 J Polgar vs A Antunes, 1996    erikcu: Would you call this 4th and inches? That passed pawn was screaming promote me, White puts up a nice fight though.      Jan-17-06 Larsen vs Spassky, 1981    erikcu: I have been away from the board for over a month, so this Tuesday puzzle took me a while.      Nov-21-05 E Diemer vs Portz, 1948    erikcu: I can't say I have ever been disappointed with the puzzles here. I too spent a good while looking for the queen trap, and then gave that up and said to myself, Sac the Queen. Great for a Monday puzzle.      Nov-14-05 Tarrasch vs A Mannheimer, 1880    erikcu: <dwojiow: There is a way more spectacular way to win this: 27.Qf6+!> I'll take efficient over spectacular everytime. However I saw 'spectacular' instead of game as played. Spectacular is just more drawn out. I feel like I missed a Monday puzzle.      Nov-11-05 K Visweswaran vs J Gonzales, 2005    erikcu: For me this was a lot more straight forward than yesterday's puzzle.      Nov-10-05 A Zaitsev vs Gipslis, 1969    erikcu: This was tough to say the least... I love those replies, that had less of a clue than me, telling the 'obvious' rebuttle to 39. fxe4... especially after crafty posts a 10 ply line explaining. Thanks crafty, that was a tough line for me to see.      Nov-08-05 Ed Lasker vs F Englund, 1913    erikcu: <I recommand this book: "How to beat your dad in chess" by GM Chandler> I can beat my Dad at chess, however he can do things that I can't, like repair a car engine or design and build a house... I'd trade abilities with him in a minute.      Nov-07-05 J Murey vs E Mortensen, 1982    erikcu: I remember the first time I saw this puzzle here. (or one much like it) I am glad I got it easilly this time. smothered mates although rare are great to keep in mind.      Nov-04-05 Bronstein vs Geller, 1955    erikcu: Or were there possibilities after 17. That was as far as I calculated for the puzzle..
