Jun-01-15 J Lammi vs L Andonovski, 2011    fenno: Thanks Phony Benoni. Indeed, it is Lammi who we can blame about being the first who intended to steal black's Bishop here.      May-28-15 M Keller vs H Jaser, 1977    fenno: I saw immediately a mate 29. Qh8+ Kxh8 30. Qxf8X, and without confirming it, came to see the solution... (29. Qh8++?? Bxh8).      May-21-15 S Martinovic vs Marjanovic, 1980    fenno: I found 31. - Qxh4+ almost immediately, but did not find the best (wooden nickel's) line for 32. Bh3.      May-20-15 Matulovic vs H Hecht, 1965    fenno: I found 35. Qa3 quickly, but was too hasty to judge it as a winning move. I have no excuse why I did not check what happens after 35. - Qd4+ nor 35. - Rxd8...      May-19-15 T Kahl vs H Palmer, 2006    fenno: After 21. - Bxc3 white is under serious threat of being mated soon. Interesting variations arise after 22. b3 Bd2++! (double check does not give white time to do Qc4) 23. Kd1 Qc2+ 24. Ke2 Rfe8+ 25. Kf3 Rc3+ 26. Kg4 h5+ 27. Kg5 Rg3+ Now white king has three squares to move, but black      May-15-15 A Suarez Real vs J Hawkins, 2014    fenno: I found 28. d5, but did not see 28. - Kf7 coming, but instead eg. 28. - Be7 29. d6 Bxd6 30. Bxf6 Qxc8 31. Bxg7++ Kxg7 32. Qg6+ Kf8 33. Rf6+ Ke7 34. Qf7+ Kd8 35. Rxd6+ Qd7 36. Qxd7X, or 31. - Kg8 32. Qg6 Qxe6 33. Qxe6+ Kxg7 34. Qxd6, and white has winning advantage. It seems that ...      May-14-15 S Hayes vs G Chandler, 2004    fenno: This was easy and took about one minute to solve. "Check until it is mate" type of a chess problem is called "mansubi", if I recall it right.      May-13-15 Yates vs Rubinstein, 1925    fenno: In my opinion the active multipurpose 24. - Re5 was the key move here.      May-13-15 P Smederevac vs C van den Berg, 1965    fenno: Oh, I did not see devere's 30. - Ng3+! Black gets many "revenge checks" in 31. Kg2 f3+ 32. Kf2 Qb2+ 33. Kxf3 Qc3+ 34. Kg2 Qb2+ 35. Kxg3 Qc3+ 36. Kg2 Qb2+ 37. Kf1      May-12-15 O H Castro Rojas vs Ivkov, 1978    fenno: I thought the main variation was 34. Nd6 Qd7 (protecting both the knight on e6 and the f7 square) 35. Qg6, with idea of 36. Qh7+ Kf8 36. Rf5+ Ke7 and 37. Rf7+, but found (too late) the best defence 35. - Nf8! after which white probably must try perpetual check with 36. Rh8+ Kxh8 37. ...
