Jun-16-23 Forintos vs V Tomovic, 1957 
| |
| get Reti: It�s nice how in the final position, each square around the king is attacked by exactly one piece or pawn. |

May-08-23 Miles vs Browne, 1982
| |
| get Reti: I agree, this is advanced for a Monday. I saw the double bishop sac, but black has the ability to decline the second sac, and even if he doesn't you still have to get the queen to f6 or it might be a draw. |

Apr-04-23 I Rogers vs S Megaranto, 2001
| |
| get Reti: <TheaN> After 26.g3 Qxd2 27.f4?, black can play Qg2 mate. I almost got tricked by that same idea. |

Mar-14-23 O Sarapu vs P Cunningham, 1983
| |
| get Reti: I got it but still think it is slightly tricky for a Tuesday, because it involves both putting the queen en prise (although not actually since te bishop is pinned) and then later sacking the queen after Rg8. So not super straightforward. |

Mar-13-23 A Afonasieva vs L Dryaeva, 2022
| |
| get Reti: Mondays are usually a piece sac that forces checkmate, not winning a pawn but still having a drawish position if they decline a further sac. |

Sep-21-22 D Mabbs vs L Alexander, 1972
| |
| get Reti: Surprisingly, I saw all the moves in the solution before even realizing that the queen is en prise. But then my solution was good anyways. |

Sep-20-22 L Rellstab vs G Stoltz, 1930
| |
| get Reti: <mayankk06> After 24... Bxf6 25 Bxf6 g6 26 Qg5 black can play 26. Kh7 and hold off mate for the time being, although white is still winning. |

Sep-19-22 M Bezold vs Kharlov, 1992
| |
| get Reti: I actually first saw the longer mate of 27. Rb8+ Kd7 28. Rxd5+ cxd5 29. Qxd5+ Ke7 30. Rb7+ followed by mate in a few moves. But then I knew that Mondays should be easier than that, and saw the move from the game. |
