|
hnishy: In 1997, Watai published a beginner's book titled "Saishin Zukai Chesu" (=newest illustrated Chess). On page 202, there is a "study" she claims to have "easily" composed. White:Kc7,Bc6,d3,f4 Black:Kg6,Qe6
Her solution runs: 1.f5+ Kxf5 2.Bd7 and wins. But of course, 2....Qxd7+ 3.Kxd7 |

Nov-13-07 Geller vs Vasiukov, 1975

hnishy: Many mistakes for both sides. Geller, in his book 'Application of Chess Theory', claims the position after 32.Rd3 is 'very difficult for Black to find a reasonable continuation. White. But Black has more than one riposte; 32...Ng5! 33.hg5 hg5+ 34.Kg1 Ba7+ |

Oct-01-07 Svidler vs Grischuk, 2007 
|
hnishy: In fact, 20.Rc1 is mentioned in the San Luis tournament book as "very strong" (instead of 20.Qb3 played in Svidler - Topalov). When Svidler played Rc1 quickly, Grischuk sunk into thought....he was not prepared, it seems. |
