jmcd2002: As a Caro player, the only thing I hate more than 2. d3 is the exchange/Panov. Nevertheless, 47. Qh6 is really cute in a Monday-puzzle sort of way. |

jmcd2002: 60. f3 looks like the solution to a helpmate problem.... |

Jul-15-05 Van Wely vs Sutovsky, 2005 
|
jmcd2002: Van Wely's exchange sac is illustrative of how an offside piece (in this case the Na5) can be part of the compensation. Nice. |

|
jmcd2002: Here is a nice game by today's Player of the Day. Interesting pawn sac by 17. f4 and 18. e5 - followed by using the stong passed pawns and knights to secure the victory. |

Jul-01-05 Ivanchuk vs V Chuchelov, 2005 
|
jmcd2002: Here's an interesting one. Big jumble of pieces simplifies into a position where Chucky sacs the Queen for activity and wins. I wonder what the silicon beasts would have to say about this one... |

|
jmcd2002: <Knight13> 51. g5+ really doesn't merit an exclam in that case, let alone two... |
