Jun-15-25 S Nedeljkovic vs A Matanovic, 1950
|
joeld: Beautiful "closing the cage" at the end. These moves are often hard to find when calculating mating attacks. I found this combination in Aleksander Kostyev's book From Beginner to Expert in 40 Lessons translated by Jon Speelman. |

Jun-10-25 Giri vs J Christiansen, 2013 
|
joeld: Quite a beautiful game. I love how Giri puts a lockdown on the f-file, locks the opponent's king out of the game, advances his own, and simply wins the endgame. |
