| ksh123: I thought of 25. Bc1, attacking the black's queen and threatening 26. Qxg7#. The only way black could prevent mate was by giving up his queen. Looks like that would do as well. |

Feb-05-07 Smyslov vs D E Rumens, 1976
| |
| ksh123: Well, I think is this game is more about black losing rather than white winning.
I dont find any advantage with white after move 30.
Also, I dont get the pun either... |

Feb-03-07 M Wilder vs A Lein, 1981
| |
| ksh123: My solution was 22. Rxe6 first followed by 23. Bxh6. Looks like that would work as well. Good puzzle! |

| ksh123: Took me about 5 mins but I got it. Feels nice to crack a Friday puzzle, which I rarely get. |

| |
| ksh123: <princeofdragons> I agree with that. In fact, my solution was 21. Rg6 instead of 21. Qh6, thus trapping the black's queen. |

Nov-28-06 Lasker / Saulson / Rhodus / Wilcox vs Johnston / Uedemann / Phillips / L, 1902
| |
| ksh123: Why did'nt black play 26 ...Re1, which would have been a clear win for black?
White only has 2 pieces defending the square e1, while black has both the rooks and the queen. |

Nov-05-06 M Czerniak vs U Rueetschi, 1981
| |
| ksh123: I got the solution upto 23...Kh8 but couldnt find the finishing line. However, although I havent fully analysed the game, I think that there is a better move to black's 30...Qc6. Probably 30...Qc7. |
