Jun-12-21 Quinteros vs Larsen, 1973    master8ch: 36...Qc2+ should end it right there.      Jun-08-21 Grischuk vs Deac, 2021    master8ch: 23...Qd6 stops the pawn and threatens Rc5, winning it. If White plays Rac1 or, as in the game, b4, Black plays Rh4, attacking the h2 pawn. After White stops that threat, Black answers with Rh5, winning the d5 pawn and balancing material.      Jun-07-21 B Ivanovic vs Keres, 1972   master8ch: Keres could have played his Bf5 sac five moves earlier.      Jun-04-21 Keres vs P Dely, 1970    master8ch: 22.g6 presents Black with the same threats 2 moves earlier. Why wait?      May-28-21 S Hamann vs N Minev, 1963   master8ch: I had assumed White played 31.Rc6 in order to follow up with 32.Rxg6+ fxg6 33.Qxg6+ Kh8(or Kf8) 34.Qf6+, and 35.Qxf4. But then I saw 35...Qh3+ 36.Kg1 Nf3+, winning the White Queen.      May-28-21 Kashdan vs Tartakower, 1931   master8ch: Black could have won a knight with 26...Bxe2.      May-28-21 J Bolbochan vs Keres, 1937    master8ch: 51.Bh7 is a huge improvement for White.      May-22-21 S Goundar vs Wongi Baek, 2012    master8ch: 38.Qh6 would have been a nice way to end it.      May-17-21 Salwe vs Alekhine, 1914    master8ch: It's not about repetitive sequences (although there are three,) it's about repetitive positions, and they don't even have to be consecutive. After Alekhine played 28...Qh5+, Salwe should have called an arbiter to the board, saying he intended to play 29.Ke1, bringing about a ...      May-15-21 Chernin vs P Bono, 2005    master8ch: A simple reply to Black's last move is 35.Qe5, guarding g3, keeping the Knight pinned, and strengthening the threat of Rxg7.
