Oct-04-25 M Esserman vs Benjamin, 2010    mdz: The game would have ended with 27...Nxd6 28. Bxd6 Qxe7 29. Qf7# or 27...Qxe7 28. dxe7+ Kxe7 29. Qe6+ Kd8 30. Nf7#      Sep-13-25 Bondarevsky vs V Saigin, 1945    mdz: In the game, better 34.Rg5 with a threat 35.Q:h7+ K:h7 36.Rh5x The only B defense 34...Qxe5 35. Rxe5 Nxe5 36. Bxe5 Bxg2 37. Bxg7+ Rxg7 38. Qxg7+ Kxg7 39. Kxg2 and W has extra R.      Sep-08-25 Van Wely vs M Wahls, 1992    mdz: The 2nd mate: 39...Rg1+ 40.R:g1 Q:f3+      Aug-07-25 Razuvaev vs A Matanovic, 1973   mdz: This deep and beautiful combination began much earlier with N sacrifice on move 36, followed by R sacrifice and Q sacrifice in main variation: 36.Ne4 R:e4 37.R:e4 N:e4 38.f7+ Kh8 39.Qd4+ Nf6 40.Rd7 Q:d7 41.Q:f6+ Bg7 42.Bd4 1:0      May-18-25 S Namgilov vs Psakhis, 1977    mdz: Also 38...Rg1+ 39. Kf3 Qb3+ 40. Ke4 Qb1+ 41. Rd3 c4 leads to the same result: 42.Ne7+ Kf8 43. Qh6+ Bg7 44. Rf2+ Ke8 45. Qg6+ Kd7 46. Qe6+ Kc7 47. Qc8+ Kb6 48. Qd8+ Kb5 49. Qd7+ Ka5 50. Nc6+ Kb6 51. Qd8+ Kc5 52. Qa5+ b5 53. Qa3+ Kb6 54. Qa5+ with perpetual.      Dec-28-23 Ehlvest vs L Schandorff, 1983    mdz: Comedy of errors at the end. First, W, instead of winning with 33.Rxe6 Qd5+ 34.Qxd5 Rxd5 35.Re8+ Kf7 36.Rxb8, plays 33.Qxe6+ which gains a draw at best. Then, W instead of fighting for a draw with 37.Qxc5, plays 37.Re5 which loses to 37...Qd6 38.Qg5+ Kg7 39.Re7+ Kf8. Then B, instead of ...      Oct-01-21 Mamedyarov vs A Adly, 2008    mdz: If B plays 20...Rg8, W has 21. Qh5 Qc7 22.

Re1+      Feb-05-16 Jobava vs L Galego, 2005    mdz: Just was going to post 25.Rxe6 fe 26.Rd5 cd 27.Bxg7+ Kxg7 28.Qg6+ Kh8 29.Bg8 Rxg8 30.Qh6# but then saw that pogo5 posted it already 10 years ago :) Baadur missed 26.Rd5      May-21-14 E Magerramov vs V Malaniuk, 1989    mdz: another cute line (after 18.Rxd4 Bxd4 19.Rd1): 19...e3 20.Rxd4 e2 21.Qxe2 Qxd4 22.Qe7 Qd7 23.Bd5+ Kh8 24.Bb2+
