Apr-07-25 Z Frometa Castillo vs L Kristol, 1988    moodini: After a short think, <moodini> chose Re8+ and then having seen the solution wished he'd had a slightly longer think.      Oct-29-24 Shankland vs Caruana, 2024   moodini: Black's long castling took me by surprise. It looked wrong.      Sep-30-24 J Rodgaard vs P Kiriakov, 2003    moodini: After interminable reflection, user <Damenlaeuferbauer> made their post.      Sep-11-24 L Jarocka vs J Schneider, 2022   moodini: I went straight for 28. Rxh6 although I did not see the mate, just that I'd be a queen for a bishop up and probably mate quickly. 28. d6 looked like it gave black a chance to do something, although apparently black is doomed. I find it easier to look for forcing moves rather than ...      Aug-27-24 N Miezis vs de Firmian, 1999    moodini: I saw that the immediate 27. Rxe7 could be met by Qxe1 which looks bad news for white but I did not see how to make Rxe7 work. It seems that the players also got it wrong, so I should not feel too bad.      Aug-23-24 B Fellowes vs P Lalic, 2024    moodini: I'm surprised that neither of them had anything more interesting to do.      Aug-14-24 M Cebalo vs L Kritz, 2009    moodini: <The following line must be enough: 28. Rc8 Ra1+ 29. Kg2 Qa3 30. b4...> Instead of b4 Qxf7+ mates      Jul-04-24 Duda vs J Adamski, 2014    moodini: <Allderdice83: My move was 20. Bh6. > That was my very first thought to deflect the queen but black can just play 20 .. Nxh6 and I think white is dead. I then went for Nxd5 but did not see all of the follow up.      Jun-26-24 F Ljukin vs Morozevich, 1994    moodini: Well I tried to solve it as white to play and came up with Rd2 to avoid the Rxa2 tactic, but saw nothing very good for white. So I suppose despite my stupidity at least I saw the idea behind the actual puzzle.      Dec-06-23 V Loginov vs E Alekseev, 2001   moodini: I did not get it. But I was distracted by wondering how many puns have been submitted for the white player's games.
