Oct-06-13 V Kudris vs O Stjazhkina, 2000 
|
newshutz: This one was easy for me, because I started out analyzing white to move. It looked way to easy for a Sunday, then the lightning struck: BLACK to move. Since I had already determined that the Bd5 was essential to white, it was fairly easy to see that pin/diverting it had to be the ... |

Jul-15-12 Nunn vs Csom, 1977 
|
newshutz: For those complaining about this "puzzle", solutions are always to be found in the kibitzing, the games are not definitive, nor are annotations. (and I hope it does not have to be said that us kibitzers are mortals and full of mistakes) Chessgames.com "puzzles" are positions for ... |

newshutz: <Once> I have a list of "seeds" I have gathered from Heisman's articles. Though it is not in the article you pointed to, "3+pieces near enemy king" is on my list, as is "domination of force in one area of the board". "Exposed pieces with little mobility and might easily be ... |

newshutz: Sloppy play by white.
