Mar-28-25 A Becker vs Spielmann, 1926
| |
| newzild: An excellent battle, but odd that Spielmann missed 28..Re6 - a rook lift being an obvious candidate move in this position. |

| newzild: 10...Na5? and 11...c6? are dreadful moves even for an average club player. |

| |
| newzild: <stacase> Yeah, that's right. My comment was aimed directly at your late father in law and had nothing to do with the international date line. |

Dec-09-24 J van Foreest vs M Dehn, 2013
| |
| newzild: I had a slightly different solution:
27. Rxd7 Bxd7 28.Qxe5+ Kd8
And now, instead of 29. Rxa7, I had 29. Bb6+ ab 30. Rxa8+ Bc8 31. Qd6+ Ke8 32. Rxc8 mate On 27. Rxd7 Kxd7, I had 28. Qxe5 f6 (or f5) 29. Qd6+ Ke8 30. Re3+ |

| newzild: The computer did okay in this game. It had an equal position on move 19, before 19. Rf1? |

Oct-26-24 Fischer vs Mac Hack VI, 1977
| |
| newzild: Fischer's motivation for playing these games?
