Sep-02-21 Bacrot vs Bareev, 2010
| |
| nikonoel: You are all complaining about Bareev "missing" 19. ... Be6 but he probably saw 20.Rxe6 fxe6 (certainly a mistake but the most logical move) 21.Bxe6+ Kh8 22.Bxe7! Qxe7 23.Ng6+ followed by mate on the h-file. |

May-21-21 Alekhine vs Bogoljubov, 1937
| |
| nikonoel: Why did Bogo play 21...gxf6?! Surely Kh8 couldn't have escaped him... Or did it? He was definitely much weaker than Alekhine. |

May-21-21 I Jones vs J Dueball, 1974
| |
| nikonoel: A good way to start a Friday but I expected something a bit more difficult. Did the CCTP method. Check for Checks, Captures, Threats and Pawn breaks (in that order). 1. Checks : none relevant
2. Captures: Qxa4 doesn't seem promising to say the least 3. Threats: I see 2 pieces ... |
