Sep-14-23 K Darga vs J Durao, 1963

paavoh: Somehow 22.c6 seems more natural than the game continuation. |

|
paavoh: I jinxed him. Three draws in a row to follow... |

Aug-04-23 Alekhine vs Z von Balla, 1921 
|
paavoh: Quite straightforward IMO. White must take on c3 diverting the Black Queen from b5 square and Qxb5+ and Bh6+ will follow. Then doubling on the d file to end the game. |

|
paavoh: Agree with <Brenin> and <Refused>. Rch3 suggested itself, not too difficult. |

Jul-31-23 Polugaevsky vs G Goldberg, 1954 
|
paavoh: Yes, after 64.Bxb4+ Kf6 it would have been a mate in 17. |

Jul-31-23 T Wibe vs O Sande, 1975

Jun-19-23 Anand vs Mamedyarov, 2022 
|
paavoh: Foggy vision today... Took my time to find Qxf3+ as the first move. <Sally Simpson>'s find Andersson-Hartston is nice too. |

Jun-16-23 Forintos vs V Tomovic, 1957 
|
paavoh: Black has a mate in two, so White has to give check right away with Rh8+. Too easy for Friday. |
