Feb-12-10 Shirov vs L Dominguez Perez, 2010 
|
princeali123456: I'm sorry but 31.b4 should get !! rather than just one ! because it wins instantly! White can by either play Qa8 or Rd8 for a win, both of which are guarded by the black Q. 31.b4 either takes the queen or allows one of the winning moves I listed above. Shirov is human! He ... |

|
princeali123456: There are those days when I win a dozen games in a row on Caissa or Playchess and get my rating as high as 2100. There are also days when I lose most of my games and go down to 1700's. Looks like Shirov is having one of those good days (Tournaments) and Morozovich have had ... |

Dec-03-09 Kamsky vs Leko, 2008 
|
princeali123456: Same here, leass than a second! I seldom get Thursday's puzzles but this was easy. I would have played Ba3. It would have won too! Now I think Ra3 is more decisive |

Aug-18-09 V Manko vs Jankowitz, 1900 
|
princeali123456: I thought I had an alternative solution but it ended up not being a solution! A mate in 2 but it can be avoided with 9.d4! Here,
8... Nxf5 leads to the same result after 9.Rxf6(Q) then 9...Nd3# however, 8...Rxf6 is not forced!! and trouble can be avoided with 9.d4 |

May-19-09 D Stets vs M Oleksienko, 2009 
|
princeali123456: Bottom line is, there is only one solution which black saw and resigned before white made his next move. 31.Rg1 pins the Q. White can't take with B because of 32.Nxe7#. All back can do is just sit there (A rook move), white then can then exchange the Q for an R. Finally, Qh4 |
