Oct-24-22 V Papin vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2004 
|
rogl: Actually there can be a practical reson to convert to a rook. Here Papin had a rook readily available, but maybe he would have had to go looking for an extra queen. |

|
rogl: < bcokugras: If black played 34. Rxe4 how would the game go on?>
White would play Nxg7 with the dual threats of Qxe4 and Qh8+. Black is toast. |

Jan-29-22 Carlsen vs V S Gujrathi, 2022 
|
rogl: According to the engine the only winning continuation is 36. Re7+ Kf6(other king moves are much worse) 37. Re4. I'm sure the "OMG!! What a blunder!" guys can give a comprehensive explanation why this is the case. |

rogl: After 27...Re6 Stockfish says that 28.g4!! is completely winning, but I doubt a human would find that with only a few minutes left. |
