May-20-25 S J Solomon vs Miles, 1992   rwbean: 32. ♗e4 ♔g7 33. ♔b1 +4.01 (56 ply, SF) ... suggestions are 33... d5 or 33... ♖2a7      May-16-25 Kasparov vs M A Jimenez Clavero, 1997   rwbean: Oops, those last two were bad evals. 16... ♘d4! was pretty good, or putting the ♘ on d4, the ♕ was better on a7 than b7.      May-04-25 Fischer vs Larsen, 1958   rwbean: Back to Stockfish, looks like 22... ♗xd4 is a draw as above. 81 ply ... +0.06 22.... Bxd4 23. Rh6 Bg7 24.Qf4 e5 25.Qh4 a4 26.Rxg6 axb3 27.Rxg7+ Kf8 28. Rh1 Qc4 29. Rg8+ Ke7 30.g6+ Ke6 31.Qg4+ Kf6 32.Qf5+ Ke7 33.Qg5+ Kd7 34. Rxc8 Rxc8 35. cxb3 Qd3+ 36.Ka1 Qxf3 37.Rg1 Qf4 38.Qf5+      May-04-25 Short vs Kasparov, 1993   rwbean: Revisit 11 years later, looks like there wasn't a win with 26. ♕h7 ... Stockfish 90 ply, 6-piece TBs. After move 60 it's a drawn 7-piece KRPKBPP ending. +0.02 26.Qh7 Ke8 27.Qg8+ Rf8 28.Qxg7 Qc8 29.Bxh6 Rc1+ 30.Bxc1 Qxc1+ 31.Kf2 Qb2+ 32.Ke3 Qc3+ 33.Ke2 Qc2+ 34.Rd2 Qxe4+ 35.Re3 ...      Apr-27-25 S J Solomon vs R Griffiths, 2012   rwbean: 24... ♗xg7 25. ♕xd6 "was also good for White" (Ian Rogers) ... but was it? 25... ♗e6 26. ♘e7+ ♕xe7 27. ♕xe7 ♘xb3 28. cxb3 fxe4 29. fxe4 ♗xb3 ... I don't think White can win it      Apr-19-25 H Thomann vs P Hammargren, 1974   rwbean: 11... d5 or 12... d5 is the right way of escaping the pin on the f6 ♘. If White plays exd5 Black has ♕d6! equalizing.      Apr-17-25 P Hammargren vs E Diemer, 1974   rwbean: Just came here from the German Wikipedia Diemer article. Awesome. This is all so crazy. Just 4. ♘c3 was so much better, and not 5. d5?? ... White wanted to "punish" Black and lost instead.      Apr-15-25 S J Solomon vs G Jones, 2010   rwbean: 17... e5! 18. ♘f5! Black hasn't noticed his h5 ♘ is trapped 23. c4! vs 23. ♘xd6? ... 25... f5! vs 25... ♖xd6?? 36. ♗e7 absolutely winning ... 36. bxa5?? allows 36... ♖b8+ drawing 46. ♖xf7! forcing a win (into 7-piece tablebases!)      Apr-15-25 S J Solomon vs Miles, 1991    rwbean: Can't believe O'Neill vs Solomon 1985 isn't here ... anyway ... 15. e6! was crushing 17. ♗xf5! vs 17. ♕e4?? 23... ♕b4 winning 36. g6 mate in 16      Apr-15-25 B Remenyi vs W Den Hartog, 1990   rwbean: 5. ♘xc6? ... 5. ♘b5 is the way 10... ♔f8! 11. o-o ♗b7 12... o-o and that's about all there is to say here
