Dec-16-24 J Roycroft vs NN, 1950   samvega: This game is identical to Roycroft vs NN, 1862 . I can't submit a correction slip as I have no idea which is correct; it's just something I noticed while checking out the opening of the day.      Oct-27-24 P Cramling vs L Johansson, 2014   samvega: I think the game score may make sense if 20..Bb7 and 30.Qxb7 are replaced by 20..Bd7 and 30.Qxd7. The proposed alternative score would eventually realign with the existing score at 40.Qxa7. I don't think there are any illegal or nonsensical moves with the aforementioned ...      Aug-25-24 D Rogozenco vs I Sofronie, 2002    samvega: In the puzzle position, white is threatening Bxh5, with what looks to me advantage, which is one of the reasons ..Ng3+ is a candidate move. So in response to your question, olinart, it occurred to me that saccing the exchange with 20.Bxh5 might be the counter to 19..Bf2, but it is ...      Jun-02-24 L P Supi vs B Adhiban, 2023    samvega: I went for 39..Nd2, and was reasonably pleased that SF evaluates that as >3 point advantage for black, until I discovered that SF also evaluates a >3 point advantage to black for skipping his turn.      Jan-23-24 J Sarkar vs Brunello, 2019    samvega: I too calculated only as far as 30..Nxa3 31.Kxa3 Qc1+ 32. Ka4 Qa1+ 33. Kb5 Rb1+ Ka6, and figured that was sufficient because it simply had to be better than the alternative 30..Nb6 31. Bxa5. WRONG! Firstly 30..Nb6 31.Bxa5?? fails to 31..Nd5 32. Bxc7 Nc3+(didn't see that), and SF ...      Jan-17-24 S Factor vs C Jaffe, 1926    samvega: Thank you!      Jan-16-24 Stahlberg vs B H Villegas, 1942   samvega: Nifty little tactic in the intermediate 15.Ba3, vastly stronger than the immediate recapture. 22.Rf5 is also nice, plus the liquidation at the end.      Dec-18-23 E Diemer vs M Kloss, 1950    samvega: Cheers.      Nov-16-23 K Shirazi vs R Lemon, 1983    samvega: The puzzle may have meant to have been white to play at move 19.      Nov-05-23 Quinteros vs Kavalek, 1974   samvega: Good Lord. Can't believe I missed that. Thanks fellas.
