Sep-14-24 F Duz-Khotimirsky vs Salwe, 1903 
| |
| sp12: How about this:
23..Ra8
if 24. BxQ, Rxa1 mate
24.Rxa8 Rxe2 (Q sacrifice as threatening mate again on first rank), now we are a rook up
25. Ra1 Qa8! (cannot take as mate again on first rank)
26. Rc1 to protect. bishop...continue to attack. Bishop/rook etc |

Sep-11-22 R Cifuentes vs A Gallucci, 2012
| |
| sp12: SHouldn't this work?
23....Qa3+ 24. Kb1 Bf6
threatening to mate with Rb8+.
If White blocks with Rb7 or Bb5 or Qb5, then
25. Rb7(or Bb5/Qb5) Qc3 threatening mate on Qa1
26.Kc1 e3. (threatening mate with Qa1+ followed by Bb2+)
26a. Rb1 Bd4... which leads to black advantage
26b. |
