| |
| think: If anyone's confused as to why Black resigned, it looks like he can do nothing about Kc3, winning the exchange for White. |

Aug-14-12 J Finnegan vs R P Allen, 1948
| |
| think: This game is fantastic! Did Black go wrong just trying to keep his extra pawn with 7. ... d5? He would probably have been better off with 11. ... Qxd5. |

| think: I love games like this where so many pyrotechnics happen in the midgame and the winner ends up with a tiny advantage that is barely enough to take home the point. Crazy game! |

| think: <waustad> It's from an episode of Seinfeld where a woman keeps going on about her fiance, and how she can't find her baby. Elaine says "maybe the dingo ate your baby" in an Australian accent. |

| think: Got this one! Don't get many Fridays. Since there are so few options, finding candidate moves was easy. One small issues was convincing myself that Kxb3 wouldn't cut it. |

Mar-09-12 M Jirovsky vs R Kempinski, 2007
| |
| think: Great Knight vs. Bishop endgame technique! The Knight and pawn on a4 and c4 are perfectly placed to keep the White King out without being attacked by the Bishop. One key move is 41. ... Kg3! because Kg4 allows Bc2 which looks like a draw. Note that the great Knight comes into play ... |
