| tjraczko: Thanks, Zanshin. I knew that a fork was involved but I had the wrong move order. |

Feb-07-07 Westerinen vs G Sigurjonsson, 1977

| tjraczko: Like <goldfarb> I saw the deflection (theme perhaps?) idea right away, then had to work out the move order. |

May-09-05 Keene vs R Calvo Minguez, 1968
| |
| tjraczko: <aw1988> On 1.Qe8 what if Black makes a waiting move like 1.... c4, 2.d8=Q Qxd8 doesn't work. |

| |
| tjraczko: It always amazes me how tricky K+P endings are. So few pieces, so simple looking, and so subtle. |

Apr-26-05 P Troeger vs G Hodakowsky, 1957
| |
| tjraczko: I've got to weigh in on the side of <Marvol> and <artemis>. Perhaps another way to look at these problems, is as "Tactics Training" rather than as tactics puzzles. Interesting technique in this problem with the three pawns vs. rook, I hadn't seen or thought about this ... |

Apr-05-05 V Georgiev vs W Spoelman, 2005
| |
| tjraczko: A bit difficult for a Tues. I shouldn't try to solve based on my expectation of how difficult the problem should be. Then again I'm out of it. Completely missed the fact that White cannot give a tempo because of 33.... Qe3#. I was looking at 33. Rg8+ Kxg8 34. Qa7. |

Mar-31-05 S J Hutchings vs Keene, 1973
| |
| tjraczko: Best continuation I can come up with is
23.Ke1 Nf3+ 24.Ke2 Nxd2 25.Kxd2 Rxb2+
26.Kc1 Rxf2 27.Bh3 Ree2. |
