Aug-13-19 Botvinnik vs Keres, 1966    tobywan: I solved it quickly. Now you tell me I've seen it before? You think I've learned something? Nah.      Jul-18-17 Borbely vs Kovacs, 1948    tobywan: Cute!      Jul-03-17 J Montezinos vs Euwe, 1927    tobywan: No queen sac. Clearly too difficult for a Monday.      Dec-29-14 R Slobodjan vs R Prasca Sosa, 2004    tobywan: <TheTamale … I've always wanted to use "any" in my notation. Just like Tartakower!> Me too, but you beat me to it.      Dec-24-14 Kibitzer's Café    tobywan: I got one! Yayayayayaayyy!      Dec-10-14 R Platz vs C Hess Jr, 1994    tobywan: Awright, you spoilsports, stop with all the "easy Monday" stuff. Get this: I solved a Wednesday problem. :-P      Nov-19-14 S Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984    tobywan: <Granny O Doul> Because "Duesy" is the correct (well, that's an odd adjective to apply; at least it's the original) spelling. "It's a Duesy" was originally an ad slogan for the Duesenberg automobile. Of chess I am largely ignorant, but ads crowd my brain.      Aug-11-14 D Maric vs J Schmehl, 2004    tobywan: 28 Rh5 <any> 29 Qh6# I always wanted to say, <any>.      Feb-11-11 J Klein vs B Marcussi, 1963    tobywan: <dzechiel: ....23 Nf5+ Black is caught between a rock and a hard place here....> A rook and a hard place?      Jan-19-11 A Neumann vs D Przepiorka, 1904    tobywan: Monday and Tuesday stumped me completely, but I got Wednesday in a minute. Huh? Blink, blink. I saw the longer line of defense first. I spent another five minutes going over and over both of them. Then the "roomful of grandmasters" (Heisman) were convinced. Yay! Got Wednesday!
