Sep-16-23 Speelman vs Koneru, 2002

| vajeer: I also considered 22. Re5 instead of 22.g4
<Brenin> has covered Qd7 response. Another alternate line is - 22..Nxd3, but then 23. Rd1 cripples black's position. Black's position is so bad at the puzzle situation - knight is pinned, queen is pinned (of sort) to defend the ... |

Sep-07-23 D Paravyan vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2021

| |
| vajeer: Nice subtle puzzle for Wednesday. Main point is to play 51. Bf5 before playing Qh5 because that takes away Bg7 defence. |

| |
| vajeer: <agb2002:> I would say, try to play just one actual game (not just puzzle, or watching a played game) once a week. It will help you keep going. I will hate to lose a fellow chess player.. |
