| wouldpusher: Position after <11. ... ♘e5>: [DIAGRAM] Karpov fires away with <12. ♖xe5!> [DIAGRAM] And now <12. ... dxe5 13. d6 ♗xd6 14. ♗c6+!> shatter's Pronin's position: [DIAGRAM] Perhaps better than the text is 13. ... ♖b8 14. dxe7 ... |

| wouldpusher: I was thinking 30. ♖e8+ ♔f6 31. fxe5+ ♗xe5 (or ... dxe5) 32. ♖e6+ ♔g7 33. ♕g4+ would have been a different conquest. |

Dec-04-13 G Weissgerber vs A van Nuess, 1933
| |
| wouldpusher: I was thinking of 17. g4, to cover the flight square f5 and threatening mate with either ♕f7 or ♕f5. |

Jun-04-11 S Ovsejevitsch vs A Goloshchapov, 1997
| |
| wouldpusher: I think 23. ♖e5 ♖e4 should be followed by 24. ♗a5, with the idea of 24. ... ♕xa5 25. ♕xd5+ ♔g7 26. ♖xe4. However it seems that 23. ... ♗e7 holds the defense. Not very sure with the complications here. |

| |
| wouldpusher: Finding 18. ♗xf6 gxf6 19. ♖xh7+ ♔xh7 20. ♕h3+ ♔g7 is easy, but the trick here is that 21. ♖e3? immediately succumbs to 21. ... ♖h8! 22. ♖g3+ ♔f8 23. ♕xh8+ ♔e7, leaving with only a ♙ up. The key move to this ... |

Nov-19-10 Y Wan vs S Abu Sufian, 2009

| wouldpusher: I seem to have missed the longest variation in the e5 line: 24. e5 dxe5 25. ♕xe5+ ♔f8 26. ♖xd7 ♔e8 27. ♗xe6! ♕xe6 28. ♕xe6+ fxe6 29. ♖a7 ♖xc2+ 30. ♔xc2 ♖c8+ 31. ♔b1 a2+ 32. ♔xa2 ♖c2+ 33. ... |
