Jun-10-08 Morphy vs T Bryan, 1859    yoni.tsab: It's amazing to see how Morphy saw the smothered mate on move 17. He is consistent about removing black queen from the d8-h4 diagonal in order to clear the e7 square, and this by playing 17. e5! and 18. h4! I wish we could all see how Morphy would play today with the current GM...      Apr-16-08 Blackburne vs J Schwarz, 1881    yoni.tsab: I do think that 26.Rxh5 is great, it is less good because its mate in 5, but is also playble, check it out: 26. Rxh5 gxh5 27. Rxh5 Ng6 (must guard h8 square) 28. Qg5 Kf8 29. Rh8+ Nxh8 30. Qg7# if 27... Nxh5 28. Qg5+ Kh7 29. Qg7#      Dec-24-07 Rubinstein vs NN, 1902    yoni.tsab: The conclusion is that Qf6 is mate in 4, and Qxh7 is mate in 3.      Oct-11-07 Alekhine vs J Drewitt, 1923    yoni.tsab: I think that move 22. Bxg7!! is the whole point. if 22... Kxg7?? 23. Qg4+ Kf8 24. Rh8# (23... Kf6 Qg5#). If black decline the bishop sac on g7, than 23. Qg4 with an attack to follow.      Aug-22-07 S Polgar vs V Dimitrov, 1984    yoni.tsab: if 21...Bxf6 than: 22. Qh5+ Ke7 23. Qxh7+ Kd6 24. Nf7+ Kc7 25. Nxd8+ Kxd8 26. Qxb7 Great game.      May-30-07 S Agdestein vs Adams, 1994    yoni.tsab: I looked first at 31. Qh6 because I knew that the mate will be on the week g7 square, but after 31... f6 I would get nowhere. so then I knew that I must add pressure to that g7 square with 31. Nf5! before moving the queen to h6.      May-21-07 Moll vs Falkbeer, 1864    yoni.tsab: I think that a lot of us wanted Qh4 because this is a common position which is reached in games, and bring us situation like this one below where the rook sac doesn't work. [DIAGRAM] usually it happens after a minor piece sac which is located on the b file (or the g file for ...      May-14-07 A Anastasian vs Tiviakov, 1999    yoni.tsab: this beautiful mate reminds me of a game I played, I reached this position with white. [DIAGRAM] white to move.      May-11-07 G Hammond vs Morphy, 1857    yoni.tsab: if 29. Rxd7 than black would have mate in 3 with ...Rb1+ !!      May-11-07 Kupreichik vs Tukmakov, 1985    yoni.tsab: i also thought of 22 Bg5 . how do you put a picture of a chess board in this forum?
