| |
| rodchuck: I initially thought Nxg7, but rejected it because of 40...Bb7+ 41. Nd5 Bxd5+, 42.Rxd5 Qxd5+ which is as far as I went. I didn't consider 41. Ne4. It just didn't look good for white |

| rodchuck: It seems to me that after 22.c4, black siezes the initiative with 22....f5. I would have thought 22.exf6 would have been interesting. Maybe white was afraid of 22...Qxf6 with a double attack on f2, although 23.Qg3 would have countered this. |

Aug-09-23 de Firmian vs Lautier, 1990
| |
| rodchuck: Is the black bishop really lost after 34. Kg2?
What happens if 34....Bc8? Wherever the rook goes on the 7th rank, 35...Kd8. I guess white can "only" mop up the g7 and a5 pawns, which is sufficient for the win. |

Apr-21-23 R Byrne vs P Bachmann, 1952

| rodchuck: What happens after 39...Qg7? If 40. Qd8+ then 40....Qf8 doesn't seem to lead anywhere for white |
