Jul-29-14 J Horton vs Y Zhou, 2014 
| |
| hstevens129: <An Englishman> Any response to 54…Ba4 loses the pawn anyway: 55. Ba2 Bd1+ and the King must move, unless 56. Ne2 Bxe2 57. Kxe2 Bxf4, and the pawn is lost anyway. Any other bishop move at 55 and the a-pawn is queening. 55. Nc6 Bd1+ and the King must move because 56. Be2 ... |

Jan-10-14 Grigor Minchev
| |
| hstevens129: Even more strangely, the link provided in Minchev's chess.com player bio leads to a page at the bottom of which are links to a game called Heroes III. A Google search for Grigor Minchev returns as many results for a Grigor Minchev who is a Heroes III expert as for a Grigor ... |

| |
| hstevens129: With possible continuation:
20...exf5
21. Qb3+ Kh8
22. Ngf7+ Kg8
23. Nh6+ Kh8
24. Ndf7+ Qxf7
25. Nxf7+ Kg8
26. e6
At which point either ...Kf8 or something like ...b6 both end quickly for Black. |

Apr-23-11 Karpov vs Csom, 1977
| |
| hstevens129: Continuations after 50.Nf5!
50...exf5 51.Qh2+ Kg8 52.Qg3+ Kh8 53.Qg7#
OR 50...Nf4 51.Rh7+ Nxh7 52.Qg7#
There are other variations but this is the basic idea of the fatal dual attack created by 50.Nf5! |

Mar-02-11 Reti vs A Nimzowitsch, 1925
| |
| hstevens129: Interesting point Nimzo makes about the superiority of 10.Bb5 in order to maintain the blockade. |
