Mar-03-06 H Olafsson vs B Thorfinnsson, 2001 
| |
| starscream74: This game reminds me of a gem you'd find in an old Fred Reinfield book: short, easy to digest, but extremely educational.
In addition to the tactical fireworks at the end of this miniature is Olafsson's refutation of Thorfinnson's opening during moves 10-17. Switching from a ... |

| starscream74: <crookedbrd> Black can stop White's attack with 46... Ra7. White would then be forced to move the Queen and would lose the Bishop on 47.... exBf3. |

| starscream74: <Shams>Starscream wasn't a Dinobot he was the Decepticon Jet. I really wasn't into Transformers that much, I just find the name aesthetically pleasing. |

| |
| starscream74: <benveniste> I don't see how White is simply a pawn up. Did you plug that position into a computer and find the continuation? I'm at work and only have my feeble brain to analyse. To me, the position after 16...♗e6 looks very tactical and White could lose if he is ... |

Feb-15-05 E Poltoranov vs Stein, 1955
| |
| starscream74: <euripides>I agree with your assessment that this game was lost by White because of his early attack on Black's Queen side. White's 9th and 10th moves were also questionable. Why waste two tempos removing a Knight posted in a bad location? Black is eventually going to ... |
