Jun-22-11 Topalov vs Karpov, 1998    AccDrag: <LifeMasterAJ> You are confusing the epaulette checkmate with the swallow's tail checkmate.      Jun-15-11 O Engstrom vs A Koumtsis, 2007    AccDrag: Only once in a classical tournament game have I been fortunate enough to be able to play the Greek Gift "sacrifice." My opponent played a French, closing the Q-side too early with ...c5-c4, and had entombed his KB on b6. In today's puzzle, the sac doesn't even have to be calculated ...      May-17-11 O Chajes vs C Jaffe, 1911    AccDrag: <patzer2: Perhaps I should examine checks before captures in my position evaluation?> Absolutely. King safety and tactical shots are the main ways to win games. A check is the only truly forcing move. Every check must be looked at in any position. Also, analyzing checks first      Nov-23-10 Y Hou vs J Terao, 2010    AccDrag: M.Hassan: After Qh4, Bh8 allows Black's Q to protect h7.      Aug-09-10 V Palermo vs H Rossetto, 1965    AccDrag: Castle jumps horse!      Jun-28-10 R Vera vs A Lesiege, 2003    AccDrag: al wazir: If 25...Rxe1? 26.f6! mates. The point of 25...Rc8 is to give Black the defensive option of ...Qc5+ and ...Qf8 to defend g7. Unfortunately, it doesn't save the day. :-)      Mar-30-10 Kotov vs Smyslov, 1950    AccDrag: I think this is fairly hard for a Tuesday. If only because Black needs to realize White is still threatening mate after Black picks up the Q, and the second half of the combination involves cleaning up by picking up another piece and ending the mate threat.      Mar-23-10 Ivanchuk vs Kasparov, 1991    AccDrag: The position after Black's 36th is amazing. Kasparov must have been humiliated. Usually it's his opponent's pieces huddled on the back rank while his own pieces work the magic. Very smooth how Ivanchuk played g4 the moment Black could not take e.p. All Black's hopes were dashed, and      Mar-15-10 E Diemer vs Portz, 1948    AccDrag: Scissor me timbers!      Mar-12-10 Kasparov vs Ivanchuk, 1994    AccDrag: <Nut> 6...h6 allows 7.Bxf6 and 8.Bxc4, when White has an ideal P center "for free." 5...h6, though, is the very well respected Moscow variation. White can then play for a small but steady edge with 6.Bxf6, or play in gambit style with 6.Bh4 dxc4 7.e4 g5 8.Bg3 b5.      Mar-10-10 J Altusky vs Fischer, 1954     Mar-08-10 E Torre vs R Meulders, 1987     Mar-08-10 S Polgar vs B Larsen, 1995     Mar-05-10 S Brzozka vs Bronstein, 1963     Mar-04-10 L Gutman vs M Knezevic, 1984     Mar-03-10 Epishin vs S Polgar, 1991     Mar-02-10 Adams vs Lputian, 1995     Mar-01-10 J Arizmendi Martinez vs J M Gomez Esteban, 2006     Feb-25-10 Landa vs Nisipeanu, 2007     Feb-24-10 E Torre vs Karpov, 1977     Feb-23-10 Rublevsky vs Grischuk, 2007     Feb-23-10 Eric Schiller     Feb-21-10 Yudasin vs D Monokroussos, 2002     Feb-19-10 Karpov vs Sax, 1983     Feb-18-10 Tal vs Aronin, 1962     Feb-10-10 B Garfinkel vs F M Wren, 1933     Feb-10-10 Deep Junior vs Deep Fritz, 2001     Feb-01-10 Gelfand vs Leko, 2009     Jan-31-10 Morozevich vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2009     Jan-29-10 Gelfand vs Svidler, 1996     Jan-28-10 N Kosolapov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1936     Jan-27-10 Kasimdzhanov vs H Hofstra, 2004     Jan-25-10 R G Wade vs R Sanguineti, 1958     Jan-23-10 Jaime Llado Lumbera     Jan-23-10 Gligoric vs J Llado Lumbera, 1957    Jan-23-10 J Llado Lumbera vs G Peli, 1958    Jan-23-10 J Llado Lumbera vs Petrosian, 1958    Jan-23-10 J Llado Lumbera vs Evans, 1958    Jan-23-10 Krasenkow vs M Markovic, 1990     Jan-20-10 Adams vs Svidler, 2005     Jan-20-10 S Vlcek vs P Hanko, 2000    Jan-19-10 A Nimzowitsch vs J Perlis, 1905     Jan-19-10 A Greenfeld vs J Redmond, 2008     Jan-18-10 H H Cole vs A Tulip, 1946     Jan-15-10 Carlsen vs I A Abusdal, 2003     Jan-07-10 C Lutz vs J Balcerak, 2000     Dec-31-09 E Nuenchert vs A Glaser, 2000     Dec-23-09 Miles vs M Nedobora, 1994     Dec-22-09 J Bethmann vs P Leisebein, 1990     Dec-09-09 Spielmann vs B Hoenlinger, 1929     Dec-08-09 Botvinnik vs Kotov, 1946     Dec-06-09 A Huzman vs Kasparov, 2003     Dec-03-09 Kamsky vs Leko, 2008     Nov-19-09 Menchik vs F Schubert, 1928     Nov-16-09 L Mkrtchian vs V Golubenko, 2008     Nov-12-09 Van Essen vs C Woskoff, 1931     Nov-04-09 Charousek vs J Wollner, 1893     Oct-31-09 Blackburne vs W John, 1907    Oct-31-09 W Paulsen vs von Gottschall, 1892     Oct-31-09 Mason vs S Rosenthal, 1883    Oct-31-09 V Green vs Steinitz, 1864     Oct-31-09 Saumchurn vs Cochrane, 1856    Oct-29-09 R Rodriguez vs Van der Wiel, 1982     May-14-09 J Esser vs Breyer, 1916     Dec-05-08 Dominguez Perez vs Buhmann, 2008     Nov-11-08 Lasker vs S Polner, 1889     Oct-28-08 P Lyrberg vs R Irzhanov, 1992     Oct-27-08 Lasker / Maroczy vs NN, 1900     Oct-23-08 H Hasan vs M F Littleton, 1972    Sep-10-08 Petrosian vs A Matanovic, 1959     Sep-03-08 K Opocensky vs Alekhine, 1925     Aug-29-08 Alekhine vs Hoelscher, 1933     Aug-27-08 Vasiukov vs Taimanov, 1965     Aug-25-08 P Zilles vs V Kutsankov, 2005     Aug-19-08 Burgess vs R Miller, 1974     Aug-18-08 N Elisons vs A Nimzowitsch, 1915     Aug-13-08 Tal vs Taimanov, 1954     Aug-11-08 I Kan vs A Bannik, 1952     Aug-07-08 E Agrest vs Ponomariov, 2003     Aug-07-08 A Lukin vs G Timoscenko, 1979     Aug-05-08 Motylev vs A Czebe, 2008     Aug-01-08 B Abramovic vs Damljanovic, 1995     Jul-30-08 N Ziane vs J Bell, 1996     Jul-30-08 J Kourek vs P Chrz, 1994     Jul-29-08 Kotronias vs D King, 1990     Jul-28-08 Kibitzer's Café     Jul-25-08 L Y Hsu vs Nunn, 1992     Jul-24-08 M Marks vs H Meyer, 1871     Jul-24-08 Onischuk vs Romanishin, 2003     Jul-22-08 Steinitz vs Rock, 1863     Jul-21-08 Iverhov vs Ilianako, 1957     Jul-18-08 Bologan vs B Redon, 1994     Jul-15-08 G Lebredo Zaragoitia vs Petrosian, 1978     Jul-11-08 Speelman vs Sax, 1988     Jul-09-08 Salov vs J Horvath, 1983     Jul-08-08 R Byrne vs J Tarjan, 1975     Jul-07-08 I Khamrakulova vs E Ubiennykh, 2001     Jul-03-08 A Strikovic vs B Kurajica, 1994     Jun-22-08 I Bilek vs A Ornstein, 1976     Jun-01-08 E Mortensen vs L Karlsson, 1988     May-28-08 Janowski vs Schlechter, 1899     Jan-29-08 G Kuzmin vs E Torre, 1981     Dec-12-07 W Pollock vs E Hall, 1890
