Dec-03-23 L Remlinger vs J Manion, 1992
| |
| ASchultz: This popped up on Chessable's "checkmate patterns manual" course, for the end bit, which is rather nice. I remember how b6 might be the death knell for the ...g6 Benko, but apparently White accepting the pawn gives a nice edge now. Interesting how times changed. Remlinger's buildup |

| |
| ASchultz: I followed this after clicking on Burden's loss against Christiansen. It's good to see he had a good moment apart from that. |

| ASchultz: I don't miss many of my chess books, but I do miss his How to Cheat at Chess. I note it's been referenced two times in the topic. The quiz at the end is great. Rot13: Lbh trg n obahf cbvag sbe ybbxvat ng gur nafjref orsber lbh svavfurq gur dhvm. |

May-14-23 Andras Adorjan
| |
| ASchultz: RIP. I remember reading his name in lots of chess magazines, then seeing him on YouTube clips of The Master Game. As for Adorjan puns, I'm pretty sure it's AD-or-Yan, but "adorin'/adoring seems good. |

| ASchultz: I just ran across a game of his as black against Ben Finegold on chessable. And I realized I hadn't seen his name pop up, so I came over to check and saw the news. I don't log in here as much as I used to, but I appreciated his fun kibitzing very much -- as well as his puzzle of ... |

| ASchultz: A tough puzzle indeed. The endgame after is quite interesting as well. |

Dec-08-21 Carlsen vs S Gabrielsen, 2003
| |
| ASchultz: @OhioChessFan it's probably more popular in the UK where it was originally published. I was fortunate enough to be exposed to it when I was young. I do recommend it. It's not very long, and I enjoyed rereading it as an adult. |

Apr-15-21 Van Wely vs Golubev, 1999
| |
| ASchultz: @al wazir
Stockfish gave me h5 Re5 and if hxg6, Kxg6 and Black can now swing the rook to f5. White has an advantage, but it's not as crushing. This isn't something I would've seen, either! I myself was worried Black could play the rooks to e6 and f6 after an immediate Kg2 and play |

Jul-06-20 Denker vs D MacMurray, 1932
| |
| ASchultz: This one made me smile because I looked at Qxc6 for queen/rook sac monday but wondered if Black had any checks. Qg5 counts.
Then I looked for the rook sac. Bingo! |
