Sep-09-16 Shankland vs S P Sethuraman, 2016
| |
| Albums Dummyflap: If 31...Nc4, White has a draw after sacrificing the queen: 32. Bxc4 pxc4 33.Qxc4 Rd2 34.Bxd2 Rxd2 35.Kxd2 Qxc4 36.Rb7+ Alas, ...Qc4# never came to fruition.
Of course 30...Nc4 (threatening nasty checks idea Rd2 twice mate should the White queen move) or 30 or 31...Bxf4 ... |

Mar-28-16 Van Wely vs Giri, 2016
| |
| Albums Dummyflap: Position after 18 moves is fine but very difficult for humans with White (Rc1, Re1, Qb3, then prepare d5 or target b7 are ideas). This was Giri's last win in a classical game (now 20 games of draws by the Artist having completed the Candidates). Draw in peace. |
