Nov-14-22 J Dobias vs J Schulz Sr, 1933
| |
| AlicesKnight: With a piece up, just capturing pawns will win the game, but ... Qxg2+ is more showy. After Rxg2, ...Rc1+ and the white Q can interpose to delay things by one move, after which Rg1 allows ... Bf3 finis. |

Nov-10-22 M Lu vs L Mkrtchian, 2022 
| |
| AlicesKnight: <Brenin><beatgiant> I hope White didn't win an Armageddon game in 20 moves in the last few months - it might have been the end of everything. |

| AlicesKnight: Sliced Salami ... |

Nov-08-22 D Citra vs R Vaishali, 2016
| |
| AlicesKnight: I doubt this "ancient Greek computer" (as it was headlined after initial analysis) contained any stock fish when recovered ... A pretty combination to enjoy too. |

Nov-08-22 Stoltz vs Flohr, 1931
| |
| AlicesKnight: ... Qxg1+ forces Kxg1, on which ...Rc1+ drives the K to g2 where the royal fork on f4 wins the Q and leaves Black with material to spare. |

Nov-07-22 Chandler vs C Ionescu, 1980
| |
| AlicesKnight: 36.Bxf7+ seems to be the way in; capture by Black loses the R and declining allows a mating squeeze. |

Nov-04-22 W G Doubleday vs Kudrin, 2004
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw the break-in with ... Rxh2+ and ... Rh8+ with ... Qe7. The exact follow-up needs more care than I gave it. |

Nov-01-22 N Ziane vs J Bell, 1996
| |
| AlicesKnight: Qxg7+ followed by Nd5 + regains the Q and forks the Rs, leaving white a R up. Enough to win. |

Oct-25-22 M Wahls vs S Bjarnason, 1985
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found Qa7+ and the main line after a few moments; the double check is vital to avoid Black's Q creating space (as <Mayankk> indicated and others have seen). Starting from move 18 is even better. |

Oct-24-22 R Vera vs G Garcia, 1992
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw Bc5+ clearing the d-file for the Rs gaze, followed by Ng8#. Would probably not have seen it after move 20, where <Brenin> is right and the full combination emerges. |
