| AlicesKnight: The late (great) Tony Miles would also smile at this one, given his notorious Karpov game. So too perhaps Adolf Anderssen, who opened 1.a3 a time or two against Morphy, with some success. |

Jun-24-25 J C Thompson vs Noteboom, 1929
| |
| AlicesKnight: Excellent horseplay. The remarkable threat after 18... Nxe4+, should White capture the N, is a fine point. |

Jun-24-25 S Atalik vs E Bagakis, 1994
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found Nxf7 - see other comments above. My trouble is that I look for the Q sac first ...... |

Mar-18-25 T Wippermann vs L D'Costa, 2005
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the game line - the old adage that 2 Bs are bettert than R+N seems to hold. |

Jul-30-24 J Enevoldsen vs Alekhine, 1939
| |
| AlicesKnight: A not unfamiliar position. ...Rh1+ forces a black Q entry with ...Ra1+ and a family fork in the offing. Alekhine uses the whole board. |

May-08-24 Ding Liren vs H Abdullah, 2009
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw Rxf6 and chose Rxd5 over the Q check as the gains seemed a bit more tangible but both looked promising. As <saturn2> says, how to win a won game? There is always work to do. |

May-01-24 J Christiansen vs R Junge, 2015
| |
| AlicesKnight: Saw this correctly. THe surrender of the Black R instead leads to another 'won game' that needs winning. |

Feb-29-24 S Guliev vs Bologan, 1993
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the right break-in with ...Rxf2 and following. The bishop crossfire is pleasing to see. |

Nov-17-23 Movsesian vs I Chirila, 2010
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the Rxf6 opener and a bit more but not the gameline tactics. A fascinating sequence for my patzer brain. |

Nov-17-23 M A Tabatabaei vs P A Gines Esteo, 2022
| |
| AlicesKnight: Found the Nf7 way in and some aftermath. Looking at the Black set-up, are you sure the game did not use random back lines???? |
