Dec-17-03 Harmonist vs Burn, 1887 
|
Andy White: they don't all lead to forced mates, but they almost always produce situations which are virtually certain wins (e.g. loss of queen, sometimes even loss of a rook). I do prefer the forced mates though |

Andy White: <Valid appeal to a authority does not constitute a fallacy and is in fact strong evidence to support an assertion or inductive argument.> To be fair, though, one could quite easily support almost any political or economic viewpoint with the opinions of someone considered to |

Nov-03-03 Karpov vs Anand, 2003 
|
Andy White: numlock31: both players would have been short on time as this game was played in a Rapid Chess tournament, hence the extended endgame. Presumably Karpov saw an opportunity to win on time by delaying the mate |

|
Andy White: hmm, 18...Bb5 does look like the right move. I can't see a simple attack for white after the line you proposed. |
