| Autoreparaturwerkbau: <31.♕e1??> should be met with 31...Rxc4
[DIAGRAM]
which is game-over, black wins.
Maybe it is error in the text and <31.♕c1> was really played which makes much more sense and is compatible with the remainder of the game.

| Autoreparaturwerkbau: White missed mate-in-3 on move 18.
18.?
[DIAGRAM] Solution: 18.Qxf7+ Qxf7

and now 19.O-O-O+ Kc7 20.Bd8#

Aug-25-22 S Vokarev vs G Prakken, 2000
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: <mel gibson & Teyss> Indeed the main line up to 24.♘f3 has no reasonable branches which means that the whole sequence from 18.♕xd4
[DIAGRAM]
to 24.♘f3
[DIAGRAM]
is more or less forced (18.♕xd4 ♕xd4 19.♘xd4 e5 20.♗g6 ♖b8 21.♖xe5 ♘g4 ... |

Aug-16-22 Bogoljubov vs Yates, 1925
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: <Honza Cervenka: It was better to play 19.g5> Certainly, though the position after that was still (barely, to be honest) playable. The terminal game-over move was 22.b4??
[DIAGRAM]
which allows infiltration of bishop to a4 controlling a4-d1 diagonal, which ... |

Jul-18-22 E Schmidt vs C Hartlaub, 1899
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: Yes, it is 19 th century game, but there are surprisingly many errors for such a short game (15 moves). 1...e5?! Englund gambit - it is considered weak; Boris Avrukh writes that 1...e5 "seems to me the worst possible reply to White's first move". It is almost never seen |

Jul-18-22 Damljanovic vs P Popovic, 1997
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: <<gawain> White can save the queen only by giving up a bishop. Hopeless.> Amazingly, white can't save queen even after giving up a bishop. Namely, after giving up bishop 39.♗f7+ ♕xf7
[DIAGRAM] white needs to run queen again 40.♕h6 ♗g7 41.♕h4 ... |

| Autoreparaturwerkbau: Thursday/Friday puzzle.
46...? Black to draw.

Jul-04-22 R Hodgson vs F K Esling, 1893
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: <optimal play: 16.♗xa6! Now it’s payback time.> Certainly it is. Though, to be honest, had black played 16...♘c5, he could offer much more resistance. Knight on ♘c5 singlehandedly guards queenside and allows time for black to develop kingside ... |

Jun-16-22 H Heinicke vs Gilg, 1940
| |
| Autoreparaturwerkbau: Puzzle worthy of Thursday. Black to play.
[DIAGRAM] The first few moves are relatively straight-forward. 32...♖xg3+ 33. ♔f1 ♕h3+ 34. ♔e2 that leads us to classic crossroad situation, how to proceed with fierce attack. True puzzle starts here, ... |
