Feb-25-12 A Lastin vs Bareev, 2004 
| |
| Bonifratz: I'm surprised that nobody seems to have talked about the possibility of <24... Qxd6> (which was my candidate). This is somewhat more complicated, but should also win. Stockfish showed me <24... Qxd6 25. Bxd6 Bc6 26. Qd4 Rxd6 27. Qf4 Ne4 28. Qxf3 Rd2 29. Ba4 Nxg3 30. Bxc6 ... |

Jan-31-12 Y Hou vs J Polgar, 2012
| |
| Bonifratz: What I like about this game is how Hou Yifan seems to continually be one step ahead of Judit Polgár. And the final move is very pretty. |

| Bonifratz: Beautiful finish. 61.? might make for a good Wednesday or Thursday puzzle some time in the future. |

Jul-12-11 Smejkal vs Adorjan, 1972
| |
| Bonifratz: I saw the winning move and 33. Qh4# immediately, but it took me a second or two to see 33. Qxc3, because I was too focused on finding a mate.
<chesskidnate> Good that you saw 33. Qh4# eventually, as <33.Rh1+> is hardly legal. :) |

Jun-22-11 Topalov vs Karpov, 1998
| |
| Bonifratz: I'm happy to say I not only saw the 51... Kxh8 52. Qh2+ line, but also the mate in the other variation, namely 51... Kg7 52. Qd7+ Qe/f7 53. Qxe/f7+ Kxh8 54. Qh7#. But I think this was easier than most Wednesdays, since the starting point was obvious. |
