Oct-19-21 Barbero vs Larsen, 1991   Brenin: <al wazir>: Did you mean 33 Rh3 ? That seems work as well as 33 Ng6+.      Oct-19-21 Ronald Thomas vs R J Waters, 1968   Brenin: Roger Waters of Pink Floyd is G. R. Waters, not R. J.      Oct-18-21 John L Watson   Brenin: <DanQuigley>: In fact, it would have been possible for someone born in late 1951 to have played in the 1966 Under-14 Championship, since the Under-n tournament was (and maybe still is) open to those whose age (in whole years) was at most n. For example, in 1967, aged 21, I ...      Oct-18-21 J L Watson vs S Cronick, 1966    Brenin: Double checks are so satisfying to inflict on your opponent: here 18 Rxe7+ and 19 Qf7 mate.      Oct-17-21 Keres vs A Sakovski, 1936    Brenin: <Phony Benoni>: I believe that the Slovenian for "chess" is "šah". I don't understand the pun (if it is one), but I greatly enjoyed playing through the game.      Oct-17-21 Axel Smith vs Jansa, 2009    Brenin: Once again, a POTD in which the first few moves are fairly obvious: 19 Bxh7+, and if Kxh7 then 20 g6+, e.g. fxg6 21 hxg6+ Kg8 22 Rh8+ Kxh8 23 Qh6+ Kg8 24 Qh7+ Kf8 25 Qh8 mate. If 21 ... Kxg6 then 22 Rdg1+ Kf7 (Kh5 23 Rh5+ with mate) 23 Rh7 looks good for White, but much less ...      Oct-16-21 D Rombaldoni vs Iturrizaga Bonelli, 2008    Brenin: 17 Nxd6 Qxd6 18 e5 is easy to see, but wouldn't 18 ... Qd7, avoiding the pin on the N on f6, have been better a defence for Black, e.g. 19 Bxa6 Nxa6 20 exf6 Bh8 ? Enduring a P on f6 is uncomfortable for Black, but having a B there, as in the game, proved to be much worse.      Oct-15-21 Morozevich vs Leko, 2012    Brenin: <saturn2>: It may be that Qg7 is <inappropriate because of Bxc6>, but does Black have any reasonable alternatives? He might try to remove his Q from the firing line of the 7th rank (the threat is 28 Qh8+ Kf7 29 Rh7+ Nxh7 30 Qxh7+ Kf8 31 Qxc7) with a tempo by means of 27 ...      Oct-15-21 A Dueckstein vs Botvinnik, 1958    Brenin: A fine win, to go along with victories over Euwe and Spassky.      Oct-14-21 Suetin vs T Oim, 1972    Brenin: Thanks, <Atking>: after 23 bxc6 Re2 24 Bxd5+ Kf8 25 h3 Bxh3 26 Bf3 Bxf1 27 Bxh5 Rxd2 28 Kxf1 Rxb2 29 Rxa6 White has R+B+5P vs R+B+3P, and despite the opposite-coloured Bs the passed c- and d-pawns give him a clear win.
