Aug-17-07 I Madl vs Chiburdanidze, 2000 
|
CHEG: I saw Qxc3 but I couldn't figure out why white's king couldn't escape to c3 after the bishop gave check....then I remembered there's a pawn there! That's what I get for not having a board in front of me> |

|
CHEG: Qh4 is the elgant solution, better defense would follow 27 h3 Qg3 28 Kg1 Qh2+ 29 Ke1 and the king flees to the middle of the board. Not a good situation but at least not mate in two. |

May-09-06 Botvinnik vs Smyslov, 1958 
|
CHEG: Rd2 is still tricky.
If
26...Rd2 27 Be6+ Kg7 28 Qxe5+ Rf6 29 R3e2 and no threat of checkmate? However
26...Rd2 27 Be6+ Rf7 28 R3e2 Rxe2 29 Qd8+ Kg8 30 Bd6 blocking mate but giving up too much material for a win (Qd2) |

|
CHEG: <Frankly> Frankly, I saw the same move (24 Nf6). Unfortunately if 24 Nf6 then 24 ... exf6 25 Qxf6+ Kf8 and the king has e7 if Qh8+ |

|
CHEG: Any thoughts how black can proceed after
32 Qxf7 Qxf7
33 Ra1
Black is up a queen for a rook but this doesn't seem like an easy win for black. (Remember Q vs. R endgames are crazy hard) |
