Apr-24-08 Ponomariov vs Tomashevsky, 2007 
|
CaptGeorge: Yes, I would have played Rc8 to force rook exchange. White's pawns are better situated to win the endgame, so the faster we get there, the quicker I would win. |

|
CaptGeorge: Beautiful combo, I saw the rook move, but not whole combination. |

Jan-24-08 Fischer vs Spassky, 1992 
|
CaptGeorge: Nope. Saw first move, but not that continuation. I'd have brought K into play at e4 after d6 Ke6. |

Jan-14-08 T Lanchava vs W Spoelman, 2005 
|
CaptGeorge: I been working a lot lately.
Nice to be back with an easy problem for a change. Pretty straight forward, although I admit I had to look at it for a minute or two. |

Dec-28-07 C Bielicki vs Smyslov, 1964 
|
CaptGeorge: Well.. I saw
28. ... h3
29. Kf1 ?? Time to peek.

Beautiful! I just didn't see it. I gonna blame it on working too hard today and staying up too late. :) |

Dec-22-07 D H Campora vs I Morovic Fernandez, 1981 
|
CaptGeorge: Let's see...
Positions: about even
Black Attacks: Nc5xBd3
12. Bxh2 ... Looks good, but speculative for me. I don't see a forced mate or material gain here. ..humm... 12. Re3 ... Protect d3B & prepare kingside attack
I don't see a clear line, but this looks like my best ... |

Dec-20-07 G Ilivitsky vs Keres, 1955 
|
CaptGeorge: Looks like a K push to h4.
Then closing ranks with h3.
Not sure where to go next....oh well, I'm tired...time for a peek!
===
OK. I had the right start. Looks like Black will lose at least a rook. Keres just got it over quickly. |

Dec-19-07 Carlsen vs Short, 2004 
|
CaptGeorge: My line works! But, I see why Nigel moved: 53. ... Kd7
The game was lost, but he gave Magnus the chance to make a mistake by taking the rook too quickly. I re-learned something today:
"Always let your opponent make a mistake."

Dec-18-07 Dunbar vs Chawkin, 1925 
|
CaptGeorge: Easy One!
Assuming K hasn't moved,
0-0-0+ & free R! Should be enough to win. |

Dec-17-07 H Bohm vs R Hernandez Onna, 1979 
|
CaptGeorge: Ah yes! Qxg5! Easy Monday. Not a forced mate, but a game winning move for sure. |
