Sep-07-21 B Lalic vs Kengis, 1997    ClassZPlaya: <Brenin>: I was also looking at that possible line, but I was thinking that after 18 ... Bxf4 19. Rxd7 Bd5 seems to hold onto the extra piece.      Jul-26-21 Xiong vs So, 2017    ClassZPlaya: After 21. ... Nxf2 I would have tried 22. Nxa6 Nxe4 23. Nxc5 Nxc5 24. Rxc4 Na6 25. c7 Rbc8 26. Rac1 and with 2 passed pawns for the Knight I think White has good chances to hold the game.      May-06-21 Pruijssers vs Cuenca Jimenez, 2014    ClassZPlaya: Not that it should ultimately change the result but I don't understand why White didn't try 23. e6! instead of 23. Qh5 in the game continuation. If 23. e6 Qxd6 24. Qxc6 is still fighting and 24. Qd8 allows 24. ... exf7. If White is not planning to make use of this resource then ...      Feb-22-21 Zilberman vs Sutovsky, 1994    ClassZPlaya: Only gave myself partial credit today as I came up with 27 ... Rd1+; 28. Rxd1 Qxc6; 29. f3 Qxf3 missing 30. Qb8+ Kg7; 31. Bh6+ Kxh6; 32. Qf4+      Dec-13-19 J Klinger vs Arencibia Rodriguez, 1986    ClassZPlaya: 32. Rc3 looks so good on the surface - it almost wins a Queen by force. Looking deeper it loses by force! 32. Bxh4 Rg8+ 33. Bg3 Rg4 34. Rc3 Qxd4 35. Qc2 Qd2+ 36. Qxd2 Bxd2 leaves Black with a small edge but I think White should be able to hold this.      Dec-06-19 Deac vs N Berry, 2017    ClassZPlaya: Found 24. Qxd5 for White very quickly, but Black need not lose so much material as in the game: 24. Qxd5 Qxd5 25. Rxd5 Ree8 escapes with the loss of just a pawn, although White should have good winning chances.      Dec-02-19 L Didier vs Marshall, 1900    ClassZPlaya: Nice gem by Marshall. White needed to trade Queens at move 23 .. after 23 Qg5 f3! White appears to be lost.      Oct-31-19 Short vs H Melkumyan, 2015    ClassZPlaya: I chose 45. ... Rd7 which also wins, but is not the best move.      Jul-20-18 Flohr vs Capablanca, 1936    ClassZPlaya: Found the main line and solved the puzzle, but I was impressed by how much play Black had left in the position. Flohr needed to continually play accurately to bring home the win.      May-22-18 Teichmann vs Chigorin, 1905    ClassZPlaya: <Dubitando> In your line 23. Rf8 is not mate; Black has 23. ... Bxf8 <Ilkka Salonen> on 21. .. Kg8 White has 22. Bd1! threatening 23. Bb3+ The only defense appears to be 22. ... Re3 24. Bxe3 Kg7 when Black is down a Rook instead of a Bishop as in the game line.
