Dec-03-12 T Binham vs P Horn, 1998    Crispy Seagull: The Q sac a move or two before the puzzle position is gorgeous. Even if the queen is refused, no matter whether the white pawn is taken or the king tries to escape, it's still mate in 2-3 thanks to the knight and the rooks. Very nice.      Nov-26-12 E Karahaliou vs M Fragouli, 1997    Crispy Seagull: I like Mondays.      Oct-23-12 C van den Berg vs J H Donner, 1963    Crispy Seagull: Loose queen! ...Rxf1+ Kxf1 Bxg2+ Kxg2 Qxb6 Black's got a queen for a rook and shouldn't have too tough a time mopping up.      Oct-22-12 J Rowson vs A Ledger, 1995    Crispy Seagull: I went the Rg6+ route.      Oct-02-12 W Peckford vs Z Vranesic, 1993    Crispy Seagull: i worked it out all the way to the game's end position, and I agree that white has a superior and winning position, but I don't think it's as cut and dry as a simple resignation. I think a mate from that position is harder than it looks.      Oct-01-12 M Chommyyev vs T L Petrosian, 2012    Crispy Seagull: No checkmate today it seems, but win the exchange by capturing the rook on g2 with a forcing check and follow with a royal fork with Ne3. Not your typical Monday.      Sep-17-12 Motylev vs P Jirovsky, 1998    Crispy Seagull: 25... Kd8?? Can anyone explain what the heck that might have been about? I know White's got a couple rooks aiming at his face but he abandons the rook...      Sep-12-12 E Kristiansen vs Kupreichik, 2012    Crispy Seagull: Note to self for Thursday: get the bishop.      Sep-11-12 N Pogonina vs C Roelli, 1998    Crispy Seagull: Mine was not the game continuation, but I spotted a different way to win a bishop. It's not as good however, since it leaves a rook on the seventh and drops a pawn, leaving White up just a bishop instead of a bishop AND a pawn. 27. Rxc8+ Kxc8 28. Bxd7+ Kxd7 29. Bxf6 At ...      Sep-04-12 J Kalish vs E Dunphy, 1966    Crispy Seagull: I looked for a while at Ng5, but for the life of me couldn't figure it out all the way. The king kept slipping away after ...Re8. Totally missed RxB to keep the threat alive. In a game I probably would have opted for the rook lift 18. Rh3 and a threat of some checks to ...      Sep-03-12 J Gurczak vs R Mercer, 2011     Sep-02-12 Tseshkovsky vs Marjanovic, 1982     Aug-29-12 Rossolimo vs C Kottnauer, 1948     Aug-23-12 H Murphy vs A Kinsman, 1981     Aug-20-12 Mikhalevski vs R Gardner, 2012     Aug-17-12 Karjakin vs E Alekseev, 2007     Aug-15-12 Z Tan vs Cmilyte, 2011     Aug-02-12 Polgar vs N Gaprindashvili, 1990     Aug-01-12 de Firmian vs A Rustemov, 1999     Jul-31-12 Simagin vs Kholmov, 1966     Jul-30-12 L Ootes vs K Yamada, 2011     Jul-27-12 Geller vs Dorfman, 1976     Jul-18-12 Tal vs B Williams, 1974     Jul-06-12 Karpov vs Timman, 1986     Jun-28-12 F Lida Garcia vs Shulman, 2003     Jun-22-12 Romanishin vs Marjanovic, 1972     Jun-20-12 Tal vs R Mascarinas, 1981     Jun-12-12 D Tomic vs F Winzbeck, 1993     Jun-04-12 S Sery vs Z Vecsey, 1921     May-25-12 Anand - Gelfand World Championship Match (2012)     May-16-12 C T Goering vs E Schallopp, 1877     May-10-12 Kramnik vs Anand, 2008     May-08-12 Steinitz vs Chigorin, 1892     May-07-12 Petrosian vs Spassky, 1966     Apr-17-12 F N Stephenson vs J Penrose, 1968     Apr-11-12 Bacrot vs E Relange, 2006     Mar-28-12 C Randlov vs D Flynn, 2012     Mar-27-12 G Fontein vs Euwe, 1939     Mar-22-12 A Rakhmanov vs Y Ginzburg, 2010     Mar-17-12 Vitacek vs Duras, 1900     Mar-16-12 V Liberzon vs I Radulov, 1968     Mar-13-12 F Englund vs Janowski, 1913     Mar-12-12 P Ricardi vs G Milos, 2001     Mar-11-12 Keene vs Miles, 1976     Mar-08-12 Gligoric vs C Pritchett, 1967     Mar-07-12 S Zaksaite vs T Chistiakova, 2001     Mar-01-12 Suba vs L M Garcia Lopez, 1994     Feb-27-12 Pillsbury vs Fernandez, 1900     Feb-25-12 D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956     Feb-23-12 D Flynn vs F Scheckenbach, 2012     Feb-18-12 I Sokolov vs G Pap, 2012     Feb-16-12 Chigorin vs J Kotrc, 1896     Feb-14-12 J L Hammer vs Carlsen, 2003     Feb-10-12 A A Lopez vs E Schiller, 2012     Feb-09-12 Kibitzer's Café     Feb-09-12 Giri vs Aronian, 2012     Feb-08-12 V Laznicka vs K Kulaots, 2012     Feb-06-12 Adams vs N Zhukova, 2012     Dec-27-11 J Mieses vs M Kann, 1885
