Fischerfriend: 19..RxB is a beautiful sacrifice of the exchange. All that follows is exemplary too! |

Thanks! |

Fischerfriend: 1-0 is absurd.
Should probably be
0-1 |

Aug-27-23 V Ciocaltea vs E Grumer, 1972
|
Fischerfriend: 33.d6+ was a bad move, although it won quickly!
Just 33..Rd6: and B is better.
By 33.Qe7+ W would've won convincingly. |

|
Fischerfriend: Amazing game. W just put his attacking pieces at the right places. B resigned without a fight, as he couldn't put up any more resistance! |

May-19-23 Pigusov vs G Soppe, 2002

Fischerfriend: Black has deserved the draw at full.
Could even have played on because after
28..Rc2 he wins back the sacrificed pawn. |

May-29-22 Halprin vs Pillsbury, 1900 
|
Fischerfriend: Early improvement:
After 14.b6 there's no need to take the b pawn.
Black has the so desired castling within reach and had better play:
14..0-0!
There might follow:
- 15.ba b6 followed by Bb7 and pawn a7 is nothing to be afraid of for Black
- 15.Ra7: Rb8 and there's no |

Mar-27-22 J Polgar vs M Sharif, 1989 
|
Fischerfriend: It's funny to realise that Black could've taken on e4 with great effect 3 moves earlier.
The sacrificed N is won back very soon, after which black has the better game.
9..Ne4:! with possible variations:
10.Ne4: Qe7 and now
- 11.Qd3 Bf5 12.Nd6+ cd 13.Qf5: Qe3:+
- 11.Qc2 ... |
