| JureIvanusic: How the West was won.. :)
interesting game, white's interesting attack comes to nothing because of black's brilliant defence. |

Aug-01-13 Topalov vs Kramnik, 2008
| |
| JureIvanusic: Funny.. If the white's pawn would be on a5 instead of a4, then black could try with 45... Rxg2+, which could lead to a stalemate (f.e.: 46. Kxg2 Qg6+ 47. Kh1 Qxe6 48. Rb8+ Nxb8 49. Rxb8+ Ka7 50. e8=Q Qd5+ 51. Kg1 Qg2+ 52. Kxg2 stalemate). |

| JureIvanusic: If 18... exf3, then 19. Rfe1+ Be6, 20. axb7 Rd8 21. Bxc6+ Nd7 (all forced) and with 22. Bc5! white would achieve a winning position. (22.... Bb8 23. Rd3 with an idea of Rde3 or 22... Bxc5 23. Rxd7 Ba7 24. Rxc7+ Kf8 and white has options 25. Bxf3 or 25. Bd5 to which the only ... |

Jul-28-13 A Bisguier vs J Penrose, 1950
| |
| JureIvanusic: <RookFile>! It looks like that after 22....gxf5 23. gxf5 Bf8 (which is the best, according to software) and then after 24. Nh4, best reply for black is indeed 24.... Be8, but after 25. Qh5, Re7 is almost forced (25... Ra7 loses to 26. Bxg7+) and white can now play an ... |
