| Pawn Slayer: Didn't see it. I went 40....a4, which i still think wins. |

Oct-21-23 Areshchenko vs Sutovsky, 2005

Aug-30-23 G Fuster vs J Durao, 1958
| |
| Pawn Slayer: 28.....Rxe3 screams at you.
White can't take the queen on c7 because of the discovered check, so has to play 29 Qxe3 and after 29....Bxe3+, white is completely busted. |

Aug-06-23 E Meduna vs V Inkiov, 1988
| |
| Pawn Slayer: I saw the game line until black's 43rd move.
Instead of 43...Nf2+, I chose 43 ...Rxd3.
White's best appears to be 44 Rxh4 Rxd4 45 cxd4 Bc8 followed by Bf5, when white's rook would appear helpless against the B,N and 2 passed pawns.
Does that win or has white a reply? |

Nov-20-22 Ivanchuk vs L Bruzon Batista, 2005
| |
| Pawn Slayer: I'm surprised Stockfish chooses Qxe1+. It wins, but I think R(a)-c6 is at least as strong. |

Sep-27-22 S Ernst vs A Baldus, 2001
| |
| Pawn Slayer: I went 34Nf6+ Kxg7 35 Nd5 and didn't look any further as it wins outright, with white having Q, B and N v 2 Rs. Perhaps I should have remembered Fischer's famous maxim: "If you see a good move, don't play it: there might be a better one". |
