Jan-20-20 Capablanca vs R Illa, 1911 
| |
| RKnight: 11. Qb7 at first glance seems like a silly move, but it virtually forces the trade of R+B+B for Q and wins the game. Capa was good at tactics too, not just at endgames. |

Jan-01-20 Flohr vs I Koenig, 1929
| |
| RKnight: After working hard to make 40. Rc7 work, I too was "Flohred" by the quicker 40. Bxe5. |
|
|
|
Dec-19-19 Rubinstein vs Hromadka, 1912
| |
| RKnight: One could say that Karel found himself in a "Bad Pisityan" after 34. Bxe5, so he resigned. |
|
|
|
Dec-13-19 J Klinger vs W Arencibia Rodriguez, 1986
| |
| RKnight: Darn. I was proud of getting this one, and not just 33...h3+ but the follow-up. Then I read the comments on how obvious and simple it was :-( C'est la vie. |

Sep-15-19 R H Steinmeyer vs H Berliner, 1959
| |
| RKnight: <erniecohen> 34...bxf4 seems more like a transposition that a cook. I'd like to pay tribute to Hans Berliner, as <landshark> said, one of the greatest correspondence players. Hans and I were colleagues at the university in the 1980's and 1990's, while he built Hitech, ... |

Jul-12-19 Gossip vs Tarrasch, 1889
| |
| RKnight: Not too much to Gossip about; he just gave away the store. |
|
|
|
Jul-11-19 L Gutman vs Kholmov, 1975
| |
| RKnight: Good puzzle, Gutman used every one of his pieces. I didn't solve it because I failed to see the in-retrospect-obvious 26. Bh6+ |
|
|
|
Jul-08-19 A Franck vs Portisch, 1958
| |
| RKnight: OK, OK, not Monday, but it's a great midweek puzzle. I easily found the game line, but didn't really solve it, as that needs a convincing response to 26. Kb3. <agb2002> found it. I really like his (her) analyses when posted. |

|
Jun-15-19 Nakamura vs R Patterson, 2001
| |
| RKnight: In the 80's I played in the World Open and was in a similar situation as Roger, up the exchange but down two connected passed paws (well, Naka is up three connected passed pawns, but who's counting). I lost, but learned; very hard to stop such pawns. |

|
May-29-19 Anand vs H Wegner, 1987
| |
| RKnight: Lest one thinks resigning might have been premature, consider: 23...Nf4 24. Qxf7 Rg8 25. Rg7 with mate to follow |
