Feb-04-24 A Donchenko vs Mishra, 2023
| |
| Skylark: Great turnaround in this game. 41. .. Rd1! is a bone breaker. Qxb3 Rd3+, or Qxd1 b2. |
|

|
Dec-22-23 A Tang vs Swiercz, 2023
| |
| Skylark: Indeed, 49. Rc6! is a pearl, Qe8+ pinning the d7 rook to the queen and forcing the king to march to its doom. |

Oct-22-23 V Durarbayli vs J Moussard, 2023
| |
| Skylark: I've been playing over games from the world cup, and this one is lovely. The two finishing shots in particular - Nxf4! and Nh5!! would make for a solid mating puzzle, and would have felt very good to land in-game. |

| Skylark: aldave: 21. Qg2+! |

Aug-29-11 A Masters vs A McHarg, 2009
| |
| Skylark: Nxg4 also wins I am pretty certain. In my lines I worked out that it would either lead to a direct mate (fxg4) or win through Kxg6 Nf6 (although I hadn't looked at .. Rh8). Unfortunately thinking this was winning, I didn't look for a simple mate in 2 (despite thinking that this was ... |

Aug-17-11 V Akobian vs The World, 2011
| |
| Skylark: Bleh. Are we going for Queen's Indian? Unless a Tarrasch or Semi-Tarrasch is on its way, count me out. |

Aug-13-11 Sasikiran vs V Laznicka, 2011
| |
| Skylark: Out of interest, I only stumbled across the pin on the g5 pawn possibility through the following variation: <65. Re7+ Kf6 66. Qf8+ Kg6 <67. Qg8+!!!!> Kh5 (67. .. Kf6 68. Qg7#, 67. .. Kh6 68. Qh7#) 68. Rh7+ Kg4 69. Rh4+!> Of course, this fantasy of mine was shattered when |

Aug-12-11 G Pirisi vs E Szalanczy, 1981
| |
| Skylark: <ajk68> The system involving 9. Bc4 and 11. h4 is the old line. I believe the new line goes 9. O-O-O and 10. Kb1 but I'm not a complete theory nut. |

|
Aug-11-11 Stahlberg vs Alekhine, 1930
| |
| Skylark: Here was my analysis when going about solving this problem: <Material is equal. White's pieces are awkwardly placed and lack has an appreciable pressure on White's position. The white rook at d1 and queen are both unprotected, and the white king is fairly hemped in without being ... |

Aug-10-11 Speelman vs Short, 1980

| Skylark: I got this one, blocking the Queen's defense of g7. |
