Apr-28-18 US Championship (Women) (2018)

Sololoy: There are few situations that make me overcome my shyness in writing in a foreign language... All my support to Nazi Paikidze. I didn't know about her... Besides her beauty and chess ability, she happens to have more stamina than many men around. Congratulations Nazi! |

Feb-26-18 A Esipenko vs J Salomon, 2018 
|
Sololoy: Because it follows 25 ... Qh1+ 26 bxh1 rxb++ |

Jan-05-15 I A Zaitsev vs Y Sakharov, 1969 
|
Sololoy: joupajou: Nd5 is good enough, 'cause it gets a minor piece anyway! |

Oct-28-12 Unzicker vs Uhlmann, 1962 
|
Sololoy: Maybe the last chance for white was 27 Qf5+ and Qxf5, 28 Nxf5 and Black can't go with Nxe1 because of 29 Ne7+ and 30 Ng8 |

Apr-08-11 Motylev vs A Iljushin, 2000 
|
Sololoy: The winning move 38 Bh7+ could have been done earlier: 34 Bh7+. Sometimes good players do not have all the variations in mind and they go constructing them as they play. |

Dec-17-10 K Hulak vs D Barlov, 1987 
|
Sololoy: Following the game with exchange of rocks until move 30, the line should be: 31 Qd6 (heading for e7 and mate on the 7th row)
a).-
31 .. Qc6 then
32 Qxb8+ and so on
b).-
31 .. Qf8 then
32 Qxe6+ Kh8
33 Qe5+ Kg8
34 Kxg2
leads to the position given by <gofer> but ... |

Oct-29-10 A Miatello vs G Gaehwiler, 2010 
|
Sololoy: "<Once>: upon a time, in a land forever at war, there was a king who hid behind a wall." I really disfruted reading your post. I could imagine how much you must enjoy writing. It is nice. Hope you go on writing like that from time to time. |

Feb-13-10 K V Shantharam vs Kaidanov, 1991 
|
Sololoy: I saw 30 Rxc5 treating Rh5#; if 30... Bxc5 then 31 Qxf6 leads to mate. I could not follow other blocking pawn's moves, like 30... e5 or f5. Rxc6 followed by Qxe7 is unclear to me... |

Feb-04-10 J Tisdall vs P Lyrberg, 1994 
|
Sololoy: It seems that black missed a mate in 1 many times, but the correct moves around move 30 should be: 30 Bf1 (preventing # on g2) Ne6 (defending the rook)
31 Bc3 (keeping the bishop)
until move 36 where the lsb goes from f1 to d3 (not from c4 to d3) |

Dec-14-09 Gligoric vs Matulovic, 1967 
|
Sololoy: After 40 Bxe6+ Ke7, Gligoric missed a mate in 3:
41 Bg8+ (the bishop covers f7) Kd1
42 Qg5+ Rf6 and
43 Qxf6# |
