Jun-23-20 I Rabinovich vs V Goglidze, 1939 
|
SpamIAm: <Brenin>, in your second line after 19.Nxg7 Bxc4 20.Qxf6, 20...Bxf1? is a bit hasty. Instead 20...Qe7 seems to defend against the threats and black can now win the exchange with ...Bxf1 at his leisure. |

Jun-18-20 P Acs vs V Chuchelov, 2007 
|
SpamIAm: Yikes, am I a fish. After 30.Kd1 Qb3+ 31.Kc1 Bxe1 32.Qxe1 Nxd3+ forking king and queen is even simpler. Methinks that white was quite correct to resign when he did. |

Jun-08-20 D Byrne vs W Addison, 1969 
|
SpamIAm: Correction- in my earlier post I misidentified white- it's Donald Byrne, Robert Byrne's younger brother. He and Addison were roughly the same strength chesswise. |

May-26-20 Mamedyarov vs A Tasan, 2002 
|
SpamIAm: <An Englishman>, 18...Bc6 would've lost a pawn to 19.Bxf7+! Kxf7 20.Qxd8 R(a8)xd8 21.Nxa5. Although after 21...Bf3 black has some compensation. |

May-19-20 V Malaniuk vs Van der Sterren, 1983 
|
SpamIAm: <zb2cr> Better yet, 35...c4 36. bxc4 Bxc4 37.Qb4+ winning a whole bishop. |

May-15-20 R Grants vs Tal, 1965 
|
SpamIAm: <carpovius>, after your suggested 35.Qg3? black has better than 35...Be5?, namely both 35...Qxg3+ 36.Kxg3 Rxf1 and even better 35...Rxf1+ 36.Kxf1 Qxg3. |

May-04-20 Schiffers vs G Janny, 1898 
|
SpamIAm: Schiffers was a respected master in his day and he plays 8.Kg3.
Hmmm. o_O |

May-01-20 I Sokolov vs S Williams, 2006 
|
SpamIAm: <newzild>, in your line with 37...Qxb5 what about 38.Qa8+ Kh7 39. Qe4+ winning the rook? |
