Dec-21-21 A Korobov vs N Benmesbah, 2021

| The17thPawn: WIM versus strong GM turned quickly into a mismatch. |

| |
| The17thPawn: <Teyss> - My apologies 24....,exd3 is of course correct. Posting in the early A.M. is always risky for me. |

| The17thPawn: The opera ain't over but the fat lady is warming up backstage. |

Mar-19-21 P Haba vs P Nikolic, 2005
| |
| The17thPawn: <Brenin> - Nicely spotted! The best I could do was to lose significant material with black ending down an exchange and 3 pawns. It's not mate but black can only kick and scream at that point. Seems my willingness to fight out-strips my calculating ability once again. |

Feb-24-21 H Perez Garcia vs G Welling, 1987
| |
| The17thPawn: <PhilFeeley> - My guess is 25. Qc4 looks difficult to meet, but black is floundering regardless. |

Feb-21-21 Mecking vs S Mareco, 2011
| |
| The17thPawn: Yawn!!! Getting so the only interesting part of the puzzle of the day is determining how recently it was used as an easier puzzle. |

Jan-30-21 C Zuidema vs Sosonko, 1976
| |
| The17thPawn: Frankly found this more straight forward than Friday's puzzle. Denuding the white kings pawn cover with all pieces pointed at the stranded king and a killer pawn on the second rank begs for the sack. |

| The17thPawn: <Tabanus> - Thanks for setting me straight. |

Jan-17-21 S Ionov vs A Yashtylov, 2000
| |
| The17thPawn: I tried 21.Bc3 in my preferred line but white still gets butchered. Still, if I can see the starting sequence in less than a minute this is probably questionable Sunday material. |

| The17thPawn: Does anyone know if CG wiil upload the games from the 2020 Russian Championship? I was told by a friend of mine to check out Dubov vs. Karjakin final round, but can't find the game on this site. |
