May-12-11 Denker vs H Avram, 1940

| Veroth: Bah JimFromProvidence beat me to it. Still, it's nice to know that given 20+ trial and error approaches, I found something Rybka likes. ;) |

Mar-08-10 E Torre vs R Meulders, 1987
| |
| Veroth: I was with Benjinathan - could not see the advantage (missed that the white king could get to the c-pawn first), so was content with Qxa6. |

| |
| Veroth: Toughest Monday puzzle I've seen yet. Could not see how it was winning if black declined the bishop. |

| Veroth: Heart-attacks while resting/asleep CAN be a symptom of EPO use. There were documented cases of cyclists dying in their sleep back when EPO use was first on the rise. Obviously, I have no idea what happened to Jarque, and I certainly hope it was not drugs. |

| Veroth: I really expected black to answer with 21 ... Qf4. Funny how vital the white rook on A4 is to the puzzle.... |

Mar-30-07 D Vasiesiu vs G Szabo, 2001
| |
| Veroth: One line to consider in response to Nd5 is Rxb2. Kxb2 allows Qb7! and Qb5. While this saves the queen, I'm not convinced that black saves his king this way. Of course, white could and probably should answer Rxb2 with Ka1. Any further checks by the rook will allow immediate ... |
