Jan-04-16 A Tate vs L Colompar, 2013 
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: That's mate in 2: 37.Re8+ Rc8 38.Qc7#. |
|
|
|
Feb-19-13 G Kanefsck vs R Cristobal, 1999
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: If 19...Rf8 then 20.Nd6 Qa6 21.Qxe6+ wins 2 pawns.
This is typical problems for a 3 rank defence: no good squares available for your pieces! :) |

Dec-17-12 J Finnegan vs R P Allen, 1948
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: 23.Qxf8+ Nxf8 24.Re8 is mate. Pretty standard mate with R & B. |
|
|
|
Dec-04-12 G Timoscenko vs J Bednarich, 1997
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: W can sacrifice material at e8 as eventually Qf6 will decide the game. |
|

|
Nov-22-12 Gilg vs I Censer, 1927
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: I went for 16.Nd5,thus overlooking the simple 16...Qd8. 16.b4 was a great move! |
|
|
|
Sep-04-12 J Kalish vs E Dunphy, 1966
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: 18.Ng5 and I don't think 18...Be3+ would defend, as after 19...Bxg5 White can open up the h-file for mate. |

May-31-11 S Vaibhav vs A Yang Ching-Wei, 2011
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: Black is a pawn up but White has a mating attack based on his active pieces and his passed pawn. 26.Bxh7+ Kxh7 27.Qh5+ and:
a) 27...Kg8 28.Qh8 mate;
b) 27...Qh6 28.Qxf7+ (the point) 28...Qg7 29.Qxg7 mate. |

May-25-11 Adams vs Seirawan, 1999
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: White has 2 Rooks and a pawn for a Queen. He has a passed center pawn. Black's f3-pawn makes one think of a mating possibility at g2 but at the moment g5 is unavailable. However the Bd2 is undefended. Thus 27...Qd4 double-attacks d2 and g4. So 28.Bc3 (28.Be3, 28.Rd1) 28...Qg4 ... |

May-19-11 K Akshayraj vs Le Quang Liem, 2008
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: 35.b4. Too easy. Missed it.
Surprising that after spending soooo long trying to avoid a perpetual, this move never received the consideration it deserves in my analysis. I saw it, of course. But no more than that! Sigh! |

|
May-18-11 S P Johnston vs Marshall, 1899
| |
| ZUGZWANG67: More often than not when Black plays his QN before his c-pawn he gets in trouble. Of course, there always the Chigorin, but in that case he usually plays ...e5 in one move; not two! Could the fact that the game was played more than 100 years ago explain for such an inacuracy? ... |
