Sep-26-21 Naiditsch vs P K Wells, 2000 
|
backyard pawn: <Brenin> I also followed the same line as you. But after 22 Rd4 traps the Black Q, I had 22..., Bc8. Then I'm stumped for what to do for white, who is down a piece (but up two pawns). The best move is probably right in front of me, but..... :( |

Apr-07-21 McShane vs Damljanovic, 2005 
|
backyard pawn: 33. Rh8+ Kxh8 34. Qh4+ ....
(a)Rh7 35. Qxd8+ Kg7 36. Rg1+ Kh6 37. Qh4#
(b) Kg8 35. Qxd8+ Kh7 36. Qh4+ Kg8 37. Re8#
I left out the useless queen interposition in the (a) variation. |

backyard pawn: I know it's too late for this, but "The Immortal Zukzwang Game" would be a nice title. |

backyard pawn: Force the exchange of pieces with 43. Re6+. Then push the b pawn and get a queen. |

Oct-11-19 Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1962 
|
backyard pawn: It looks like after White responds: 34. Nxg3, Black can pretty much wrap it up with: 34. ..., Ra8. |

Dec-14-18 H Wolf vs von Bardeleben, 1900 
|
backyard pawn: <Ratt Boy> Wouldn't <fm aver viraf>'s main line conclude with 24. Re8.? So the line would be: 21...Bxd6 22. Qd5+ Kh8 23. Qf7 Rg8 24. Re8.... I think black would be in serious trouble at this point. |

Oct-01-17 Bluebaum vs A Rakhmanov, 2016 
|
backyard pawn: <RKight> At first, that's what I thought too. Except that Black is in check and must deal with that first! |
