Oct-01-10 Illescas Cordoba vs Nakamura, 2003    beginner64: The solution is really very simple. It was the question that was so difficult for me. I am thinking of City Slickers. I sure could ask some of you to explain how to have thought through this answer, but I can imagine someone getting frustrated and saying: "Shut up! Just shut up! ...      Sep-28-10 M Madeira de Ley vs Bolbochan, 1952    beginner64: 23... h5, and rook has nowhere to go. Black wins an exchange. But, on 27. h4, what is wrong with 27.. Qxh4      Sep-27-10 A Burns vs Blackburne, 1885    beginner64: <Once>All good points. There is nothing left for me to say. <Patriot>Ditto.      Jul-13-10 R Vera vs J Becerra Rivero, 1996   beginner64: Please add me to the list of people who found the puzzle too easy but are mesmerized by 31. Nf5+. Thanks to once, twice and 3 times, I think I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. @kevin86: No, we don't have two Mondays this week. We had a Tuesday ...      Jul-12-10 NN vs Blackburne, 1871    beginner64: Almost didn't get it, and then solved it only by knowing it was a Monday puzzle. I really don't have any reasonable expectation of being able to find this kind of combination OTB.      Dec-14-09 Nyback vs U Von Herman, 2009    beginner64: 20. Qxh5 of course jumps out, since the queen cannot be captured. But, after 20..h6, white is in an interesting soup. Neither of h6, g6 pawns are able to take the free hanging fruit in front of them, but now, 21..Qxg5 is a clear threat to white. 21. Ndf3 solves that problem, as ...      Jun-06-09 Anand vs Ivanchuk, 1993    beginner64: It was trivial to see that 23. Qxc6 or Qxa6 loses to 23..Qd1+, losing the rook. So, 23. Rxb7 and the sequence of steps till move 27 is clear. I paused there to think what was the right 28th move, but could not come up with Bb5! Brilliant. I thought the move would be to leave the ...      Jan-05-09 NN vs Zukertort, 1868    beginner64: <YouRang: ...>Actually, I found your comment and the presented case pretty amusing funny. Bring more on - next time, I am sure others would have been already prepared of your sense of humor. On the game note, yeah, this Monday I found to be the easiest Monday in many ...      Jan-04-09 J Heissler vs Kasimdzhanov, 1999    beginner64: The only thing worthwhile that I have to add is that 40. Rc7 was a very surprising move from Heissler. All his previous moves had suggested to me that he knew that he could not move either rook off the 1st and second ranks.      Dec-31-08 Rajkovic vs M O Jovanovic, 2008    beginner64: Ok, the first thing I notice about the position is that Qxg6 is playable. Kxg6 may not lead to mate, but at least a good position for white. That is, black will be able to stave off mate only by giving back the queen. Another thing I notice is that there is an interesting ...      Dec-27-08 A Huzman vs Dreev, 1987     Dec-26-08 A Nickel vs The World, 2008     Dec-26-08 Epishin vs Gheorghiu, 1993     Dec-24-08 A Kosten vs Chandler, 1991     Dec-23-08 E Cekro vs L Patriarca, 2008     Dec-22-08 S Maus vs Tal, 1990     Dec-21-08 Hecht vs H Schaufelberger, 1973     Dec-18-08 Buhmann vs B Saeheng, 2008     Dec-18-08 R Kempinski vs H Tirard, 1996     Dec-10-08 G Bastrikov vs Shamkovich, 1958     Dec-09-08 A Foldeak vs F Nagy, 1942     Dec-09-08 A Kvon vs E Acuner, 2005     Dec-01-08 Timman vs Short, 1990     Nov-26-08 Tiviakov vs Tukmakov, 1993     Nov-20-08 Sadvakasov vs S Tatai, 1999     Nov-16-08 Spassky vs V Korensky, 1973     Nov-15-08 M Ulybin vs Sveshnikov, 1988     Nov-13-08 C Lutz vs Kramnik, 1995     Nov-12-08 K Georgiev vs Shirov, 1992     Nov-10-08 Young / Burille vs Ware / Snow, 1888     Nov-08-08 I Sokolov vs Timman, 1997     Nov-04-08 Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984     Nov-04-08 V K Matta vs K Abhishek, 2008    Nov-04-08 V K Matta vs M Anshuman, 2008    Nov-04-08 V Disawal vs M Anshuman, 2008     Nov-03-08 S Cross vs C Henderson, 1938     Nov-02-08 Piket vs I Novikov, 1996     Oct-29-08 Anand -
