benveniste: Since it's Monday, I tried the Queen Sac first. Perhaps that was the point of the puzzle? |

Jun-07-22 Unzicker vs Tal, 1975 
|
benveniste: A valuable exercise in how to get your opponent to resign quickly. 29. c4 wins easily as well, but 29. ♕xe5 makes the loss obvious. |

|
benveniste: It being Monday, I spent _way_ too long trying to get ♕g8+ to work. |

Mar-31-22 Kaufman vs Chandler, 1979 
|
benveniste: I also went with 24 ... ♗b5. While there are several lines, all of them end up with black being up an exchange and a pawn with no counterplay for white. |

benveniste: @not not, that's an interesting view of "toying," given that Stockfish scores this position at 0.00. |

Feb-01-22 S Cvetkovic vs Plachetka, 1977 
|
benveniste: I saw that ♖f1 wins whether black takes the rook or not, but I didn't backtrack to realize that ♖x♗ is quicker. |

Jan-26-22 Giri vs Duda, 2022 
|
benveniste: The initial flurry of exchanges makes me think Giri was looking for a quick draw. |
