Jan-21-22 Carlsen vs Rapport, 2022    benveniste: 7. ♗e3 only shows up once in the opening explorer: Z Kozul vs I Farago, 2019      Jan-13-22 P Dubinin vs Veresov, 1940    benveniste: I saw the first two moves. I didn't see 36. ♖xg7+. Black ends up the exchange for a pawn, but with so many major pieces in an open position it's still going to be a fight.      Jan-05-22 B Ahlander vs Y Korsunsky, 2021   benveniste: Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with 52. ♖xc2+      Jul-29-21 Rossetto vs Najdorf, 1955    benveniste: ♕d5 wins but seemed too obvious, but I completely missed ♖e3.      Jun-21-21 Nunn vs N Murshed, 1985    benveniste: If it wasn't Monday, I'd play ♖x♗, which mates one move later.      May-23-21 F Olafsson vs Eliskases, 1960    benveniste: I'm going to give myself partial credit even though I couldn't find a clear path forward after 25. ... ♗xd3      May-11-21 Vocaturo vs Kotronias, 2006    benveniste: I spent too long trying to see what was Black's threat. I finally decided to give up on the puzzle and grab a pawn.      May-07-21 Lutikov vs V Osnos, 1965    benveniste: No points for me today. While I found ♗xf7, I didn't find e6.      May-05-21 S Busygin vs R Burnett, 2014    benveniste: I thought it was obvious through move 30 as well, but Stockfish says that 29. ... ♕d3+ is a faster forced mate.      May-03-21 H Barber vs Hebden, 2000    benveniste: Once upon a time in a high school tournament, I spent 3 solid minutes trying to figure out why my opponent was sacrificing their queen. Eventually I shrugged and took the queen. They resigned.
