Jul-31-09 T Sakellaropoulos vs K Dreyer, 1958 
|
bpdoc: White had two connected pawns on the 6th and 7th ranks and somehow lost. I think 43.Qg3 was the mistake. 43.Rf1 looks more threatening. |

Jul-26-08 I Ibragimov vs A Richter, 2001 
|
bpdoc: Ibragimov nicely took advantage of 40 ...b6?, and probably had a won game from there. Glad he did not rest on his material advantage and instead delivered the very pretty final blow. |

Aug-01-07 Milov vs O Renet, 2002 
|
bpdoc: Why is this game over? 39...Rxa8 40 Rxa8 (40 Bxf7 Rxa1 41 Rxa1 Ne5+, forking the bishop) Bxd5 41 Ra1 Ne5+ 42 Kh5 Nd3, forking a couple pawns, and its a close game, right? |

Jun-05-07 E Mortensen vs Keene, 1976 
|
bpdoc: Nice setup with 20...Qa8, and beautiful mating combo starting with 22...Rg5. |

Feb-21-07 Kramnik vs Topalov, 2003 
|
bpdoc: Why not 39...Bd6 40. Kxd6 Re1 41. Kc6 e5 42. Ra7 Re6+ 43.Kxc5 hg? |

Jan-31-07 Najdorf vs N Cortlever, 1939 
|
bpdoc: 28...Nc4 wins the pawn, giving Black a decicive 2-pawn advantage. If white tries 28.Rc1, then black takes the a-pawn and has 3 connected passed pawns on the queenside. |

|
Dec-04-06 Petursson vs Lombardy, 1984 
|
bpdoc: How about 22...Nd4. If 23.Bxg7, then 23...Nxf2 24.Bxf8 Nxe2 . If 23.Rf2, then 23...Rf5, pinning the queen. |

Oct-16-06 M Kanep vs Ehlvest, 2003 
|
bpdoc: What's wrong with 29. Qc8+ Kh7 30. Qxb7 Rxg2 31. Kh1 Rg1+ 32. Kxg1 Qxb7 33. d5...? Am I missing something? |
