| catlover: Love the pun.
I was surprised that black resigned since he was "only a pawn down." CG's engine evaluates the final position +4.45. |

Nov-26-22 J Tompa vs J Cuibus, 1973
| |
| catlover: I missed 22 Rxg7+. I see now that it initiates a strong attack that no doubt is winning, although I probably would have bobbled the ball if I was moving the white pieces. I went with 22. Nxe6 Nxe6 23. Bxh6 gxh6 24. Qxh6. |

Nov-15-22 J Bosch vs J Algra, 2001
| |
| catlover: I like the game title's reference to Hieronymus Bosch's famous painting. And like <shakman> said about a decade ago, it is also a great game. Good choice for GODT. |

Nov-11-22 Svidler vs A Volokitin, 2006
| |
| catlover: It looks like Volokitin would have been better off taking the e4 bishop. If 21...dxe4, then after 22. fxe5+ Bf6 23. exf6 gxf6 24. Rxf6+ Qxf6 25. Rf1 Qxf1+ 26. Kxf1 Bd5 white is better but black is at least still in the game. |

Oct-19-22 M Narciso Dublan vs I Cheparinov, 2020
| |
| catlover: I guess a likely finish is: 37...Qd1+ 38. Rxd1 Rxd1+ 39. Bf1 Rxf1+ 40. Kg2 Rf2+ 41. Kh3 Rxf5 42. Qxe3+ Kh5 43. g4# |
