cowscowscows: <WhiteRook48> - 30. ... Kg7 results in the loss of the queen with the discovered attack 31. Bh6! Ouch! |

Aug-08-14 J Bass vs D Semcesen, 2013
|
cowscowscows: A great finish.
It seems to me that 12. ... f4 seizes the initiative, with Black's 13. .. Nh5 is thematic in these positions with pawns on e5 and f4. White haw control over the open d-file for most of the game but Black has correctly evaluated its not worth much. For example, ... |

Jun-09-14 Nisipeanu vs Kasimdzhanov, 2002
|
cowscowscows: Black doesn't seem to have found the best defence - 15. ... h5 seems unnecessarily to weaken his defences. Better may be 15. ... Ng8!? as in Grischuk vs Leko, 2002 or in Fridman v Lanka (Germany 2005). |

Jun-09-14 V Akopian vs P K Wells, 2006
|
cowscowscows: Black's plan with 14. ... f5 looks promising, though he appears to have conceded his queenside attack in the process. Better might have been 17. ... a3, fixing White's weakness in place, where Black is by no means worse. Black seems to have lost the thread, though with 18. ... ... |

|
cowscowscows: Black's knight must move, after which White wins either the h3 bishop or the e7 knight due to the overworked queen on d7. Oops! |

|
cowscowscows: After Qf8, White to move and mate in four, else he loses a piece - Black's made an awful blunder!!! Eg 14. ... Qf8
15. Bxg7 Qxg7
16. Nf6+ Kd8
17. Qe7 Kc8
18. Qxc7# |

Feb-24-14 K Holmlund vs R Janssen, 2013 
|
cowscowscows: A great attacking game.
White is powerless to stop mate on h2 after:
16. Kh1 Qh4
A victim of poor pawns :-) |

|
cowscowscows: White resigns after simply losing a pawn??? |

Feb-24-14 M Murray vs B Socko, 2013 
|
cowscowscows: Must be erroneously recorded - the three-fold repetition surely means its a draw |

Feb-23-14 A Muzychuk vs W Ju, 2013 
|
cowscowscows: This is a fascinating game, from a strategic and meta-game perspective. Ju Wenjun, it appears from her profile, doesn't play King's Pawn or English-type openings, so her knowledge of such positions, one would assume, is quite limited. White, knowing this, transposes an ... |
