Jun-22-12 Romanishin vs Marjanovic, 1972    cydmd: I'm very honored and pleased to see many positive comments from that smart community about the solution I gave to that puzzle 8 years ago. Comments came up again since <LTJ> "rediscovered" it. Thank you, guys.      Feb-29-12 J Aagaard vs P A Rasmussen, 1996    cydmd: <Gilmoy>, I don't think 29.Qxb7+ is laborious. See for yourself. 27.Rxc7+ Kxc7 28.Re7+ Kb6 29.Qxb7+ 29... Kc5 30.b4# [DIAGRAM] 29... Ka5 30.b4+ Ka4 31.Qa6# [DIAGRAM] I think that's even simpler than the actual line.      Feb-15-12 Polgar vs L B Hansen, 1989    cydmd: We're lucky guys!! We have an exclusive chess columnist: <Once>. Don't lose his entertaining column everyday at CG.      Feb-10-12 A A Lopez vs E Schiller, 2012    cydmd: The goal is to invade Black's position with the white queen. 41.Qd2!! is indeed a finesse. It's a double threat because Black must not allow 42.Qd6. Then, 41... Qb4 is a natural solution (42... Ne4 fails because of 42.Qf4). A strategical goal enabled a tactical blow with 42.Rh8+. ...      Jan-16-12 Zhao Jun vs Xiu Deshun, 2011    cydmd: <ferri1234>, White simply puts more pressure with 26.dxe6 And there's no defense against 27.Rxf7+. If 26... Rg8 then 27.Rxf7+ Nxf7 28.Rxf7+ Ke8 (28... Qxf7 29.Qxf7#) 29.Qxg8#      Jan-16-12 J Schwarz vs Tarrasch, 1883    cydmd: As <Once> has brilliantly described, the combination starts earlier than the POTD's position. Maybe a future POTD for a Wednesday.      Jan-13-12 Timman vs C van Wijgerden, 1977    cydmd: The line selected by Timman is not so crushing if a correct defense is employed, as <David2009> pointed out. The white queen is exchanged by 3 small pieces still keeping a positional advantage for White. However, a win is not clear on White's horizon. The line proposed by ...      Jan-05-12 P Popovic vs Rajkovic, 1980    cydmd: <Jimfromprovidence>, is anything wrong with: 27.Rxh6 Qxb6+ 28.Kh1 Qe3 29.Be4+ (instead of Nd2) [DIAGRAM] 29... Qxe4+ (not 29... Kh8 since 30.Rxh6+ Qxh6 31.Qxh6#) 30.Rxe4 Bxf6 31.Qxf6 threatening 32.Rh4 ? Though it may not the best continuation, I think it still wins easily.      Dec-29-11 Yermolinsky vs M Braude, 1992    cydmd: The score seems to be incorrect, at least from move 40 till the end. Though I don't have the complete score of this game, a fragment of it appears in Yermolinsky's book "The Road to Chess Improvement". The book presents the game until move 41 with the following score: 40.b6 Rb7 ...      Dec-16-11 Fischer vs J Bolbochan, 1959    cydmd: Note that Fischer reached the same position twice (on moves 45 and 48). And only at the second time he devised the winning plan. I did see both moves but that game shows some choices are tried out OTB.      Dec-13-11 Beliavsky vs Kupreichik, 1983     Oct-17-11 T Gnirk vs N Katte, 2007     May-18-11 B Melvin vs R Cunningham, 1994     Apr-26-11 Ramesh vs G B Joshi, 2000     Feb-07-11 C Bloodgood vs G Trefzer, 1958     Jan-17-11 Jurez vs Gasloi, 1968     Sep-07-10 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Jun-23-10 A Budnikov vs V Varavin, 1989     Mar-10-10 J Altusky vs Fischer, 1954     Feb-25-10 R G Hegde vs Palatnik, 1988     Dec-30-09 N Kosintseva vs V Gunina, 2009     Dec-10-09 Uhlmann vs Larsen, 1971     Jul-31-09 Tal vs D Mohrlok, 1962     Jul-14-09 M Boe vs C Yeuillaz, 1991     Jul-07-09 Polgar vs Anand, 1999     Jul-03-09 Adams vs Leko, 1999     Apr-30-09 Z Kozul vs Bologan, 2005     Mar-12-09 Dlugy vs Alburt, 1990     Mar-10-09 Carlsen vs Y Wang, 2009     Mar-06-09 Tal vs Timman, 1972     Feb-05-09 Tal vs Portisch, 1976     Feb-05-09 Kraussold vs Volt, 1921     Feb-04-09 M Athar Ansari vs J Perona, 2001     Jan-28-09 Giri vs T Hillarp Persson, 2009     Jan-27-09 Fine vs H Helms, 1945     Jan-19-09 G Kuzmin vs Sveshnikov, 1973     Jan-17-09 Motylev vs A Iljushin, 2000     Jan-15-09 Anand vs I Morovic Fernandez, 1990     Jan-08-09 Euwe vs B Matzner, 1980     Jan-07-09 M Diesen vs M Rohde, 1976     Jan-07-09 Tal vs Averbakh, 1961     Dec-30-08 Pachman vs Eckert, 1940     Dec-22-08 Segal vs A W Fox, 1900     Dec-19-08 Portisch vs Westerinen, 1963     Dec-13-08 G Giorgadze vs Xu Jun, 1996     Dec-04-08 Larsen vs Najdorf, 1968     Nov-28-08 Carlsen vs L Drabke, 2003     Nov-26-08 Tiviakov vs Tukmakov, 1993     Nov-21-08 Sveshnikov vs A Kveinys, 1996     Nov-07-08 V Akopian vs Sveshnikov, 1993     Oct-13-08 Ritson-Morry vs A R Thomas, 1939     Oct-09-08 Tolush vs N Kopilov, 1954     Oct-03-08 Edinburgh CC vs London, 1825     Jun-14-08 F Slous vs W Bone, 1846     Jun-06-08 Gelfand vs Adams, 1988     May-31-08 de Firmian vs F Vallejo Pons, 2003     May-24-08 Vaganian vs Hjartarson, 1991     May-13-08 W Schmidt vs J Augustin, 1976     May-06-08 Kasparov vs Beliavsky, 1983     Apr-13-07 R Kempinski vs Gleizerov, 2000     Aug-25-04 J Belson vs R E Martin, 1933     Aug-19-04 Radjabov vs Anand, 2002     Jul-07-04 Kasimdzhanov vs Adams, 2004     Jul-02-04 B Vladimirov vs Z Doda, 1967     Jun-29-04 V Akopian vs Adams, 2004     Apr-14-04 G Benini vs A Reggio, 1911     Apr-07-04 Tarrasch vs Janowski, 1907     Nov-24-03 Karpov vs Taimanov, 1977
