Apr-12-07 V Malakhov vs Areshchenko, 2005 
| |
| devilwolfdog: Can someone run 16. Bf4 through an engine. That was my guess at the solution. If black takes the rook on d4 or the bishop on f4, then he loses his queen on h4. If black moves the queen, white plays Nxe5 with a devestating attack on d7. If black protects the e5 pawn then white ... |

Mar-08-07 J Tolosa vs J Carbo i Batlle, 1898
| |
| devilwolfdog: Sure, black got checkmated, but he is a rook and knight up, so, to quote Bill Murray, he's got that going for him. |

Jan-28-07 Corus Group A (2007)
| |
| devilwolfdog: You can't look at games that have already been played to see what the results would be under a different scoring system, because the games would have been played completely differently if the scoring system were different. |

May-25-06 Csom vs P Ostojic, 1969
| |
| devilwolfdog: I dont' think that g3 on move 19 wins material because of 19....Bc4 where white's queen ends up in the same predicament as black's queen. If white takes the bishop, black takes the knight on f3 and white's knight is still hanging on f5. |
