Aug-13-12 S Pencil vs G Goltsoff, 1976    dragon player: A new change this week, last week I gave up quite early. 13.Qxh7+ Kxh7 14.Rh3+ Qh5 15.Rxh5# Time to check. ------------ Yes, right. And a nice story by <Once>.      Aug-06-12 C Ward vs A Summerscale, 1996    dragon player: This one is really easy: 18.Qxf8+ Kxf8 19.Rd8# Time to check. ----------- Right 1/1      Aug-02-12 J Polgar vs N Gaprindashvili, 1990    dragon player: When I saw this I thought why not 31...Bxc6+, but than I saw it was defended. Than I saw the solution: 31...Rc3! 32.bxc3 Bxc6+ now it's no longer defended. 33.Kg1 Rg8+ 34.Kf2 Rg2+ winning the queen. Maybe there's a mate, but I don't care. Time to check. ...      Aug-01-12 de Firmian vs A Rustemov, 1999    dragon player: I considerded only one move when I saw this puzzle: 31...Bxg2 32.Kxg2 If 32.Qxg2 Rd2, winning the queen. 32...Rd2+ 33.Kg3 Qg1+ 34.Kf4 If 34.Kf3 Qxg5 34...Rf1# Time to check. --------------- In the game black prefered to not take the bisshop and gave a shower of ...      Jul-31-12 Simagin vs Kholmov, 1966    dragon player: This puzzle is a contains a really nice mate: 44...Ng4+! 45.hxg4 Rh6+ 46.Kg1 Rd1# Time to check. ----------- Yes, white foresaw it and resigned. 2/2      Jul-30-12 L Ootes vs K Yamada, 2011    dragon player: It's monday, so a queen sac: 30.Qxg7+ Rxg7 31.Rxg7+ Kh8 32.Rh7# Time to check. -------------- Yes right, and it's a game from Holland. Always nice.      Jul-27-12 Geller vs Dorfman, 1976    dragon player: A strange puzzle today. Black's bisshop is hanging, but taking it doesn't work. I've looked at it for a while now, and I don't see anything else than this: 33.Nh8 Bxf2+ 34.Kh1! Now black has trouble defending the rook, his queen can't do this. 34...Kxh8 35.Qxf7 and ...      Jul-26-12 E Hermansson vs S Cicak, 2006    dragon player: When I saw this puzzle, I thought it would be white to move, since he is a lot more active.

Time to check. ...      Jul-25-12 Sanahuja vs Fernandez, 1983    dragon player: Strange puzzle today. There's no obvious winner.

Time to check. ------------------ That was a quite short game, but it was black's own ...      Jul-24-12 Short vs A Muir, 2004    dragon player: This puzzle contains some nice sacs: 35.Qxh7+ Nxh7 36.Rxh7+ Kxh7 37.Rh1+ Bh4 38.Rxh4# Time to check. -------------- yes, right. 2/2
