Jan-16-23 Lasker vs Rubinstein, 1914 
|
drleper: <Honza Cervenka: Rubinstein should not go for the Rook ending by 54...c5? With Bishops on the board black could probably hold the game with optimal play, or at least his practical chance on successful defense would be much greater there than in a Rook ending, where white can ... |

Nov-25-22 D Anton Guijarro vs J Moussard, 2022 
|
drleper: 80.h4?? gxh4?? is not a move order glitch, it really happened (the increment was 10 seconds). Unfortunately for white the bishop was the right colour for a win, so 80...Bxa4 81.hxg5+ Kxg5 was not even good enough for a draw. Over 5,000 rating points at the board—happens to the ... |

Nov-04-22 D Bicknell vs J Gomez Baillo, 1991 
|
drleper: Looking over a big database, hanging the N on g4 in this line (and sometimes the opponent not even taking it) is more common than you would expect. An interesting case of chess blindness induced by automatic moves that make/parry a threat. |

|
drleper: <jerseybob: <FSR: 49...Rxb4+ is a trivial draw, as was 58...Rxb4+, but I guess Caruana was playing for a win?!> 58..Rxb4+ is certainly a book draw, but in the earlier case Caruana may not have been so certain about allowing a passed b-pawn. Only thing I can think of.> ... |

|
drleper: <keypusher: <Jamboree> SF14 thinks you're absolutely right about moves 59 and 63. Thanks for sharing this amazing ending!>
Since there's only 7 pieces left this one is tablebase solved, and Jamboree's analysis is correct, incredible ending. The only wrong step I found ... |
