Feb-20-25 E Berg vs Bagirov, 1997    emelman: David Levin, The original Stockfish line had 22...Rf4 not f3. 23.Rg3 Re8 and if 24.Qh8 Kf7 25.Ne5 Qxe5! wins since after dxe5 the pawn isn't attacking the f6 rook.      Nov-12-24 H Pfleger vs D Root, 1981    emelman: My first thought was 36.Bxg5 Nxg5 37Qg6 but it fails to 37...Rg4+ 38.Kf2 Nh3+ 39.k? RXQg6--- Sorry King! The game continuation is better.      Feb-23-19 Rossolimo vs I Romanenko, 1948    emelman: after 11 Bg5 it seems that 11...Bf6 puts up more resistance than the game Qa5. 12. Bxf6 Nxf6 13. exf6 Kf8 what's next? Or 11. exf6 Kf8 12.Qd2 h6 is there a forcing continuation?      Apr-25-18 Team White vs Team Black, 2017    emelman: sbevan, If 56. Rd5 g6 57. Nxd6 gxh7 58 nf7 controls the queening square and the black King marches to pick up the pawns.      Sep-07-13 M Foisor vs S Liao, 2012    emelman: So it looks like 30...d4 is the losing move! It seemed a reasonable attempt to activate the queen via d5 but whites 31. c6 blows it up! My first thought was 30...e5 to continue the game. Good fighting chess!      Mar-10-13 D Minic vs Fischer, 1970    emelman: RE: Jim from Providence's suggestion of 24.b3 fails to 24... d5 when if bxRa4 25... Qa3+ wins.
