Jan-25-17 A L'Ami vs A Merry, 2015 
| |
| jd4chess: Easy but pretty. Biggest challenge was working out if there was anything better (eg a quick mate). |

Jan-22-17 Taimanov vs V Mikenas, 1965
| |
| jd4chess: Stockfish says that black missed a draw as late as 32 ... Qa2 though white missed a clearer win earlier on, 24 Rg7 being a big improvement. |

Jul-30-16 B Adhiban vs G Antal, 2015
| |
| jd4chess: Stockfish actually narrowly prefers 20 Rh4 and scores the game continuation level until 25..Nf6 which suddenly loses (Ne5 is better). |

Jul-28-16 F A Foulds vs Lang, 1956
| |
| jd4chess: Well stockfish thinks Bc5 is a weak move that throws away most of white's advantage, preferring Bd2. I tried Bf4 and Qd5+ but Nd6 holds and black's a piece up. |

Jul-10-16 S Williams vs D Howell, 2015
| |
| jd4chess: don't really get the point of this one, thought the first two moves were fairly easy to find, and then it's a matter of trying to hold on against whatever white tries. |

May-30-16 D Mitran vs M Carbajo Berrocal, 2007
| |
| jd4chess: Played through that to see how the position arose. Horrible horrible game. Never was it more the case that the last blunder is the only one that matters! |

May-23-16 M Golubev vs G Sagalchik, 1983
| |
| jd4chess: I thought that was tough for a Monday. No capture to hint at the sac, and 3 moves to mate. |

May-22-16 Blatny vs Vladimirov, 1989
| |
| jd4chess: well Nxb4 is probably a draw and given that black is exchange and 3 pawns down, it's the obvious move to try. 36 ... Rc6 seems the losing move. |
