Nov-18-15 Ganguly vs H Hernandez Carmenates, 2008
| |
| jheiner: <JeffH1165> I thought Rh7+ would suffice, forcing the capture with Nxh7 and invasion by the Q and B. However upon analysis found that Black can simply repeat the position with Kg8. OTB it would be pretty simple to adjust and find Bxg6 I would think. |

Jan-02-15 Shabalov vs I Krush, 2004 
| |
| jheiner: I missed the obvious line. Instead followed the immediate check with the R and forcing a fun mating net with a pleasing final move. 38.Rg5+ Ke4 39.Qb7+ Ke3 40.Qb6+ Kd3 41.Qxd6+ Ke3 42.Rxe5+ Be4 43.Qd4+ Kf3 44.Qf2+ Kg4 45.Rg5+ Kh3 46 Nf4# There are a few variants, but mostly forced. ... |

| jheiner: @offramp - Mark Hamill was in a car accident towards the end of the first film ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_H... ) and that affected his appearance. I've heard that the whole sequence at the beginning of the second (part 5) movie was to give backstory for his facial scars. ... |

Jun-25-13 B Wall vs J Robin, 1983
| |
| jheiner: Thanks Bartimaeus for the clean lines. The shift to attack the weak g7 square is brutal and simple. I saw the main idea quickly today Qxd5+ and that Bd6 was the staunchest defense, and poked at it for awhile seeing lots of options for White before checking this one. Was surprised ... |

Feb-01-13 K McDonald vs V Yanovsky, 2011
| |
| jheiner: None of this was decisive, but the line I looked at was: 15.Nfxe6 dxe6 16.Nxe6
and there are a lot of choices for the Q. if 16...Qd5 as in the game, I liked 17.Bc4 pressuring f8. (if 17...Qxe6 18.Re1)
although 18.Re1 is coming regardless. |

Jan-22-13 Cochrane vs Moheschunder, 1854
| |
| jheiner: I picked the Bxf7 line almost instantly, but reading the kibitzing find the Qxf8 line with the GOOT most amusing. But what a great instructive game. I'm sure Black had better defenses, but looking at this around move 17 onward is a pamphlet on how to destroy a castled K while your ... |

| |
| jheiner: Like some others, I saw 24.Rc8+ was winning immediately. But... “When you see a good move, look for a better one” ― Emanuel Lasker And found 24.Rxc6+ shortly thereafter. Good Monday. |

| jheiner: And as a follow up, it's probably important when checking one's own King safety OTB to follow the same procedure. |
