Mar-16-06 L Espig vs Csom, 1978 
|
jorgegatica: Almost first :-)
...
Well, the theme is easy to see when you consider that white has a bishop in a3 and black has a king in f8...
Then the idea changes to calculate the move necessary to clean the diagonal and Ncd5 comes to mind.
Next moves are forced or almost forced.

jorgegatica: Chesstoplay argues that Korchnoi is the strongest chessplayer and not World Champion... then I went to his page and enjoyed his games; and there I found this truly gem
Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1994
For me, the 59... move is one of the toughest puzzles I have ever seen. It wins ... |

Feb-26-06 Leko vs Topalov, 2006 
|
jorgegatica: Now Rxd7 and white is on top because bishp in f6 and rook in h8 will be hard to move. And knights will make a feast on light squares...

Feb-22-06 Keres vs Gligoric, 1959 
|
jorgegatica: As was explained, theme is Q without defense...

Feb-06-06 A Niedermayer vs P Haba, 1996 
|
jorgegatica: It is pretty easy.
Old theme of killing the defender: RxNe5 and then Qd3 hangs. The other obvious line should also work easier and more direct:

Feb-02-06 H Spangenberg vs Kramnik, 1991 
|
jorgegatica: Hmmm, the Argentinien guy plays very well and this crushing victory against a former World Champion deserves more analysis.
Kramnik refuses a clear draw and 46.-... Ka6 was a strange blunder...
Time problems?

jorgegatica: Tim, with all due respect, your suggestion sucks:
