Jun-13-15 Negi vs M Ragger, 2014
| |
| legi: mike1: If 27.Kf7, I guess 27...d6 and if 28.ed then the bishop is endangered. e.g. 28...BxB 29.NxB Nd5 winning a piece. |

Jun-19-14 Hort vs R Byrne, 1962
| |
| legi: Nd5 would be handy, but not possible due to the pawn on c6.
Therefore, we eliminate the pawn with tempo: Nc6!
The main threat is now Nd5, which probably also works after 18...Qe8. |

Oct-31-13 W Tabakiernik vs Keene, 1963
| |
| legi: I got the following variation:
16. Bg5 Bxf1 17. Rxf1 h6 18. Nxg6 Qd8 19. Nxf8 hxg5 20. Nd7 Qxd7 21. Qxa8 Kh7 22. cxb6 Qxd4 23. Kh1 axb6 24. Bxf7 Nd3 25. Qf3 g4 26. Qf5 Kh8 27. Bg6 Ne5 28. Rd1 Qe3 29. Rd8 Ng8 30. Rxg8 Kxg8 31. Qe6
Let's check if it's correct...

Jun-07-13 N Pjatakhina vs A Saakova, 1967
| |
| legi: To 22.♔g1
there seems to be a mate: 22...f3
23. ♕b4 (Funkenstein) ♕xh2+
24. ♔x♕ ♘f6+!
25. ♔g3 ♖h3# |

Oct-28-12 Ivanchuk vs I Sokolov, 1996
| |
| legi: Saw the line but expected 29...Kf6, after which 30.Qh6+ Kf7 31.Bg5 looks strong.
A plan for white is Bb3 c4 dc bc Bc2 and black is in grave danger. Wonder whether this holds up to a computer analysis. |
