| |
| okiesooner: <There seems to be some interesting possibilities after 23.g6> How does White hold on after 23...Qh4? |

| |
| okiesooner: Why would White play 14. Be3 after having played 13. Bd2 on the previous move? |

May-11-21 Onischuk vs Radjabov, 2007
| |
| okiesooner: After 46. c8=N+ Rxc8 47. Bd4+ Qxd4 48. Qxc8, Black can force a draw with 48...Qd2+ (rather than 48...Qe4+) 49. Kg3 Qc3+ 50. Kxg4 Qg7+. |

Apr-21-21 Steinitz vs Lasker, 1896
| |
| okiesooner: If 23. Be7 Qa6 24. Bxh4 Rxh4 25. Qg3+, White should gain a draw by repetition after 25...Kh5 26. Qf3+ Kg6 (or 26...Kg5) 27 Qg3+. Does White have anything better? |

Dec-18-20 Hort vs Portisch, 1968
| |
| okiesooner: If 25...Rxb3 White cannot play 26. Rxd5?? because of the bank-rank mate. And after 25...Rb4 as in the game, if 26. f4 26...Bd4+ blunders away the Bishop. Here if 26...Bb2 27 Rfxd5. The other White Rook can stay on the first rank to forestall a possible back-rank mate. |

Nov-20-20 Keres vs Korchnoi, 1962
| |
| okiesooner: Black apparently overlooked 36...Qxh4 and then overlooked another opportunity to capture the Knight with 38...Qxh4. |
