Qf3+      Feb-18-15 Tal vs Leonov, 1949    phil6875: Nobody else has mentioned that Tal could have played Bxh7+ on move 19 then played Rf6. A possible variation, 19. Bxh7+ Kxh7 20. Rf6 g6 21.

At the moment ...      Oct-26-13 Magnus Carlsen    phil6875: <kappertjes> Why can't there be 3 Carlsen wins (2 with White and 1 with Black) and 9 draws?      Oct-13-13 Keene vs M Basman, 1967    phil6875: Also, there was a stronger move than the text in 31.
