May-27-13 T de Wit vs R Brandenburg, 2005    prbprb2: Do people think that 27. .. Bxf6 gives Black some play? After 28 Pxf6 Black can force the exchange of queens with 28. .. Qe3 check ? That seems to leave black down a bishop for a pawn... Maybe black can play on?      May-07-13 J Negro vs Manuelli, 1983    prbprb2: There is an obvious attraction of trying to get the Q to h8. It is easy to calculate that black can not stop the intent of Qh4 (except by giving up the Queen). I think for me the puzzle is "devastation in 1 move". So I think Qh4 is equally valid, although the actual mate takes ...      Mar-18-13 E Guo vs S Madhurima, 2011    prbprb2: Can someone verify with me that Black can win the white queen (for rook and bishop, and with winning attack) with 38. .. Qc2+ 39 Kf1 Qd3+ followed by 40 .. Bg3+      Jan-28-13 K Hulak vs Adorjan, 1983    prbprb2: Does 40 Rc4 allow white to survive a little bit? Any thoughts?      Jan-20-13 Shirov vs Morozevich, 2012    prbprb2: Does Moro have better chances with 35 .. Rb5? It seems to me he can pick up both Q side white pawns. Seems like he could get a draw then. No? Could someone comment for me, edify me?      Nov-28-12 I Khmelnitsky vs Plachetka, 1997    prbprb2: Why does black allow white to recapture the pawn so easily on move 23? I can't tell what is going on there. Does he need to secure the d file?      Nov-26-12 E Karahaliou vs M Fragouli, 1997    prbprb2: I guess Black must trade rooks on move 21; taking the pawn is a disaster. Black must accept being a pawn down. Any thoughts?      Nov-21-12 Ponomariov vs A Alavkin, 1997    prbprb2: How would you all appraise the situation at around move 41? Doesn't white have a distinct advantage? Or is it fluff? Thanks to anyone who can take time to appraise the board a bit earlier. Best, Philip      Aug-24-12 P Nguyen vs H Tikkanen, 2011    prbprb2: This didn't seem very difficult. Am I missing something? There is hardly any other option for Black, I think.      Aug-21-12 S Redford vs C Madiba, 2011    prbprb2: 31. Qxf7+ (that is the rook on f7) is also an easy win (leading to mate or at least couple of pieces up.
