May-16-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)    rhickma4: Except Lasker was born in what is now Poland!      Dec-31-12 D Hansson vs R Akesson, 1998    rhickma4: 40...Qxd4 wins a piece and the game      Dec-19-12 A Maksimenko vs Glek, 1995    rhickma4: 32. Re8+ leaves Black with two unpalatable choices. Take the R and lose the Q, or play Kc7 and lose to 33 Rf8 Qxf8 34.Qf4+ to be followed with a N check winning the Q outright.      Dec-13-12 T Dzubasz vs M Ellerbrock, 1996    rhickma4: 17. R1f6 looks to be the key move, with the threat of 18. Rxh6. Black's best defense is probably Ng5, but then Rg7+ wins.      Jun-27-12 Morozevich vs Bologan, 2004    rhickma4: Purdy's advice come true here: 'Look at all the checks' 28.Qh8+ 1-0      Jun-20-12 Tal vs R Mascarinas, 1981    rhickma4: If the White Bishop wasn't there, he could play Rh8+ followed by Qh6+ etc. So 28. Bc7 1-0      Jun-18-12 Andersson vs W Hartston, 1973    rhickma4: A very unusual mate. 36...Qh3+ 37.Kxh3 (Kh1 37.Qf1#) Bf1#      May-31-12 Leko vs Anand, 2001    rhickma4: 25...Nd5 looks to win a piece outright. I suspect White resigned at this point.      May-29-12 G Burgess vs W N Watson, 1989    rhickma4: This is a most unusual mating pattern, so it took me quite a while. 38...Qg3+ 39.Rxg3 fxg3#      May-26-12 J Barle vs I Jelen, 1979    rhickma4: White looks to have a completely forcing line. 28...Ne1+ 29.Kg1 (29.Rg2 Qg2+ leaves Black the exchange and a pawn ahead) 29.Qh1+ Kxh1 30.Rf1+ Qg1 31.Bc6+ Rg2 32.Bxg2# Seems easy for Staurday.
