Sep-05-19 Alekhine vs K Opocensky, 1925    rudiment: I always try to play these like I would OTB so after much thought I went for 25. Re7 but that pesky bishop ruined my plans. Should've dealt with him first.      Jul-04-19 L Babujian vs A Deviatkin, 2009    rudiment: First Thursday I've gotten in ages. Re4 and White's Q is momentarily trapped, leading to a few forcing lines that at worst leave Black with a small but significant material advantage. I didn't find the exact game line - my Qh1 always came a bit later - but I'm chalking this down as      May-07-19 Bacrot vs Aronian, 2009    rudiment: I also reckoned 19. e6 would be the move I'd play over the board, but didn't really know how it would play out or how it could be a "puzzly" solution. Seems I'm not alone!      May-02-19 Tomashevsky vs Avrukh, 2009    rudiment: If it were Black's move, White's Bishop would be doomed. Trying to save the Bishop with something like h3 hands Black the initiative. But the pawn on d6, which the Bishop is attacking, is quite weak. I tried to make something out of pinning a rook there with: 34. Rxd6 Rxd6 35. Rxc5      Apr-18-19 W Arencibia Rodriguez vs J Magem Badals, 1991    rudiment: Didn't spot the game line at all. What happens if White plays 26. Rc6?      Apr-16-19 Suba vs Tal, 1977    rudiment: Simples. Get the minor pieces off and White's King will have too much to do.      Apr-13-19 Colle vs J Delvaux, 1929    rudiment: 15. Nxe6 threatens to demolish Black's kingside and pretty much forces the exchange. I didn't see the rest of the game line after 16...Bg7.      Apr-11-19 Psakhis vs S Polgar, 1990    rudiment: Ooof. Way beyond me.      Apr-09-19 B Kurajica vs Karpov, 1994    rudiment: Happy to get this, I usually miss the non-mating ones. My process for these puzzles is generally to ask myself "what move would be mate if it weren't for that one pesky piece" - and in this case that led me straight to Qg7+ and the game line.      Apr-08-19 Koneru vs C Waters, 1999    rudiment: Took me a while to see it but there's nothing White can do after Bg2      Mar-25-19 Ivanchuk vs Kramnik, 1998     Mar-20-19 M Socko vs E Paehtz, 2009     Mar-19-19 R Baron vs C Debray, 2009     Feb-08-19 Morozevich vs Anand, 1995     Feb-05-19 R Edouard vs T Casper, 2009     Jul-26-18 Firouzja vs E Cordova, 2017     Jul-26-14 A Galkin vs Kovalenko, 2013     Mar-24-14 Ding Liren vs A Moiseenko, 2013     Mar-24-14 D G Baird vs Albin, 1894     Mar-14-14 Gelfand vs Aronian, 2013     Dec-09-13 S Williams vs The World, 2013     Oct-08-13 J Richardson vs A Eva, 1939     Dec-10-12 C F Johansson vs M Hernback, 1997     Nov-13-12 A Istratescu vs Chernin, 1997     Nov-12-12 D Antic vs D Milanovic, 1996     Nov-01-12 Averbakh vs O Moiseev, 1950     Oct-24-12 J Wyss vs B Bellahcene, 2012     Oct-18-12 Plachetka vs L Zinn, 1974     Oct-16-12 S Klimov vs A Gubanov, 1995     Sep-12-12 E Kristiansen vs Kupreichik, 2012     Aug-30-12 A Jankovic vs V Nedilko, 2012     Apr-14-12 Adams vs R Polzin, 2010     Apr-13-12 C Breshears vs S Geib, 1998     Apr-03-12 Polgar vs Khalifman, 2000     Mar-21-12 Chigorin vs Gossip, 1889     Mar-09-12 Radjabov vs Karjakin, 2012     Mar-08-12 A Hunt vs J R Adair, 2011    Feb-29-12 Janosevic vs Geller, 1968     Feb-29-12 J Aagaard vs P A Rasmussen, 1996     Feb-22-12 Rybka vs Pandix, 2008     Feb-01-12 Kasparov vs Andersson, 1988     Jan-16-12 G Marco vs Maroczy, 1899     Jan-16-12 Zhao Jun vs Xiu Deshun, 2011     Jan-16-12 J Schwarz vs Tarrasch, 1883     Jan-15-12 Duras vs Z Barasz, 1912     Jan-13-12 Timman vs C van Wijgerden, 1977
