Dec-23-10 R Vera vs M Sisniega, 1984    ruyv: <27...Qxb8 What else? I mean, white was threatening 28 Qxd8+ remaining a full rook up.> Interesting to notice that Black can try 27...Nxc1 but after 28. Qxd8 Bxd8 29. c6 the result is the same.      Oct-07-09 Carlsen vs Y Wang, 2009    ruyv: I think the reference to Korchnoi is very well thought but for the wrong reasons. Korchnoi is most recognised by his uncompromising fighting spirit not by his "perfect" games      Dec-31-08 Francisco Vallejo Pons    ruyv: <kakhander: Vallejo, will NEVER be in 2700> <praddy06: New entrant in 2700 club had a live rating of 2709 currently has 2704 with yesterday's loss to Caruna> Hey <kakhander> you were saying...      Nov-17-08 F Vallejo Pons vs M Prusikin, 2008    ruyv: Nice finish. If Rxc2 then the beautiful mate Rxh5 gxh5 and g5 mate      Oct-24-08 Anand - Kramnik World Championship Match (2008)    ruyv: <WeGotTheCup> Well, white has some chances to create a zug. With bishop in e3, b6 and g5 are under fire so knight cant move (only to c5 but then Bxc5 an the pawn walks) and the g5 pawn can only be defended with Kg6 because if Kh6 h4 and g5 falls      Sep-12-08 O Bernstein vs J Metger, 1907    ruyv: I guess the elegance of the final sequence is that in the end the queen can go to 4 different squares (f5, c8, d8 and e8) to avoid the smothered mate but on each and every one of them she gets caught. Talk about stalking... :)      Jul-28-08 41st Biel International Chess Festival (2008)    ruyv: <Zluria> Normaly you would be right but the prob is that after Rxa6+ if Kd5 Rxf6 and Nf7 gives white another pawn and if Ke7 Ra7+ gives white the g7 pawn and possibly the h6 (Kf8 is not possible becuse of Nd7+ forking the rook and King)      Jun-15-08 Aerosvit (2008)    ruyv: Rybka suggests f5 and Bg5 as, probably one of the few initiatives Nisi has in this position...      Jun-11-08 Eljanov vs Carlsen, 2008    ruyv: oops Ulhumbrus beat me to it :)      Jun-10-08 Carlsen vs Van Wely, 2008    ruyv: white just needs to threat to create a passed pawn on h column t force Black to change f for e and possibly g for c. After that the game is won for White
