Apr-19-25 H Thomann vs P Hammargren, 1974   rwbean: 11... d5 or 12... d5 is the right way of escaping the pin on the f6 ♘. If White plays exd5 Black has ♕d6! equalizing.      Apr-17-25 P Hammargren vs E Diemer, 1974   rwbean: Just came here from the German Wikipedia Diemer article. Awesome. This is all so crazy. Just 4. ♘c3 was so much better, and not 5. d5?? ... White wanted to "punish" Black and lost instead.      Apr-15-25 S J Solomon vs G Jones, 2010   rwbean: 17... e5! 18. ♘f5! Black hasn't noticed his h5 ♘ is trapped 23. c4! vs 23. ♘xd6? ... 25... f5! vs 25... ♖xd6?? 36. ♗e7 absolutely winning ... 36. bxa5?? allows 36... ♖b8+ drawing 46. ♖xf7! forcing a win (into 7-piece tablebases!)      Apr-15-25 S J Solomon vs Miles, 1991    rwbean: Can't believe O'Neill vs Solomon 1985 isn't here ... anyway ... 15. e6! was crushing 17. ♗xf5! vs 17. ♕e4?? 23... ♕b4 winning 36. g6 mate in 16      Apr-15-25 B Remenyi vs W Den Hartog, 1990   rwbean: 5. ♘xc6? ... 5. ♘b5 is the way 10... ♔f8! 11. o-o ♗b7 12... o-o and that's about all there is to say here      Feb-14-25 Koblents vs Z Kunins, 1936   rwbean: 14... ♘e5? or 14... ♘c5! And amazingly Black has a way out of the disaster a few moves later ... instead of 23. e4! 23. h3? c5! 24. ♕xc5 ♘e3      Dec-04-24 Chess vs Alburt, 1979   rwbean: I can see a bit more in the Google Books snippet, it has "12. P-N4!? ... 13 ... N-R4? 14. Q-N5!" As so often happens 13... Na5 is SF's only move (-0.36, 41 ply)      Nov-13-24 Browne vs J Acers, 1971    rwbean: 13... ♗g6? instead of 13... ♗xg4 should lose. 16. ♗e4! is the winning move here. However, the Trifunovic variation is tricky, the famous game WCCC 1992, round 5, Kasparov Sparc - ChessMachine WK, had 13... ♗xg4 14. ♗f4 ♘xa1 15. ♖c1? (15. ...      Nov-13-24 O Sarapu vs HIARCS, 1997   rwbean: Perhaps 6. e5 7.... d5?? and 8... ♕c7?? are great losing moves if 10... ♕xa1 then 11. o-o ... the ♕ is not leaving      Nov-12-24 O Sarapu vs ChessMachine, 1992    rwbean: 5... b5, 6... b5, 7... b5 =, 8... e5, 9... e5 ... but after 7... o-o? and 9... b5? Black is toast 14. e5 +5 already 26. ♘e4!! mate in 10
