Oct-08-24 Mamedyarov vs P Maghsoodloo, 2024 
|
sackman: Another demonstration of how tricky K and P endgames can be - a single move 67..c2 turns black's position from advantageous (though would be a long win) to a dead loss |

|
sackman: "Beating the retreat " An impressive positional queen sacrifice. The way that white's queen is marched backwards d6 to f4 to f3 to e2 to e1 to b1 is very entertaining. |

|
sackman: A puzzle indeed. I guessed the same first moves as <drollere> but then got stuck i see why now. SF recommends 19 Kb1 (!!!) with a tiny edge to white bet no-one picked that... |
