speleman has kibitzed 5 times to chessgames

Jan-09-24 P Thompson vs Fedorowicz, 1976    speleman: Look for a check. And there it is: Bg2+. Kxg2 necessary. Then comes the fork Nf4+ and the queen falls. Like a Monday except that you have to sacrifice a bishop instead of the queen.      Dec-13-22 Saric vs A Galkin, 2007    speleman: The diagonal b8-h2 looks very dangerous for white so the opening move e4 is promising. Now Ne2+ puts the white queen in jeopardy. White can save the queen by Qe3 with the loss of a bishop. Game won for black.      Dec-06-22 F Bohatirchuk vs N Kopaev, 1938    speleman: Beautiful! Mate in three using only minor pieces. 24. Nxe6, Bxg3 25. Ne7+, Kh8 26. Bxg7#      Apr-06-22 S Safin vs M Ali, 2001    speleman: The open f file immediately invites a rook sacrifice, Rxf7, with a zugzwang. Quite easy for a Wednesday.      Apr-10-20 S P Sethuraman vs J Zhou, 2017    speleman: Agree with <Brenin>. 13..Ne7 seems to be a mistake. After 13..gxf3 14. Qxf3 Nb8, 15. d4 Nbd7 black has time to build up defence around the king.
