Feb-25-23 A Ardeleanu vs D Bondoc, 1994    steinitzfan: I was able to see that taking the knight after Ng6 would lose for Black. But as far as proceeding against Ke8 or Kg8, that's too much for me.      Feb-13-23 A Hoffman vs D Pereyra Arcija, 1995    steinitzfan: I like the simplification. When I'm a couple of pawns up, generally I'll get as many pieces off the board as possible. The one-minute analysis from the provided engine shows no preference for the simplification. My guess is that engines just don't fear making blunders.      Feb-02-23 E M Jackson vs Flohr, 1929    steinitzfan: Very deep. There's a lot going on in those few moves. Wish't I could play like that.      Jan-31-23 Staunton - Morphy Match (1858)    steinitzfan: So how long until computers give us a set of virtual games that these players could have plausibly played at this time of their lives? Along with similar non-matches? Or am I the only person who would find such a thing interesting?      Dec-06-22 F Bohatirchuk vs N Kopaev, 1938    steinitzfan: This one was a lot of fun. After the queen sac moving the knight to f5 is about as good as the text. Although the variations are all very short after either of these moves, I found them surprisingly difficult. Not easy to see all the different ways that those minor pieces and ...      Nov-22-22 E Agrest vs Vitiugov, 2006   steinitzfan: Beautiful play. A lot of tactics and variations in that little space of moves.      Oct-22-22 Albin vs O Bernstein, 1904    steinitzfan: Odd. I didn't get it. I usually get Monday puzzles - even when they come up on Saturdays. I rejected Qf3 out of hand because I didn't think Black had the backup. Everybody knows that when you sacrifice on KB6 you have to go in a la Morphy with multiple bishop and rook checks to ...      Oct-20-22 A Reggio vs H Fahrni, 1905    steinitzfan: If this puzzle was stated as Black to play and draw, it would be easy. What's hard is seeing that candidate winning lines go nowhere. The temptation to bring that other rook or other bishop into play with tempo is very strong.      Oct-17-22 K Shanava vs I Cheparinov, 1995    steinitzfan: Interesting that when Stockfish analyzes the final position he doesn't have Black taking the knight. He can last longer a knight down than he can with those pawns split on the king side.      Sep-22-22 J H Donner vs C van den Berg, 1959    steinitzfan: This must be an easy Thursday. I was able to get it.      Sep-19-22 M Bezold vs Kharlov, 1992     Aug-29-22 D Malla vs W Kobese, 2006     Aug-26-22 S Vokarev vs G Prakken, 2000    Aug-08-22 W Springe vs H Gebhard-Elsass, 1927     Jul-26-22 Forintos vs L Prelovszky, 1967     Jul-25-22 B Rabar vs E Paoli, 1953     Jul-07-22 Dolmatov vs Lautier, 1991     May-10-22 O Maiorov vs R Bagirov, 2001     May-01-22 D Kadric vs A Jankovic, 2014     Apr-24-22 S Kiselev vs J Pribyl, 1995     Apr-14-22 B Lengyel vs N Adams, 2006    Apr-11-22 P Rejto vs E Schiller, 1983     Jan-17-22 Menchik vs Gruenfeld, 1929    Jan-12-22 A Grabinsky vs Shimanov, 2016     Dec-03-21 Landa vs S Shipov, 1998    Aug-10-21 M Roiz vs T Warakomski, 2005    May-16-21 B Socko vs Krasenkow, 2000     Mar-03-21 Balashov vs P Biyiasas, 1976     Feb-16-21 A Grosar vs M Jirovsky, 1991     Feb-01-21 K Burger vs C Lyon, 1952     Jan-27-21 A Korobov vs A Mithil, 2018     Jan-10-21 Fischer vs Spassky, 1972     Jan-01-21 Hodgson vs Adams, 1993     Mar-30-20 Korchnoi vs Z Doda, 1955    Nov-04-19 P Seuffert vs Blackburne, 1894     Sep-28-19 Israel Albert Horowitz     Sep-27-19 V Kovacevic vs Z Kozul, 1993     Jul-23-19 Seirawan vs Timman, 1990     Jun-17-19 A Hugaert vs B Gundavaa, 2009     Mar-04-19 Kramnik vs Aronian, 2009     Jul-30-18 S Volkov vs D Anikonov, 2016     Jun-19-18 J Salomon vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2017     Jun-02-18 S Zagrebelny vs N McDonald, 2000     Apr-27-18 Janowski vs L Didier, 1900     Apr-12-18 Potkin vs D Brandenburg, 2008     Mar-21-18 Karjakin vs D Frolyanov, 2013     Jan-24-18 Vogt vs G Kuzmin, 1971     Nov-29-17 A Schwarz vs Bird, 1873     Oct-09-17 Capablanca vs Manuel Augusto Molina, 1911     Sep-23-17 W Schmidt vs J Lewi, 1968     Jul-17-17 Flohr vs Bogoljubov, 1931     Jun-19-17 Van der Wiel vs J van Baarle, 1983     May-06-17 Morphy vs NN, 1855     Apr-22-17 Carlsen vs Y Yu, 2015     Mar-25-17 I Cheparinov vs M Drasko, 2007     Mar-12-17 I Nikolayev vs M Gregory, 2007     Mar-05-17 A Raykhman vs T Heinemann, 2016     Mar-01-17 A Korotylev vs Mamedyarov, 2007     Feb-21-17 R Krogius vs A Ojanen, 1944     Feb-05-17 Steinitz vs O Honegger / R Raubitsche, 1897     Feb-04-17 Spassky vs Averkin, 1973     Feb-01-17 Spassky vs Fischer, 1970     Jan-21-17 A Backlund vs J van Foreest, 2016     Dec-23-16 J van Foreest vs J Bai, 2015     Dec-21-16 V Soultanbeieff vs V I Borodin, 1943     Dec-14-16 Pillsbury -
