this is a sign has kibitzed 7 times to chessgames

Jul-22-12 Mamedyarov vs Karjakin, 2010    this is a sign: Hahah, what's going on here?      Jul-22-12 T Sachdev vs Vocaturo, 2011   this is a sign: Qd1+ is a spite check. There's no way to stave off mate here      Jul-13-12 H Schlemm vs S Wranay, 1872    this is a sign: <Djoker> 15..Kf4 16. Bg5+ and white checkmates on the next move.      Jun-22-12 A Sundin vs Erik Andersson, 1964    this is a sign: Beautiful end position!      Apr-07-10 Van der Sterren vs Timman, 1981    this is a sign: I got this too. But didn't see the winning combination. It just seemed like the only move :)      Apr-04-10 Smyslov vs K Grigorian, 1976    this is a sign: <21. Rxf6> jumps right out. But then it gets a little complicated. I initially went with <22. Rf1+> but that doesn't go anywhere after <22... Ke7 23. Bg5+ Ke8>. After that the only reasonable move I could see was <Qg4>, which leads to a forced mate in ...      Apr-02-10 Smyslov vs C Kottnauer, 1946    this is a sign: I came up with <18...dxc5 19.Rxd7 Rxd7 20.Ra8 Qxa8 21.Qxa8+ Ke7 22.Qf3>. Obviously, this is not a winning line (more like draw-ish) but it's the closest I came to solving a difficult Friday puzzle. :)
