Jul-06-25 Swiercz vs V Kunin, 2009
|
vajeer: Puzzle is straightforward. But this game is a remindwr of how chess is unforgiving. 29. Be3?? loses a drawn game in one move. |

Jul-05-25 E Sedina vs S Tqeshelashvili, 2003 
|
vajeer: Felt like Wednesday level.
<An Englishman:Black has no checks, even with the wide open position.> exactly my feeling! |

Jul-02-25 D H Fernandez vs J Jackson, 2014 
|
vajeer: Actually the very first deflection comes from 31. d7
At least CG should have started the puzzle there for Wednesday level. |

Jun-28-25 O Cvitan vs S Terzic, 1989 
|
vajeer: After 28...Qd5 29. Kh2 SF suggests 29...Qb7.
[DIAGRAM] I also tried 29...Ra7 where game may continue as
30. Qh8+ Ke7 31. Bf6+ Kd7 32. Qxd8+ Kc6 33. Qc8+
[DIAGRAM] Now black must play Rc7 allowing white to capture the knight on a5. Eval by engine +4.4 |

Jun-15-25 C Aravindh vs X Xu, 2025
|
vajeer: Black started to commit small errors from 16...Re8 onward. 16...h6 or 16...Nc6 would have been better. |

Jun-13-25 E S Jackson vs Denker, 1934 
|
vajeer: I went with Rxb2 also. It's winning but Qf5+ is better. |

Jun-06-25 Hromadka vs K Treybal, 1912 
|
vajeer: Saw 25.Rxf7 Bxg3 26.Rxg7+ Kh8 27.Rxg3
Was happy with whites's position at this point. Black rook has no good spots on the back rank really as the SF analysis and the game text shows. In desperation(from black's perspective) I tried 27...a5
[DIAGRAM]
White now wins after 28.Bg7+ ... |

May-31-25 Pachman vs Uhlmann, 1966 
|
vajeer: 21. Rxc4 Qxc4 22. Rc1 Qa4 23. Nxe6 plays out itself. From here is the difficult part, especially over the board. |
