|
vaskokibika: I really liked 40.Bh6 and spend some time to make it work, but I am still unsure. For example 40.Bh6 Bxh6 41.Qh5+ Kg8 42.Qxh6 |

Jul-24-10 S Estremera Panos vs L Cisneros Belenguer, 1991

vaskokibika: I like my solution:
38. Qh6 (thematic)
[DIAGRAM]
with the threat Kf2, Rh1 |

Jan-13-10 V Gashimov vs Kotronias, 2010
|
vaskokibika: I think 4...d4 in your variation is simpler |

Jul-25-09 Dautov vs Krasenkow, 2002 
|
vaskokibika: <TimPemberton>: what after 27Qh3?
I think just 27...Kxc7
28. Qg3+ Bd6
29. Qxf2 Rhf8
with easy win for black. |

OTB I would play my line:
20. Nc7 Rb8
21. f4 Rf5
22. Nd5 Qxc3
23. Ne7+ Kh8
24. bxc3 Rf6
25. Rd8 |

May-31-09 Shirov vs Fressinet, 2004 
|
vaskokibika: OK, is there a living human that calculates this till the end? I still think this is mostly intuitive sacrifice. |

May-28-09 B H Wood vs F Parr, 1950 
|
vaskokibika: 21...Rg2 is obvious. The problem was to find correct continuation.
I select 22...f3+
For example: 23.Bxf3 Qh3 24.Kg1 Bg4 25.Bg2 Bf3
[DIAGRAM] Or 23.Kh1 Qg4 24.Rg1 f3xe2 25.Rxg4 e1Q+ 26.Rg1 Qe4+ and Bh3, Rg8 and won pawn ending

May-27-09 M Apicella vs C Bauer, 2003 
|
vaskokibika: I am not very sure 27...g6 is an improvement. White may play 28.Bc5
[DIAGRAM] Also, maybe the puzzle should start one move earlier |
