| whitebeach: Oops, sorry, Bish. Didn't notice you'd already mentioned 16. Nf1. Past my bedtime. |

| whitebeach: <centralfiles>: Just looked back at this, and yes, thanks for the correck. Even after all these years I still screw up the scoresheet. I think it comes from growing up with one notation system and switching to another later in life. Or quite possibly I would screw up in any |

Feb-27-10 Glek vs J Hector, 1995
| |
| whitebeach: Me too. My first and really only thought was 44 . . . b4, but what bothered me about it wasn't 45. d7+ but 45. Nc4. I'm too sleepy to analyze it, though, and if the annotator didn't mention it, it's probably not the move. |

Feb-25-10 R G Hegde vs S Palatnik, 1988
| |
| whitebeach: dzechiel and jessica--If the old boy has never played blindfold, this is the time to try it. But mainly, recover soon. And yeah, 59 . . . Bg7. |

Feb-23-10 S Horrocks vs G Mancini, 2010
| |
| whitebeach: 32 . . . Bd1 is one of those intuitive moves, by which I mean you don't have to parse all the variations, you just know the minute you see it that it wins. |

Feb-07-10 J Sloth vs W N Watson, 1991
| |
| whitebeach: I spent some time trying to figure out a way to get the dark-square bishop into play, then finally saw that the open rook file was the key to the game. Then I pretty much found the line--the N sac, the rook check, the queen penetration after the exchange sac--but I never saw the ... |

Feb-01-10 Tal vs Koblents, 1965
| |
| whitebeach: The strangest thing is why Koblentz played it out to mate. Was he in deep time trouble so soon? Was he simply in shock? Was he perhaps hitting the vodka a little early? I hope he at least didn't waste too much time thinking over his last move. I remember a guy at the Marshall ... |

Jan-28-10 N Kosolapov vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1936
| |
| whitebeach: The game continuation is cute and faster, but 22 . . . Ng3+ also forces mate and probably should count as a solve. |

Jan-27-10 Kasimdzhanov vs H Hofstra, 2004
| |
| whitebeach: <redmaninaustin> Yeah, it did seem a little easy for midweek, but even more so, it was easy in a sort of knock-down-the-dominoes way. After this move, that move, etc., right up to the end, with no way to go off the track. |

Jan-24-10 Short vs Ljubojevic, 1991
| |
| whitebeach: <stacase: I was move for move until 29 Bh6, I would have moved 29 g5. Black's Bishop would be toast and the White Queen would just power on through!> But black at this point is a piece ahead and can let the bishop be toast, butter, and jam if he wishes. I haven't analyzed ... |
