| wilfredo munoz: <Ulhumbrus>, I see your point. So's 10 ... Rf6 was a little odd. Did he see his Rook-Bishop teamup (inter alia) ripping White's K-side open? I really want to know the behind-the-scenes, so to speak. But these things, given my very limited exposure to top level chess, ... |

Dec-14-16 Negi vs So, 2003
| |
| wilfredo munoz: Should Black refrain from taking the Knight and instead played 33 ... Qf6, the Black K would then be survived by his R, B & two pawn islands through 34 Rf3 & 35 Rh3, provided Black plays Qxh6. Mate in 10 is realized after 34 ... Qe7 35 Nf7+ Kg8 36 Qd5 Qe2+ 37 Kb3 Rf8 38 Ng5+ ... |

| wilfredo munoz: Besides 54 ... Kc8 in the puzzle above, Black can try 54 ... Kd7 which will be answered with 55 Be6+ Kc6 (Kxd6 loses to 56 Bf7+) 56 Qe7, preparing Qc7# with a strong followup in case Black's Q gets snobbish. |

| wilfredo munoz: Hi, <Sally Simpson>! The position: 8/8/8k7/8/2R4R/1p1p3K/8.fen was shown to me by a friend's acquaintance at FB. According to him White, who is to move, wins. I tried solving it many times but still reached a drawn game via perpetual Q checks. He insists that W wins the |
