   May-26-25 Alekhine vs I Pen, 1918 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: Why didn’t black just trade queens with <19.. Qxc3>? He’s up an exchange so should have a winning endgame?
 
   Apr-19-25 N Shukh vs V Fedoseev, 2011
 
alexrawlings: I don’t understand why white didn’t grab a pawn with 24 Bxf7… I can’t see any tactics nor can my chess app.
 
   Jan-08-25 B Chesney vs K Kaufman, 1987
 
alexrawlings: I think black in this game was in fact Larry Kaufman, the GM… ? https://www.uschess.org/index.php/O...
 
   Dec-28-24 L Moroni Jr vs McShane, 2024 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: 17.. Rxe3 was an interesting move. Can anyone explain the thinking behind this move? Also, 39.. Nf3+ could make a good puzzle one day!
 
   Oct-15-24 A Perez Garcia vs Granda Zuniga, 2016
 
alexrawlings: What a game! Granda Zuniga plays such entertaining chess. I wonder if <14.. Rxe3> was sound?
 
   Oct-15-24 Granda Zuniga vs R Alarcon Bahamondez, 2016
 
alexrawlings: What a brilliant game! Could make a good later in the week puzzle with white to move after <22.. Nh8>.
 
   Oct-02-24 S Vokhidov vs J Cori, 2015 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: What a great game! I didn’t get this… seems quite unusual for Black not to castle in this type of Sicilian. Is that theory or sound?
 
   Sep-12-24 M A Maurizzi vs S Beukema, 2024 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: Can anyone explain why black didn’t play <20... Kh8>? It looks to me like that would have given black a winning advantage as white will end up losing the rook on a1. Or am I missing something?
 
   Jul-19-24 A Kveinys vs Van Wely, 1994 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: Could anybody explain the logic behind white’s moves <26 h4>, <28 h5>, and the king moves <29 Kg1> and <30 Kh2> please?
 
   Jul-08-24 H Kues vs T Burg, 2012 (replies)
 
alexrawlings: Can anyone explain why black plays <25.. Bc8> please? It seems an unnecessary move to me. Is it a waiting move? Or is there another logical reason to retreat the bishop to the back rank like this?
