| KFitzgerald: It has been a while since I've done the puzzle, but I immediately saw this one. I like Queen sacs for the win. |

Oct-31-08 J Molina vs A Schwartzman, 1934
| |
| KFitzgerald: I got the first two moves, after playing;
26 ... ♖xe4
27 dxe4 ♖xe4
28 ♕f3 ....
I wanted to play;
28 ... ♗e5 +
I can now see that would not have been good enough, but I believe that white would have a hard time after that none the less. |

27 exd6 ♖e1+
28 ♔f2 ♗h4# |

Oct-29-08 Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999
| |
| KFitzgerald: <slomarko> that was funny. LOL. <idontgetit> I am guessing that 29...♖d6 would have been followed by; 30 ♔b2 ♕c4
31 ♕b3+ ♕xb3
32 cxb3#
see http://medlem.spray.se/tal0/replay/... for annotation by Kasparov. |

Oct-29-08 P Lyrberg vs R Irzhanov, 1992
| |
| KFitzgerald: I tried a couple of different combinations starting with ♗e3 and ♘f3+ but they kept getting complicated. So I thought let's look at the ♕ sac. And it was surprising how easy that was. Made me wonder why I did not try that first. <Nullifidian thanks so much ... |

Oct-27-08 Lasker / Maroczy vs NN, 1900
| |
| KFitzgerald: Nice and easy Monday puzzle. It took several seconds to see that if the white ♕ could reach the g8 square, where she would be protected by the ♘f6 and it would be mate after the recapture by the ♖g1. |
