A new collection of eight new games, the first being a very nice sacrifice that gives an overwhelming pawns attack:

Cramling,P (2521) - Socko,M (2464) [E60]
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (5), 28.07.2006

White can play now a very nice move: 60.Bxf5! gxf5 61.Nxf5+ Kh8 62.Ke4 Nc2 63.Ra4 Nd4 64.Nxe7 Ne2 65.Ra1 wins.

Instead White chose another way to win, maybe less spectacularly...

60.Kd2 Rf8  61.Ra4 Nc7 62.Ra7 Nba6 63.Rb7 Rh8  64.h6+ Kf8 65.Bf1 Ke8 66.b4 cxb4 67.c5 Kd8 68.Bxa6 Nxa6 69.Rb6 dxc5 70.Rxa6 Kc7 71.Rc6+ Kb7 72.Rxc5 Ra8 73.Rb5+ Kc7 74.Rxb4 Ra3 75.Ke2 1–0
 

Morozevich,A (2731) - Bruzon,L (2667)
GM Biel SUI (6), 30.07.2006

Now it is Black’s turn to play his 35^th move.  Good moves are, for example, ...Bf5  or ...Ke6 or ...Qb5 and Black keeps the draw.

Black chose 35... Qe4  but missed the following:  36.Qh5+ Ke6 37.Qxa5 Qb1  38.Rg7 Rh1+ 39.Kg3 Qd3+ 40.f3 Qb5 41.Re7+ Kf5 42.Qc7 1–0
 

Bruzon,L (2667) - Volokitin,And (2662)
GM Biel SUI (7), 31.07.2006

After 40 moves the game reached:

Black could make a nice move, but the 40^th move is tricky, and who knows how many seconds he had to think?  Maybe he just did the first move that he found.  Anyway:

40...Qg6 41.Qd1 f3 42.Ng3 e4 43.Re1 Bxb2 44.Rc4 Qg5 45.Bc2 Rxd6;

Or:  40...Qg6 41.Qf3 e4 42.Qh3 Bxb2 43.Rc4 Rxd6 44.Rb1 Be5, and I think that Black is better in both variations.

40... Rxd6  41.Nxg7 Qxg7 42.f3 e4 43.fxe4 Rg6 44.Rc6 Rg3 45.Rf3 Rg8 46.Rxg3 fxg3 47.Qe3 Qxb2 48.d6 Bxe4 49.Qxh6+ Bh7 50.Rc1 Qf2+  and a draw was agreed at move 79.
 

Atalik,E (2377) - Skripchenko,A (2421)
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (3), 26.07.2006

Black could play  24...Rc8 25.Qg3 Rxc1 26.Rxc1 h4 27.Qf3 Qd8 and White is better, but the move she chose loses almost instantly:

24... Nh7 25.Nxd4 exd4 26.Nf5+ gxf5 27.Qg3+ Kf6 28.Rc6 Bxc6 29.Qxd6+ Kg7 30.Bh6+ Kg8 31.Qg3+ 1–0 and mate in a few moves.
 

Muzychuk,A (2456) - Dembo,Y (2465)
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (4), 27.07.2006

Black played 24...Ne7 and the game quickly ended as a draw.  25.g4 Ng8 26.Nc3 h5 27.Qe2 f4 28.Bd2 Bf6 29.Nd5 Bd8 30.Ra1 g5 31.Rh1 Nh6 ½–½

How could Black play in order to get real chances to the whole point?  24...fxe4 and possible continuations are:  25.dxe4 bxa5 26.Qxa5 Nb6 27.Qc3 Kg8 28.Qd3 Kh8 29.Bd2 g5; or 25.fxe4 Rxf1 26.Rxf1 Rxf1 27.Kxf1 Qxh3+ 28.Ke1 h5 29.axb6 axb6
 

Skripchenko,A (2421) - Muzychuk,A (2456)
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (5), 28.07.2006

Here White played 17.Bf4 but could play the nice tactical move 17.Rxe7+ Qxe7 18.Re1 Qxe1+ (otherwise 18...Qd8 19.b4 Kb8 20.bxc5 Nxd5 21.Nc6+ Bxc6 22.Qb2+ ) 19.Qxe1 Nxd5 20.Qa5+ and White is much better.

17...Kb6 18.b4 Nxd5 19.bxc5+ Ka7

20.Rxe7

Now this move is not so strong as it was on move 17.  There are now two nice possibilities – in both White should win:

20.Qb3 dxc5 21.Rab1 Nb4 22.Qxf7 Qd5 23.Qxd5 Nxd5 24.Be4; or

20.Qf3 dxc5 21.Rab1 Nb4 22.Be4 Bxe4 23.Qxe4 cxd4 24.Qxe7+ Qxe7 25.Rxe7+ Kb6 26.Rxb4+

20...Qxe7 21.Qa5 Rac8 22.Bxd6 Qf6 23.c6 Rxc6 24.Nxc6+ Ka8

White could still win: 25.Rd1 Qxd6 26.Be4 Rc8 27.Bxd5 Rxc6 28.Qd2 g6 29.Bxc6 Qxc6 30.Qd8+ Ka7 31.Qd4+ Qb6 and the endgame is better for White.

25.Be5 Qxc6 26.Be4 now the game is drawn; the last chances were Rd1 or f3 Re8 27.Bxd5 Qxd5 28.Qxd5 Bxd5 29.Bd4 Re4 30.Be3 Bb3 31.a5 Ra4 32.Rxa4 ½–½
 

Socko,M (2464) - Dembo,Y (2465)
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (6), 30.07.2006

White is a pawn down, and can try two moves:

39.c6 Bc2 40.Bd2 Bf5 41.Bc3 Rb3 42.Bxf6+ Kxf6 43.Qh4+; or

39.d6 exd6 40.Bf4 Qd7 41.c6 Qc7 42.Qe4 Bb3 43.Qd3 Be6 44.Bxd6

White is still inferior, but has a good chance to survive.

39.Rb1  Rxb1 40.Qxb1 Qg3 41.Qb4 Be5 42.Bg1 Bd7 43.c6

Here Black had a nice tactical move:

43...Bf5 44.Qxe7 g5 and mate follows quickly, as the white queen is blocked.

43...Qg5

Now Black has only a better endgame, and still a lot of work to do.

44.Bf2 Bf5 45.Kg1 Qc1+ 46.Qe1 Qxe1+ 47.Bxe1 Bc7 48.Bb4 Kf8 49.Kf2 h5 50.Ke3 h4 51.Be2 Bc8 52.Bd2 g5 53.Kf2 f6 54.Bb4 Bb6+ 55.Kf1 a5 56.Bc3 Bc7 57.Bd4 Bf5 58.Kf2 Be4 59.Bf3 Bxf3 60.Kxf3 f5 61.Be3     g4+ 62.Ke2 f4 63.Bc5 a4 64.Kf1 Kf7 65.Bf2   h3 66.gxh3 gxh3 67.Bc5 f3 68.Kg1 Kf6 69.Bf2  Kf5 70.Kh1 Ke4 71.d6 Bxd6 72.Bb6 Kd5 73.c7 Bxc7 74.Bxc7 f2 0–1
 

Muzychuk,A (2456) - Atalik,E (2377)
Accentus Ladies Biel SUI (6), 30.07.2006

I think that Black is better now, for example:  27...Bg2 28.Kf2 Ng5 29.Bxg5 Bxf1 30.Rxf1 Qg2+ 31.Ke1 Rxg5 32.e6 fxe6 33.fxe6 Ba5+ 34.Kd1 and after the queens exchange Black is better.

27...Ng5   28.Bxg5 Rxg5 29.Rf2 Rhg8 30.Re1 Qa6 31.b3 Ba5 32.Ref1 Ba8 33.Nf4 Bc3 34.Qd3 Qh6 35.Nd5 Re8 36.Re2 Qa6 37.Rf3 Rd8 38.e6 fxe6 39.fxe6 Bxd5 40.cxd5 Qxd3 41.Rxd3

Black is still better or at least even, playing now 41...Re8 42.Re4 Rxd5 43.Ne2 Rg5+ 44.Kh1 Rf8 or  41...Rdg8 42.e7 Kd7 43.Rf3 Ke8 44.Kf1 Rxd5

41...Rgxd5

But this moves begins to change the balance.

42.Ne4 Rg8+ 43.Rg3 Re8 44.Nxc3 dxc3 45.Rxc3 Rh5 46.Kf2 Kb7 47.e7 Kb6 48.Re6+

Now comes the crucial mistake.  Playing ...c6 or ...Kb7 could still hold the game.

48... Kb5 49.Rd3 Rhh8 50.Kf3 Rhg8 51.Kf4 Rg7 52.Rd7 c6 53.Kf5 Rf7+ [54.Kg6 Rf2 55.Rd8 Rxe7 56.Rxe7 Rxh2 57.Rb8+ 1–0
