IMlday: 3..Nc6? and 4..Ne5?? loses a piece. 6..Ne5 7.Bf4 is a symmetrical mangle, either ..f6 8.Bxe5 and Qh5+ or ..d6 8.Bxe5 and Bb5+, either way crushing. Luckily after 6..e6 there were some complex technical problems and White got into time trouble.

IMlday: [DIAGRAM]
(1746) Mate in 2 by S. Zimmermann, 1894.
The solution to 1745: 1.Qc8.
Game was Roussel-Roozmon vs Charbonneau, Montreal '08. Notes gave also Ftacnik-Cvitan '98 with a pretty mate. Both scores are in the CG database.

IMlday: Sorry wrong numbers. I meant 20.Qxc6 Bd4 21.e5 Bd5 22.e6 Rxf2 etc which favours Black.

IMlday: The big mistakes were 7..Nd7 letting the  stay on the board and 18..Bg4 losing the exchange where 18..Bg6 might still hold.

IMlday: This was from the 1959 Candidates not the 1961 tournament at Bled where they drew. Keres vs Tal, 1959

IMlday: I loved this grand battle. Black's defence looks like something Suttles would have played. 12.Bxh6!? changes the complexion to a roughly balanced positional struggle featuring a hefty blockade at f4. 25.h4!? declines the gambit a-pawn. 25..Ne6!? was an interesting option. Time flies.

IMlday: It looks like 20..Bf8 is a TN improving on 20..Nh7.

IMlday: <Jesspatrick> 17.Qd2 was probably best to deny Black use of the h6 square. 17..Nc5 can be met with 18.Ra3 but after 18..Qb6 White has only a slight theoretical advantage. Later on 43..Kb6!? is a strong if impish play to win.
