From Vichy, France, 2000. Position after 20 moves of play. Key word is ”harmony”. White’s game has lots of it, while Black’s pieces are still trying to sort themselves out and complete development.
Especially, the White Knight on f5 is awesome! I wonder if anyone ever did a study on how many times White was allowed to place a Knight on f5 and won as a direct consequence? So, I won’t have to give you a tip….
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!

From Las Vegas right after Xmas! Position after 27 moves. White had just played the tricky 27.Ne7+ Now White should simply take the Bishop on c6: 28.NxB! PxN and now 29.Rfb1! followed by taking the c6-pawn. Black would not be able to answer 29.Rfb1 with 29…Ra8 as after 30.Qxc6! White will answer Black taking on a1 with31.QxR(e8) with the upperhand.
INSTEAD, WHITE RUSHED THINGS:
28.Rfb1??
BLACK TO PLAY AND WIN ATLEAST A PIECE!
