Groningen Open 2014.12.22 Tiviakov, Sergei–Senders, Mischa: 26.Qg4+! 1-0 Nice finesse!  If the King takes the Rook then Qh4+ picks up the Queen.  Otherwise, 26…Kh7 27.Qh4! amounts to the same thing.

Groningen Open 2014.12.22  Zuiderweg, Edwin–Burcu, Cagatay:  22…Rxe2! 23.Bxe2 Bd4+ 24.Rf2 Qg3! and it is all over! While White’s pieces are sleeping on the Queenside, the Kingside caves in.  The game continued: 25.Raf1 Nf4 26.Kh1 Bxf2 0-1

Groningen Open 2014.12.22  Rubingh, Otto–Keetman, Maaike:  29…Qxf1+!   1-0  It is mate on the back rank after 30.KxQ Bxc4 dbl+ and 31…Rf1++

Groningen Open 2014.12.23 Brandenburg, Daan–Mohammad Nubairshah Shaikh:  25.Rxd7+!Rxd7 26.Bxe6+!  The point of White’s little combination 26…Kxe6 27.Qc4+ Ke7 28.Bb4+ Rd6 29.Rd1 Kf8 30.exd6 Bd8 31.Qe6 Ra4 32.d7+ Ne7 33.Ne5 1-0
