im Ali Marandi, Cemil (2422)
World Junior Khanty-Mansiysk 2015.9.6 Position after 25 moves. Black had just played 24…Qf2, trying (too late) to take the sting out of White’s attack along the g-file…
WHITE TO PLAY AND MATE IN 6 MOVES!

Riding,Christopher
42nd North Shore Open Auckland NZL 2015.9.20 Position after Black’s 32nd move (32…Qf6). A curious position. Had Black played 32…Bc7 then the game would have been about equal. Now, however, Black is lost!
WHITE TO PLAY AND CRUSH!

Lyall,Simon (1772)
Krstev,A (2068)
42nd North Shore Open Auckland NZL 2015.9.19 Position after White’s 23rd move (23.Bf2; trying to prevent the sacrifice on g3; 23.Rf2! was correct , with a fine game) Isn’t it remarkable how one little imprecision can bring the house down on you!
BLACK TO PLAY AND CRUSH!
