 I still havent seen a computer find the move here even if it takes several
days. The move is correct because white is already holpless in all variations. I
tried autoplaying with long time control, both computers cant understand black
is winning, but all the games black ended up winning.


[D]r3r1k1/pp1q1p2/2p2npb/PPPp1bnp/3PpN2/2N1P1PP/1R1B1PBK/3Q1R2 b - - 0 19

Nikolic - Fischer 1968

The key move is 19 - Bg4!!


The next Diagram was mentioned in Kasparov's My Predesessors, Kasparov said no
computer can find the move here.


[D]2r2rk1/pp3pp1/4bb1p/q2p1P1Q/3P4/2N5/PP4PP/1K1R1B1R b - - 0 17

Pillsbury - Lasker 1896

Key move 17 - Rxc3!!


The next one here involves early sacrifice in the opening, there's no forcing
line, just for iniative. This became the best played game in one of the  1990
Informator.


[D]rn1qk1nr/1b3ppp/p2b4/3p4/P1pP4/5N2/2PNBPPP/R1BQ1RK1 w kq - 0 11

Geller - Dreev 1990

Key move 11. Bxc4!!


Next one here people might already mentioned this to you, but just in case no
one mentioned it, I'll post it here because its too good to miss.

[D]8/8/4kpp1/3p1b2/p6P/2B5/6P1/6K1 b - - 0 47

Topalov - Shirov 1998

Key move 47 - Bh3!!
