Subject: reversals of fortune

Here's a couple of nice games. First one is Arasan vs. torque (Bringer 1.9) on
ICC. Arasan was getting killed on the Queen side but managed to shift its pieces
over and start a kingside attack:

40. Kd3 Qf2 41. c3 e4+ 42. Kxe4 Re8+ 0-1 {torque resigns}

I think Bringer played inaccurate defense. Arasan expected Qf1 instead of 29.
Ng3.

And here is a loss vs. Phalanx (played off-line). White is forced to lose a
Knight for a pawn .. but the pawn opens up lines to Black's king, which is soon
surrounded:
