I think that you know that Russian players, be they IMs or GMs, in the 2550 ELO ballpark, are tactically the best in the world. The positions you quoted are way too simple for a good Russian player. Shaposnikov a cheater? No way... at least in my opinion. Ask any serious GM what chess school is supposed to be the best of all, especially in tactics? The Knight to f5 is "easy" to see as it frees the black Bishop diagonal and enables Black to eventually open up the g-file... The other example was not very clear to me. What is so special about 1.f4? Why was it difficult to find? The whole thing sounds quite muddled to me, I must say. I would like to hear more evidence. Djordje
