Note that I have seen possibly 10% of the games and there may easily be many
other good shots. I'll see if I can look, but in the meantime, here are a couple
of nice shots. See how your engine does.



[D]2r1k2r/1b2bpQ1/p2ppp1p/2q5/1p2PP2/P1NB4/1PP3PP/1K1R3R b k - 0 18

(Gambit Fruit 4bx - Rybka "ST"; game 18.1)

The move here is 18...bxa3!

The next diagram screams for a shot

[D]6r1/3b1p1k/2ppq1rb/4p2p/PPP1Pn2/2Q2P2/4NB1P/3RRB1K b - - 0 33

(Fruit 2.2 - Rybka "ST"; game 40.1)

and sure enough there are two!

Rybka found 33...Rg2! a winner by all means, but further analysis shows that
33...h4! is also a clear winner.
