    Thanks Wayne for finding this and sharing and thanks Timur for the ideas. In the first game e5 and e6 turns the position into dynamite and 27.g3 provokes Black into getting his knight trapped.

    Timur’s Tactics

    August 19, 2019

    From David Hater at Chess Life Online:

    GM Timur Gareyev scored a perfect 6-0 in the 2019 Pacific Coast Open (July 18-20, Van Nuys, CA), earning $3, 100 for his sterling performance. Curiously, Gareyev probably could have made a draw (or two) on the last day and still taken clear first (and the same amount of money). When I raised this possibility with Gareyev, he said he was feeling good and simply wanted to play some good chess. Gareyev has annotated his two critical fifth and sixth round wins exclusively for CLO.

    The two games:

    https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2019...lashvili_David What would you play on move 21 for white? I would certainly want to play e5 to bypass the attack on the F-file instinctively (and try to make it work with analysis). Timur played 21.g3 opening up his kings position and his opponent showed him how to attack the king. Nicely done! (by his opponent)

    https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2019...-Gareyev_Timur Grandmaster chess is hard. I could give naive commentary on this game but I wont. Basically Timur saw the idea with the most interesting play for Black (a4 and Rxa4) but missed something in the calculation of the lines involved. The position is very complex but Whte must be better. Having said that enjoy what Timur missed (remove the defender with Rxb7 and after Rxa2, the kamikaze queen strikes Qxd4!, Qxb7 and then Qxc4! because of the pin Bg2 - d5 - Qb7

    https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2019...schenkov_Denis For a while I was pondering 21...Nb4 in reply to Qd3. The reply Qxh7+ woke me up. After Kxh7 23.Nf6 discovered double check winning back the queen takes away all of black's threats. Thats why the computers suggestion of 21...Bxe5 suddenly makes sense. If 22.dxe5 then Nb4 and the attack works out wonderfully for black. So 21.Qd3 was a careless error allowing the Bxe5 shot.
    At the end of the game Rxf8 is a simple remove the defender tactic.

    https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2019...-Gareyev_Timur Black walks his king across the board in the late middlegame and that sets up checkmate themes. It would have completed the picture if Black would have played 41...Ke3! and then the two rooks would have coordinated better. Use the king well as an attacking piece!

    https://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2019...-Gareyev_Timur This game has an incredible number of tactical themes. Basically whites opening development is slow allowing black's active pieces inroads. On move 25 a queen sacrifice is offered by black, which if accepted will lead to passivity of all whites remaining pieces.
