Veselin
Topalov vs. Alexey Dreev
White has nasty threats (1.Rxf7+, 1.Nd6, 1.Qg6,
1.Bf3 etc), so in desperation black played
a sequence of moves which cost him a rook:
1..d3 2.Qxd3 Ne5 3.Nxe5 Qb6+ 4.Rf2 Bxe5
5.Qf3 f5 6.Qxa8+ and white won quickly.

Viswanathan
Anand vs. Bartolomiej Macieja
White has lined his pieces up for an attack:
1.Bxf6 gf 2.Bxe6! fe 3.Qxe6+ cleaning
up black's kingside completely and forcing
black's resignation in a few moves with mating
threats. |

Vladislav
Tkatchiev vs. Alexander Morozevich
White played 1.Qb2. Instead of playing
the natural 1..Nxc3, black decided to lose
a pawn: 1..e6? 2.Nxb5 Qb6 3.Ra5 for
which he had no compensation. |
