POSITIONS TO REMEMBER:
POSITION 1:
mandeo-Foxconn_Mars
(last black's move was 31..e5-e4)
32.Nd2?,Bxc3 33.Nxc4,Bxb4 34.Kf1,Kf8 35.Ke2=
but in this position white could play 32.b5!exf3 33.b6 and win the game quickly ...

POSITION 2:
stayoutoftherz-Foxconn_Mars
(last black's move was 20...Rf8-c8) White played here, of course, 21.Qd2.
We play the human chess but the best and the only engine's move in this position is 21.Qxc8+!,Bxc8 22.Rxc8+,Ne8 23.Nc6,Qd7 24.Bxd6,g6 25.Be5,Kh7 26.Ba6,h5 27.Kf2,f6 28.Bb8,Kh6 29.b5 and according to the engine analysis ..the black is completely paralyzed!

stayoutoftherz-Foxconn_Mars
How bad black is this position. As I did not try to improve the situation, whites still won the elephant sacrifice
How could you miss this simple variation. It was a mate in 34 moves only :-)))
It’s been quiet everywhere this past weekend!
