Round 2 of the Kenilworth Chess Club Championship saw a lot of tactical fireworks, both on and off the board. It is often difficult to find the most forcing lines with the clock ticking and nothing written under the diagram saying "White to play and win." In Mike Wojcio's game against Ari Minkov, for instance, there were at least half a dozen missed opportunities on Mike's part (I've diagrammed the two cutest) before Ari finished the game with a nice combination (see second diagram above). You can play over the games in a java applet or download the PGN file.
