Thanks

I have been able to find a (long) list of such games

Thanks

you already mentioned this tutorial in an earlier post

i have it openned but still fighting ...

Hello

a colleague has Cb17 and I ma trying to follow your suggestions

i) i go to filter list
ii) then on the first window i choose B03
iii) then i click on advanced and then on manouvres

but then ia m lost on how to put in the insert/new column, "bRe?-e3xB" or something similar.

any suggestions?

tks,

I will see what I can do about getting you a file of all the games that feature ...Rxe3 soon!

Hi Tony

thanks; by the way I think you were one of the persons that try to help the last time I posted this

here is some recollections (which I am not sure whether it is memory playing tricks)

i) a few days ago I had a look at 365chess data base and I think it was there, a long time ago, that I saw this game.
The format of the data base is updated but I recall some similarities between today and the time I saw this.
But at the time it was a data base with not many games.
Thus, it was a game of someone well known.

ii) to be honest and seeing Tony's post I cannot guarantee that white played fxe3 and Qxe3 (yes i saw some such games - see below)

iii) i tried to see "by hand" some games in chessbase and found two games (one with unknown players the other with A. Ramirez playing Black). The situation was like this
White had a rook on c1, a bishop on 3, king still in e1 and
the kingside bishop and knight have already moved (perhaps in d3 and f3 respectively). Black has a bishop on e7 and a rook on e8. Black plays Bg5 pinning the bishop.
White plays 0-0 and then Black plays Rxe3, fxe3,bxe3+ followed by BxRc1
I am not sure if it was not a similar game (idea), since the game i remember was earlier than the game by Alejandro

but in the idea described above, the exchange is only temporary since it is regained two moves later;
I thought (might be wrong) it was a "positional" sacrifice

iv) Tony, would it be possible to make a fie of games found?

Thanks, 

Same here, only running CB12.
From the tuto link, something like "bRe?-e3xB" searches for "black Rook coming from the e file takes a Bishop on e3". Hopefully, someone with chessbase15+ can try that

since Chessbase 15 (2019), there is a 'Search expert mode' where you can ask such things. See the link: https://en.chessbase.com/post/fun-and-instructive-the-new-search-mask-in-chessba...
They demonstrate how to search for Bxh7+. Can't run chessbase from work, alas.
