Tania Sachdev vs Melanie Lubbe from Istanbul 2012 is the best endgame-technique example. The conversion reaches a rook-and-king race where activity and accuracy matter. Use the 56.Kg6 diagram and replay slowly.

Richard Rapport vs Tania Sachdev from Gibraltar 2014 is the best resilience example. It is a very long draw against a 2691-rated creative player and shows defensive stamina. Use the elite-resistance group when you want a deep replay session.

Study Tania Sachdev vs F Alinoori by tracing how a normal isolated-pawn structure becomes a direct king attack. The key lesson is that forcing moves matter more than material once the king is exposed. Use the 29.Bh7 diagram before replaying the full game.

Study David Smerdon vs Tania Sachdev by watching how Black turns White’s kingside advance into counterplay. The final tactic works because Black’s queen and pawns coordinate around loose white pieces. Use the 34...gxf4 diagram and then replay from the start.

A good deep plan is Rapport, Marin, Lubbe and Fataliyeva. That set covers long defence, endgame balance, Olympiad conversion and a passed-pawn race. Use the replay lab optgroups rather than jumping randomly between games.

Rapport vs Sachdev is included because it is a long draw against a very high-rated creative opponent. Even without a win, it teaches endurance, practical defence and endgame resourcefulness. Use it when you want a slow replay rather than a quick tactic.
