Solutions:
Dubai Open 2014.4.9: Swapnil, S.Marcos, Marvin: 31.Qxa8!! A typical sacrífice whenever a Pawn has reached the 7th rank. The 8th rank is deprived of an important defender. 31Rxa8 32.Rd8+! Qe8 There is no good alternative. 33.Rxe8+ Rxe8 34.Rd1 Bxe5 35.Rd8 1-0
Dubai Open 2014.4.8 Tabatabaei, MBogner, Sebastian: 30Rc8! Siezing the open file and threatening Rh3+. If now 31.Rf1 Rh3+ 32.Rh2 Rc2! ) ( or if instead 31.Kh2 Rg4! ) 31.e7 There is nothing better 31Rh3+ 32.Rh2 Rxh2+! 33.Kxh2 Rc2+! And mate is not far off )
21st TCh-RUS 2014.4.10 Kostin, AlexeyParfenov, Viktor N.: 19.Nxd5! Bxd2 ( 19Bxc5 20.c4 ) 20.Ne7+ Rxe7 21.Rxe7 White has a winning ending. 21 Rxc5 ( Better resistance was to be had with 21Bb4, though after 22.Rxb7 Bxc5 23.c3 there should be no doubt of the outcome; note that 21Nxc2? is met by 22.Re2 ) 22.c3 Nf5 23.Rxb7 a5 24.Rd1 Bg5 25.g3 Bf6 26.a4 1-0 The coming Rb5 can not be long prevented.
21st TCh-RUS 2014.4.10 Prizant, JaroslavNepomniachtchi, Ian: White can win the game by seizing the initiative and keeping up the pressure: 29.f4! Rxe4 (29gxf4? 30.Rg1 wins immediately) 30.Qxe4! Re8 ( 30gxf4? 31.Bd3! Qb7 32.Qxf4 with unstoppable attack ) 31.Qxc6!! The check on e2 is nothing. In practice, however, checks can be scary) 31 Qe2+ ( There is nothing better: 31Re2+ 32.Kc1 Rxc2+ ( 32g4 33.hxg4 Bxg4 34.Qxd7 h3 35.Qd6+ Kg7 36.Nc5 ) ( 32gxf4 33.Qxd7 f3 34.Qc6 f2 35.Qxf6+ Ke8 36.Nd2 ) 33.Kxc2 Qe2+ 34.Nd2 and that is that ) 32.Kc1 Qf3 33.Qd6+ ( 33.Qxd7? Qxc3! When Black wins because of the check on e1! ) 34Re7 34.fxg5 etc. Blacks position is shattered.
16th TCh-RUS w 2014.4.9 Ivkina, OlgaSavina, Anastasia: 28 Rxg5+! 29.fxg5 Qxg5+ 30.Kh2?! (Better 30.Kh3, though 30Bf5+! Follows) 30Qh4+ (30Be4! wins immediately) 31.Kg1 Be4 32.Re2 Qh1+ 33.Kf2 Qg2+ 34.Ke1 Qh1+ 35.Kf2 Qxa1 36.Rxe4 Qxb2+ and Black won easily (0-1 in 47)
