Feb-15-19		ChessHigherCat: <offramp>: I had no idea she was Toni Basil but she sure caught my attention in the film. That's one hot squaw. but what can you expect after a 75-year gestation period: <Description: Antonia Christina Basilotta, better known by her stage name Toni Basil, is an American singer, actress, choreographer, dancer, and filmmaker, best known for her multi-million-selling worldwide 1981 hit "Mickey", which reached No 1 in several countries. Wikipedia> <Born: September 22, 1943 (age 75 years)> If she born at the age of 75 in 1943, she just celebrated her sesquicentennial!

Feb-15-19		schachfuchs: How pitiful to be born at the age of 75! ;-)

Feb-15-19		TheaN: <CHC: 19. Rxc3! Little creep was hiding like a speed cop on h3...> And has so far at least written two tickets...

Feb-15-19		Willber G: <TheaN: <CHC: 19. Rxc3! Little creep was hiding like a speed cop on h3...> And has so far at least written two tickets...> Make that three.

Feb-15-19		The Kings Domain: Fine play by Anand. Nice to see the pun's from one of my favorite '80s tracks. :-)

Feb-15-19		agb2002: Black is one pawn down. White threatens Bxc8 and dxe6. 18... Nxd7 is met with 19.Qxh7#. This suggests 18... Rxc3: A) 19.Rxc3 h6 A.1) 20.Nf3 Nxd7 looks very advantageous for Black. A.2) 20.dxe6 hxg5 21.exf7+ Rxf7 22.hxg5 Ne4 followed by Bxg5+, unclear. B) 19.Qxc3 Nxd7 as in A.1. C) 19.bxc3 Bxa3+ 20.Kd2 Qxf2+ 21.Kd3 Ba6+ 22.Bb5 Bxb5#.

Feb-15-19		agb2002: My maneuver Rxc3 followed by h6 seems to lose to 20.Rb3, according to Stockfish. Better luck next time.

Feb-15-19		landshark: For me the real puzzle (because I can't see far enough ahead from the start) is what to play after White's 21.Qf5 - all of Black's moves prior to that seemed natural to me and were what I chose. Move 21 was unexpected - but I hadn't been able to visualize the territory here enough to come up with a good try for him.

Feb-15-19		landshark: And upon further review, what ensued was a wild middle game of the type I am utterly lost trying to actually <calculate> concrete anything. Hats off to those two - way to mix it up - !

Feb-22-19		RKnight: Deja Vu all over again.

Feb-22-19		jffun1958: Carnival is coming up soon. It's recycling time. :-)

Feb-22-19		Jimfromprovidence: As an alternative to the last two days of repeated puzzles, try this one. It's pretty good. White to play and win. Move 57. click for larger view Here is the game link. Topalov vs Gelfand, 2010

Feb-22-19		Olsonist: You can say that again.

Feb-22-19		mel gibson: Not much of a puzzle - less than 2 pawns in it. However - the computer did follow the same line. Stockfish 10 says: 18. ... Bxd5 (18. ..

Feb-22-19		malt: I'm going for 18...B:d5 just because I did not get it, last week.

Feb-22-19		pittpanther: Does someone know the games from Tuesday and Wednesday? I wanted to comment on an interesting resource (at least I think interesting :) )for black in the day that began with Rxf6 but cannot find the puzzle in the puzzle archives. Thanks,

Feb-22-19		I Like Fish: that beats me

Feb-22-19		HeMateMe: I don't understand the pun here.

Feb-23-19		jith1207: <pittpanther>: I think the puzzles are getting repetitive those days, right? The reason they may not be in archives or collections. I believe you have to look up for puzzles 7 days prior, as I recall these were the ones that got repeated.
