still an advantage for white cause if
30.Kf8 after 30.Qd4 .....31.Qd5!!!..its either draw for white but if he moves to 31.e8 ..31..Rxe3!!and the queen is bye-bye |
 |
| Mar-06-07 | | chopin4525: Got it.It was pretty easy but I needed a couple of minutes to find it I am out of training...must be the exams ^^ |
|

 | | YouRang: It took me a minute or so, but I got it. The rook sac does 3 things: (1) It's check, giving black time to not worry about his queen being under attack. (2) It removes the king's defending pawn. (3) It brings the king to a square where the bishop can be brought into play with check, again giving black time. And now, with white's defensive position ripped apart, and with black's Q+B+P attacking, it's over very soon. (If needed, the black rook could also be called to join the attack on the f-file, but it's not even needed.) |

 | | kevin86: I was wondering: In the tv show,MASH,was g2 the name of the command and control center? I think it was. JW,because the first two puzzles have started with sacrifices at g2. It looks like out theme,at least for the easy part of the week. |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | Stonewaller2: In the U.S. military, G2 refers to the assistant to a general officer for intelligence matters and his or her staff. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera.... |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | BabalooMoon: Wouldn't 30. Qf3 mix things up a bit? It obviously still loses but it would take a little longer. I was lost in the pack of Qg3'ers :( |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | realbrob: Well if 30.Qf3 then 30.. Bxf3+ 31.Kxf3 Rf8+ 32.Ke2 Qxd4 a quick checkmate is still in the air I think.. |

| | kevin86: <StoneWaller2> thanks for the clarification. I remember they were reporting info to G2-Now I know that they meant a person-not a place. The point was in today's discussion-the black rook "reported" to square g2. |

 | | playground player: How to feel like Max Euwe... Did anybody miss this one? |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | Stonewaller2: <playground player: ... Did anybody miss this one?> Well I must admit I was looking at 28. ...  e4 to set up ... xg2, when actually I should have been looking at those moves in the opposite order, before I gave up and peeked. I'm after thinkin' I'd have gotten it eventually. ;) |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | wals: Mr Euwe makes it look so easy ! |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | schnarre: Even I saw this one... |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | WickedPawn: Another great example of a White's powerful first rank and a extremely weak second rank... Pretty similar theme to Monday's puzzle.. I wish we had ChessGames.com 15 years ago when I had plenty of time to study chess... |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | vibes43: <TheBB: <Tactic101> Most people, like me, solve these puzzles for themselves, and not for others. Also, having 3 pages of posts explaining the same thing sounds like overkill... :)>
I enjoy reading other's analysis and contributing when I can. And I appreciate those who take the time to correct or confirm my offerings. Even simple posts let CG administrators know we are interested in this great site. |

 | | dzechiel: Found this even faster than yesterday's. |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | Sydro: Hooray! I solved a puzzle! |
|
| Mar-06-07 | | cornking2000: How about this line: 28.... Rxg2+ 29. Kxg2 Be4+ 30.Qf3 Bxf3+ 31.Kxf3 Rf8+ 32.Ke2 Qxd4 33.Red1 Rf2+ 34.Ke1 Qc3+ 35.Rd2 Qxd2# White prolongs the game, but too much power with Q, R and P. |
