 | | YouRang: Good Monday puzzle. It's not hard to solve, and it's not hard to figure out why black ("NN") chose to remain anonymous. |

 | | greensfield: Loked at 11. Be5 and found mate. Thought I got the puzzle, but there is a quicker solution with 11. Qxh6+!. Oh well |
|
| Nov-20-06 | | haha: same to me :P, but 11. Be5 is not mate... |
|

| | YouRang: <haha: same to me :P, but 11. Be5 is not mate...> Well, it's not *immediate* mate, but mate is certainly in view after 11. Be5 -- just not AS quick as 11. Qxh6. |

 | | kevin86: I like this miniature. Black gains the queen,but must open the fatal door to his helpless king. Three minor pieces are quite enough to choke a king. |
|
| Nov-20-06 | | Oldrey: <peligroso patzer> but if we take off the knight on e7, Qg6 would be answered by Qxg5 |
|
| Nov-20-06 | | Stellar King: <syracrophy> <Easy! Just as in the game NN vs Blackburne, 1880> That is because it is called the Blackburne's Mate ..I got it too!! 6 more days to go!!!! |
|
| Nov-20-06 | | TopaLove: <peligroso patzer> If you want to remove pieces from the board, remove the h6 pawn and Black is already mated. :P |

 | | thegoodanarchist: I have had the pleasure of playing a similar combination in a tournament game. However, my queen sac was not with check, so my opponent declined it and avoided the mate by two bishops. But I still won :) |
|
| Nov-20-06 | | halloween: My choice was 11. Ne6, which is also winning but not as quickly. Do I still get the points? |

| | BadKnight: Saw the solution in few seconds. Yup, its monday's puzzle. :) |

| | YouRang: <halloween: My choice was 11. Ne6, which is also winning but not as quickly. Do I still get the points?> I'm not seeing it. How you proceed to win after 11...dxe6? |

| Nov-20-06 | | einuj: When names are omitted and dates are unknown, sometimes it makes me think if some of these puzzles actually a game that really happened before the eyes of the author; or the author just made it up because it would look good. |

 | | dzechiel: Cute. I think that 50% of Monday and Tuesday puzzles can be solved by looking for the queen sacrifice. |

12. Bxh6 g7xh6 13. Qxh6#
Wrong? |

| Jan-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: 8...0-0?? is one of the worst NN blunders. |
|
| Mar-09-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow! This is a great game |
|
| May-14-12 | | Llawdogg: That was a fun queen sacrifice! |
