 | | Sneaky: In the final position *every* piece of Black's is hanging: rook, bishop, and queen--and yet White is totally without a move. Bravo! |
|

 | | Eggman: Nice. This one was a fair bit trickier than some of the more recent puzzles. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | stef21: what about 26.. Rd2! 27. Qxd2 Qh4 28. Qc8+ Kg7 29. h3 Qg3  +
the line in the game is nonetheless much nicer |

| | Eggman: <what about 26.. Rd2! 27. Qxd2 Qh4 28. Qc8+ Kg7 29. h3 Qg3> Of course you mean 26...Rc2 (not 26...Rd2) 27.Qxc2 Qh4 28.Qc8+ Kg7 29.h3 Qg3, etc. I don't think that quite works: with his material plus White could afford to play 30.Rxf7+ Bxf7 31.Rxe5. If Black instead plays 30...Kxf7, I don't have time to analyze but I have to believe that 31.Qd7+ would at least allow White to draw. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | stef21: the correct line is 26.. Rc2! 27. Qxc2 Qh4 28. Qc8+ Kg7 29. h3 Qg3 30. Rxf7+ Kxf7 31. Qd7+ Kf8 32. Qd8+ Kg8 33. Qe7+ Kh6 34. Qf8+ Kh5 and white is finished |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | Bears092: Rc2 is good, but Qh4 forces mate. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | PinkPanther: This is reminiscent of the Reshevsky Game, where Fischer sscrifices his queen to force mate on the back rank. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | PinkPanther: Reshevsky vs Fischer, 1970
There we go. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | kevin86: Bobby Fischer wrote a primer on chess that was virtually a book on back rank mates-this game could fit into the collection. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | thesonicvision: hmm.. |
|
| Nov-15-03 | | talchess2003: kevin, what is the name of that primer and where can you get it? |
|
| Nov-16-03 | | dr gogusetti n rao: <stef21> In "The correct line is 26...Rc2! 27.Qxc2 Qh4" &c., it obviously needs to be corrected to 32...Kg7; but does this line work just as well? |
|
| Nov-16-03 | | patzer2: <talchess 2003> "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" was my first chess book. Reviews can be found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos... I would recommend it for absolute beginners to learn the move of the pieces and the most basic mating patterns, but if you know how to play and are familiar with back rank mating patterns you might save your money for something more useful. Reinfeld's book of 1001 Checkmate problems is in my opinion a better buy for those familiar with chess rules and basic mating patterns. |
|
| Nov-17-03 | | kevin86: thesonicvision I believe it is called BOBBY FISCHER TEACHES CHESS-I have no idea where to get it,I borrowed it from my local library. |
|
| Aug-05-04 | | patzer2: Black's 26...Qh4!! is definitely correct, as it leads to a quick mate per Fritz 8. The alternative 26...Rc2! 27. Qxc2 Qh4! also wins with a +6.47 evaluation, but takes a bit longer. |
|
| Feb-20-05 | | Rowson: i didn't know who was winning that one until 27...Qf2. so many sacs!!! |
|
| Feb-20-05 | | csmath: LL was one of the most monstrous attackers of his time. Yet somehow he was never able to qualify to candidates matches. Something was a miss in his game.
However, if he writes a book "My best games" that would definitely be a magnificent tactical classic. |
|
| Feb-20-05 | | RisingChamp: Garry Kasparov attributes it to some dgeree to a "turning point" where Ljubo was leading an interzonal,and played Bronstien with black and in an incredibly tactical Alekhines defense he had worked out before hand.Bronstien offered a draw after a deadly dangerous sacrifice with 5 mins on his clock,whereas Ljubo had SPENT only 5 mins.Ljubo declined and because he was so intent on blitzing,he missed a winning move and Bronstien won.According to Kaspy Ljubo hasnt been the same in Interzonals. |
|
| Feb-21-05 | | csmath: Yup, he had sudden breakdowns, similar to Larsen. On his best days he could crush anybody (Karpov was a victim quite a few times) but then he had bleak performances. This seems to be a trait of many tactical players. |
|
| Aug-04-05 | | Averageguy: Larsen seems to have a knack of losing on the back rank in this style, such as Tal vs Larsen. |
|
| Apr-27-06 | | AKRAL37: thank you i have not a comment.I like look and learn in games |
|
| May-12-06 | | TrueBlue: got it, haven't missed a Saturday in the last month. Now Wednesday's are a totally different thing :) Go Topa go! |

 | | OBIT: Hmm, looks like this one has been analyzed quite a bit already. I went with 26...Rc2 myself. I'd post some analysis, but I see some folks already worked out 26...Rc2 back in 2003. |
|
| May-12-06 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: I was patting myself on the back for seeing 26...Rc2. I completely missed 27...Qf2. Emmanuel Lasker once said, "When you see a good move--wait--don't play it--you might find a better one." |
