| Biscoito: I wouldn´t call the position after 18. ...Qxe7 a lost game for white, at least it would be a better continuation than mate in 3 moves. |
 |
| Nov-22-06 |
| eblunt: <biscoito> 18 ... Qxe7 and Black significant material ahead. |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| Emanuel: what's next after 17.Bxg7 ? Black have decisive advantage or not? |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| Mazettakos: Ok Qe6 is the obvious move, but with 18.Bxf6 white surrenders immediately. I found as best defense (no fritz use, correct me if I am wrong) 18. Bxh7+ with the idea if 18..Nxh7 then 19. Bh4 so as to reply to 19...Qg4 with 20. Bg3. If black replies with 18...Kh8 then 19. Bf5 Qxe7, ok much better than what white obtained in the game |

| cjhasbrouck: Significant material without compensation is always enough to call a game. Especially in a puzzle. |

| thegoodanarchist: I cannot believe Moroczy's play on the last few moves - where is his sense of danger? With the pawn controlling the mate square g2, he should have been wary. |

| Peligroso Patzer: This has got to be the game of a lifetime for this otherwise obscure player. In the following game, he succumbs to a Dobias sacrifice: J Dobias vs O Tenner, 1913 |

| thegoodanarchist: So the first game in the db for Ragozin is from 1927, but this game was played in '26. Yet it is still called the Ragozin defense. I suppose Tenner wasn't prominent enough to have it named after himself? |

| Peligroso Patzer: <think: I thought this was tough for a Wednesday. It just seems like there isn't anything forcing in the position.> This actually was a good position to use the Silman "fantasy" method - imagine the position you want and then try to find a way to reach it. With the Black pawn on f3, my first thought was, "If only I could get the Black Queen to g4 ...". It was then not difficult to spot e6 as a transition square to g4 to which the Queen could move with tempo. |

After 19. Bh4 quite unpleasant 19...Ng5. |

| kevin86: I missed this one-First it took me a while to realize that black was to win. The move I finally saw was the correct move-but I thought it was a trap FOR BLACK. I didn't realize how powerful that lone black pawn could be-WITH a ROYAL escort. |

| Helloween: Easiest puzzle ever. |

| greensfield: Missed this one completely. Anyway can white find a better response than 18. Bxf6? What about 18. Qd1 Qxe7 19. Qxf3? |

| Stellar King: Got this one too!!.. remember my four rules!!!!! |

| YouRang: A rather simple problem, and I solved it pretty fast once I considered black's pawn on f3. But 17...Qe6 is the kind of move you can overlook if you start off by looking for a more direct king attack. Here, we use indirect path, stopping to threaten the bishop -- but only to gain the time and position for launching the *real* attack on the king. |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| Stonewaller2: <greensfield> yeah, or something like that. I was looking for something more violent for Black like 17. ... fg 18.  xg2  c6+ followed by ... f3 and mobilizing the  s and  but that seemed a little longish for a Wed. puzzle. If I were Maroczy caliber I'd soldier on with a  against two s. But 17. ... e6 does look best. |

| GPawn: 18. Bf5 stops mate but loses Bishop! |

 |
| Willem Wallekers: I wanted to play Qe6, but thought it didn't look spectacular enough to be the solution to a puzzle. |
|

| egilarne: Strange - saw that Qg6 would be crushing, were it not for Bxg6 - and unable to detect Qe6 and Qg4 - probably something to learn from :) |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| lvlaple: Heh. I got it! Of course, I thought it won a bishop, although White decided it would cost him the game too. |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| Trouble: This was a long combo that the GM appears to have miscalculated...of course in 1926 he might not have been a gm...good beginner problem from the diagram position |
|
| Nov-22-06 |
| TTLump: after 17 ... Qe6, white's best line is
18. Qd1 Qxe7
19. Qxf3 Qd6
20. Rfd1 Nf8
21. h3 Qd5
22. Qxd5 Nxd5
... etc.
and up the exchange plus a pawn shouold be an easy win for black |

| The17thPawn: Swing and a miss, strike two hundred and twelve |

| vibes43: Was looking at this earlier while in a sleep deprived conditon. Considered Qe6 but couldn't evaluate all the responses along with other 17....? possibilities. Good puzzle. |

| Gregor Samsa Mendel: <Peligroso>--Tenner's game of a lifetime was probably the following: Field vs O Tenner, 1923. I remember it from Horowitz's "The Golden Treasury of Chess." |
