| Apr-19-06 | | Fezzik: Boy, who was this Gabriel Wood fellow? Didn't he even ask himself why Najdorf had 31...Bd7? Sheesh. Does anyone know anything about this Barcelona tournament of 1946? |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | ckr: The Knight move uncovers two mate threats and white cannot counter both. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | backyard pawn: <ckr> exactamundo! Black's queen can mate at h2, or his rook can mate at f1. Even I saw that one. : ) |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | dhotts: What's wrong with 30.Rxa5? |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | ckr: <Fezzik> He thought 31...Bd7 was to clear the way for 32...Qc6+. So he blindly self-mates with Kh1. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | blingice: After five minutes of cluelessness, I solved it in a millisecond. No, a millisecond is to a second as what I solved it in is to a millisecond. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | Ashram64: I spent 5min looking for attack for white..and finally gave up and clicked the answer..and i saw the score is 0-1! so quickly i stop the loading and got the move in few seconds! ridiculous >.< once again.. RTFQ (read the "friendly" question) :) |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | dzechiel: Saw it in about 10 seconds. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | Infohunter: <blingice: ...a millisecond is to a second as what I solved it in is to a millisecond.>
That would be a microsecond. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | JustAFish: As this is a puzze, 32... Ng4 was seen more or less right away. The biggest challenge I had to deal was assuring myself that 33 g3 was not a serious challnege to the move. Simply taking the pawn, 33...Qxg3, seems to lead to mate in every line. |

33 g3? white is at least losing his queen. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Once you realize that the mere existence of the Nf6 hurts Black's position, it becomes a simple matter of finding the best way of getting rid of it. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | prinsallan: Missed this ,( |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | HelaNubo: Like <Ashram64>, I looked for a win for White, wondering that we have such a difficult puzzle so early in the week. Then I spotted that black is Najdorf, that the first rank is weak in f1 and that the obvious winning move is Ng4, all simultaneously;-) |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | yataturk: <<<<<>>>>HelaNubo: Then I spotted that black is Najdorf<<<<>>>>> What exactly do you mean by this (i.e., what exact pattern are you talking about)? |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | midknightblue: I couldnt find a win for white. When am I gonna start reading the instructions properly? |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Needed 10 seconds for this! Was first considering Qh2+ and Bxh6. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | dakgootje: few seconds to see the move, as it was the first i looked at (pretty easy if you see whites weak backrank). After that it took me about 15 seconds finding a possible counter-move as i thought it was too easy, yes even too easy for wednesday... (no offence to those who missed it) |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | SJP: <dakgootje>
This did seem too quick for a Wednesday |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | martr3000: Black Q has h2 covered, how to get that rook to f1...? Simple - move the Knight out of the way... |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | moppa: martr3000, The knight has to go to g4, becouse of 33.Qxd6 ...This took me about fifteen minutes. First I started to look at a knight move that covers h2, but even thinking about that and Ng5 I - for some reason - didn't see it. God I felt stupid after those 15 minutes. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | WarmasterKron: I started looking at at Bxh3 before I saw the backrank weakness and the knight move. Pretty straightforward. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | Richerby: I saw 32... ♘g4 very quickly but didn't spot the discovered attack on White's queen (duh!) so spent quite a while convincing myself that 33.g3 ♕xg3 is winning. Actually, since that checkmates (as far as I can see), 33... ♕xg3 is better than 33... ♕xg6 in that position. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | NotABanker: 32. Kh1 was a gift. I wonder how long it took Najdorf to play 32. ...Ng4. |
|
| Apr-19-06 | | Halldor: When solving puzzles I find it useful just to try spotting some ideas in the position for possible combinations to begin with - instead of trying out individual moves. Here is a lot of such stuff: vulnerable first rank, unguarded queen indirectly attacked, etc. So consequently I saw that the knight was in the way as <An Englishman> points out, and then all these ideas combine easily and make a beautiful combination. |
