| Oct-16-05 | | thathwamasi: What would u call this endgame as? This is kinda crazy but so thrilling to watch...Whatever white does now, still will be a piece down....white has to lose rook, or save his rook and end up a piece down against the connected pawns of black....exemplary work by khan |
|
| Feb-07-06 | | Whitehat1963: Great little puzzle after 58. Kc2. Check it out. |
|

 | | Chnebelgrind: Of course! I only considered 60...Rxe4 |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | shaikh123: khan was great.no doubt about his talent. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | Confuse: wow. awesome combination. has anyone ever seen a game and been reminded of food? this one reminds me of... lobster with that tangy sauce.

| Feb-16-06 | | LluviaSean: yesss!! got that one!! |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | yataturk: I did get the first few moves..
Great puzzle |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | suenteus po 147: I would have played 61.Rf7+ before resigning, just be to sure. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | notyetagm: Damn, I solved this in like 10 seconds. Those White b2- and f6-rooks, lined up diagonally along the dark-squared a1-h8 diagonal, create too many tactical possibilities since Black has his c5-dark squared bishop. |

 | | Sneaky: It's inevitable that somebody will ask this, so I'll answer it now: 57...Rxd5? doesn't work at all, because 58.cxd5 Rg3+ 59.Kc4 and there is no fork and White goes on to win. So first "get him where you want him" with the checks then ...Rxd5! collect your winnings, ca-ching. Endgames are a weak point of my play that I need to work on a lot. It's good that cg.com is having another endgame week. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | patzer2: For today's puzzle solution, Black's 57...Rg3+! is the first of a series of deflections and decoys to set up a winning double attack with 61...Bd5+! |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | prinsallan: Got this! |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | peterk007: In the original position the 2 white Rs are just begging for a B-fork on d4. But wait, white could gain a tempo by a check on b7 and rescue hist Rs. Better get the K in place of the R on b2, then it works nicely. - For a Thursday the principle is really easy. The variations are longish, but ok. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | dzechiel: Looked at this one for a while thinking and the suddenly I saw that long diagonal. Immediately I started looking at 57...♖xd5 and it almost works, but white can recapture with the c-pawn and you're sunk. Then I saw the check-check-capture-capture-check sequence and it all made sense. A pretty ending. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | HappyFriend: Always look for tactics in the endgame. I have always found a "cheap" tactic or two in the endgame, they usually come from a check or two...Nothing wrong with those checks! |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | Richerby: <Blitz4265: The first Asian GM shows his power> Mir Sultan Khan was not, as far as I am aware, a grandmaster. The first Asian GM was Eugenio Torre. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | Richerby: I got this fairly quickly once I realised that 57... ♖e7+ isn't check at all because it attacks the wrong king. Doh! |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | LuckyBlunder: Well , maybe he had not the title, but his games speak for themselves. I cannot imagine such display of power against many brilliant players and world champions performed by someone who is not a grandmaster. It is quite obvious that it is more difficult to become a professional chess player if you're born in a poorer country or in difficult conditions. If Mir Sultan Khan had born in Germany he would have been a 'titled' GM. :) |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | shirova: <Richerby> Sultan Khan was not a GM because there's no GM award at his time. |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | Autoreparaturwerkbau: What happens after 61.Rf7+ ? |
|
| Feb-16-06 | | Parriotblue: I got the first few moves and stopped at 60.Kxb2. I only wanted stop Rb7+ for White. But after 60. Kxb2 a new motif for tatics has appeared and in a realgame would be easy to find Rxd5 and then the fork in d4. So, I could find the final shot without thinking about it in 57 move. I remember a statement of Najdorf when he won a prize of brilliantism in a master tournament but I don't remember where was. He said he was surprised because in the game he never saw more than 2 moves in advance. Can it be truth? |
