| May-19-04 | | paultopia: Hmm... I'm with the skeptics here. What's wrong with 26. Rc7? |
 |
| May-19-04 | | Kefka: 25. ..Qd6 26. Rxa7 Qb6 (loses the rook or gets mated) 26. Rc7 Qa3 (loses the queen or gets mated) |
 |
| May-19-04 | | Kefka: If 26.Rc7 Qxa5 |
 |
| May-19-04 | | mikejaqua: kevin86 thanks for that. I just did not see the Knight taking back at d2 for whatever reason. Probably the same reason that I lose so many games. :) |
 |
| May-19-04 | | ruylopez900: <artemis> Yes, I realized this after being shown the move, quite interesting. Has anyone disproved my idea of Rfd8 to win the Knight (although not as good as the text move, I do believe it works.) |

 | | AntonioSonoQui: <kevin86> Thanks for the correction, <Lawrence> thanks for the warm welcome... I usually visit this site and look at the puzzles but just decided today to participate -- fun stuff! |

 | | cjhasbrouck: I immediately recognized that the Queen could be threatened for an easy checkmate, but failed to find the incredibly simple Qg5. Embarassed =( |
 |
| May-19-04 | | JeffM70: <ruylopez900> In regards to your Rfd8 sugestion, f3 seems to blunt your attack. |
 |
| May-19-04 | | ruylopez900: <JeffM70> Good suggestion. Bxf3 gxf3 Qxf3 seems to leave Black with an attack, but he's lost a pawn (so It's not as good as I thought it was :)) |
 |
| May-19-04 | | Calchexas: Nice puzzle. I immediately saw that White's Queen had to be taken care of, but I spent too long looking for a way to interpose the rook. |

 | | misguidedaggression: let's make it 5 new kibitzers!
I found 25...Qg5 but I actually missed 26...Qxe7 :P
I like my line better anyway:
25...Qg5 26.Qb4 Qb5 27.Qc3 Qc5 28.Qd2 Qxc2
Unless I missed something... |
 |
May-19-04
 | | misguidedaggression: BTW just saw 29.Qe3 Be2 snags the knight, too. |
 |
May-19-04
 | | misguidedaggression: Oops, I see what I missed!
26.Qxb5 Rxe1 27.Qf1 loses the exchange,that line only works against 26.Qc3 i.e.
26...Qc5 27.Qd2 Qxc2 28.Qe3 Be2
In my defense I originally analyzed the line with 26.Bh3 g3 thrown in first, where 27.Qb4 Qb5 28.Qxb5 Rxe1 29.Qf1 Rxf1# But I tried to modify it when I saw 26.Bh3 f3 defends.
In the future I'll try to analyze more before I post. Sorry. |

 | | Lawrence: <misguidedaggression>, thanks for helping set a new world record. Welcome. |
 |
| May-20-04 | | paultopia: duh. :-) I'm an idiot sometimes. and THIS would be why I lose games. "oh, what's wrong with hanging the queen?" |
 |
| Apr-16-05 | | sfm: Real fine play by Olafsson. Maybe 20.Rxc7 was the decisive error, but the pinned knigts are not easy to free anyway. Especially I like 23.-,Rf8!, a silent move, saying "Your problems remains!" to White. |
 |
| Sep-04-07 | | Peter Johnson Ng: Black Queen on g5, end of the game for white. Sui??? |
 |

 | | Some call me Tim: If 26. Qb4 Qxe7 seems to seal it. |

 | | sevenseaman: Olafsson leaves Tal with a bitter pill to swallow. |
 |
| Apr-25-13 | | Everett: < Honza Cervenka: Nice game of Olafsson. By the way, 24...Qg5! was possible too.> Yes, and even more beautiful for coming a move earlier. The Q engages three pieces: en prise to the Q and N, and attacking the Re7. If either N or Q capture, then back rank mate begins with Rd1+, because both Q and N are needed to interpose on e1. With either capturing on g5, they lose contact with the e1 square. A fantastic example of back rank mate, decoying and double-attack. |
