| expertbyaugust: hey knight, thanks for the warm welcome, chessgames is cool! |

| Dimitar Panayotov: I have to look for Q sacrifices in my games also:) |

| ChessPraxis: It's odd that Zukertort didn't see this coming. He was a great tactical player himself. He could have avoided immediate mate by playing 23. Bxg4 rather than 23. Qg3. |

| ChessPraxis: I recognized the position as one of the puzzles in "Win at Chess" by Fred Reinfeld although he doesn't say who the players are. I like the way the knight sets up a forcefield around the white King to create the conditions for a typical back rank mate. But it's a permeable forcefield - the Queen can get through. |

| ruylopez900: Excellent puzzle, but I caught on immediately. Like Chesspatch I noticed back rank possibilities tried a rook sac came up empty then realized I was being to materialistic :) |

| ka101: I thought about the Queen Sacrifice but like "Chesspatch" I figure the Rook would do the same job. Either way its a mate. |
|
| Jul-13-04 |
| ruylopez900: <ka 101> The Rook sac doesn't work because the king can flee to the Q-side. |

| hoitt: Great site. Speaking of puzzles... Can anyone recommend a puzzle book? or even a basic-intermediate level book. I tried 'Simple Chess' by John Emms but didn't care for it. |

| kevin86: Boy did Zukertort step into a bear trap!! After the rook sac,white plays Ke2. The queen sac is clearly inescapable. |

| dac1990: I got this one. Woohoo! |

| weev: White blundered with 23. Qg3.
Should have taken the Knight with his Bishop and left the lady on the back row. |

| MatrixManNe0: I can't read it... yea, um...
But I found out the solution in any case... |

| karnak64: <Can anyone recommend a puzzle book?> Instead of a book, may I recommend a program? CT-Art 3.0 has changed my game around; I see tactics now much faster, and I'm not surprised as often over the board except by much superior players. I got it for about 30USD, and it's the best money I've spent on a chess toy. |

| RonB52734: <Can anyone recommend a puzzle book?> There is a book called, I believe, "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess," which is really nothing more than a collection of back-rank mating problems with a small amount of commentary. It's full of Q sacs, of which I understand Fischer was thought to be particularly fond. Certainly a good book for a serious beginner; it may be a bit basic for anyone beyond that. |
|

| MatrixManNe0: A puzzle book, you say? Perhaps "Sharpen Your Tactics!" by GMs Anatoly Lein and Boris Archangelsky would enlighten you. |

| midknightblue: I am psyched to have got this one right too. it is kind of cool. By the way, <karnak64> great bio! By the way, can you give us any numbers about how your rating changed with that CT-Art 3.0? I have gotten away from tactics lately, because I thought they were my strength, and I needed work in other areas. Lately, I realize I need work in all areas :( |
|

| ruylopez900: <hoit> Yes, CT-ART 3.0 is quite good, the solution is right there, when you make your move and it has several levels of hints (like the crucial pieces, gives you a similiar position, shows which piece to move etc.) As for a book There is one by Fred Wilson (?) Called <303 Tactical Chess Puzzles> (or along the lines of that). The Beginner ones can be a bit challenging, but once you master them the rest of the book gets quite easy, even though before they seemed quite difficult. |

| InspiredByMorphy: 13. Bxf7+ looks better to me. |
|

| nummerzwei: After 23. BxNg4 white has one single pawn for the exchange and should be lost. |
|
| Nov-13-06 |
| bridgepro: White 4th move is not in the spirit of the Vienna. 4. Qg4 poses interesting threats (e.g. if 4...Qf6, 5.Nd5...Qxf2+ 6.Kd1 with a winning attack for white. |
