| Halldor: Ah..., I saw that at b4 the queen would control d2 and prevent the king from escaping there, so my line was <after 28... xa2+ 29. x>: 29...a8+ 30.b1 30... b4+ 31.c1 a1# <or 30.b3 c4+ 31.b2 b4+ 32.c1 a1#<>>, a bit inferior. |

| Dr. Funkenstein: I have a question regarding the start of this sequence. White doesn´t seem in horrible shape until grabbing the poisoned pawn at d6 starting the combination 25. ...Rxb2+. Is the final losing move Qf6 or is there no defense to Black´s assault on the queenside? |
|

| JustAFish: I chose, after the game moves: 30 Ka3 Qc5+ 31. Kb3 Rb8+ 32. Ka4 Qa7#. I thought allowing the king to wander made for a slightly more difficult mate. |

| chessic eric: I saw <al wazir's> line, and I can't believe white played 30.Ka1, although it may have been another way to resign, since mate is forced after 30.Ka3 also. |

| dakgootje: <This would be a nice thursday puzzle 25...?> Yes, but that not only the first move, as that would be more of a wednesday, maybe even tuesday, but up to 27. ...Qxe4 after which the text continuation with 28. Qf6 obviouly isnt best |

| Castle In The Sky: I saw <Paladin's> variation fairly quickly, although Black's play was the most accurate. When I looked at this puzzle initially and saw that white threatened immediate mate, I knew that the solution had to involve a check and a corresponding mate. This made finding the right move fairly easy. |

| YouRang: Once you noticed that White has an imminent mate threat (Qg7#), this puzzle almost solves itself. |

| zb2cr: Saw the whole thing, took about a minute to work out what happened if 30. a3, a8+; 31. b4, a4#. |

| Demostenes: How about:
28...Rxa2+
29.Kxa2 Ra8+
30.Kb3 Qc4+
31.Kb2 Qb4+
32.Kc1 Ra1 mate ? :-) |

| kevin86: Black is threatened with inescapable mate!!! How urgent can you be? Black's "escape",of course,is to mate first- Once the urgency is shown,the key move is obvious-the rest solves itself. |

| aginis: how about 27.Qd4 as a defense for white? can white hang onto a draw? |

| jackmandoo: I've spent my morning trying to figure this one out. I gave up when I realized that white was about to mate me and that I needed continuing checks to win. This is one of the deeper combos that ive seen, you guys must be being sarcastic. |

| YouRang: <monad: At this stage I can't see Rxa2+ as a sacrifice any longer ... It is a deflection rather than a sacrifice.> Couldn't it be both? i.e. a deflection-sacrifice? |

| YouRang: <aginis: how about 27.Qd4 as a defense for white? can white hang onto a draw?> Looks good to me. :-) |

| durnstein: <EmperorAtahualpa> Yes, 28 ... Rb1+ is a win for White -- unless White is foolish enough to capture with the King. W wins:
28 ......... Rb1+
29 Rxb1 .. Qd4+
30 Rb2 and Black is out of checks.
He can soldier on with
30 ..... Nf3
31 Qxf3 and mate is averted. But Black is hopelessly behind on material. B wins:
28 ......... Rb1+
29 Kxb1?? .. Rc4+
30 Kc1 ..... Qa3+
31 Kd2 ..... Rd8+
32 Ke1 ..... Qe3+
33 Kf1 ..... Rxe1++ |

 |
| RandomVisitor: <durnstein>31...Rd8+ 32.Qxd8 |
|
| Jun-14-06 |
| durnstein: <RandomVisitor> Oops. Well, then, in the B wins line: 31 Kd2 ... Nc4+
32 Ke1 ... Re8+
and I think Black can go on to win . . . . |
|
| Jun-14-06 |
| durnstein: (White won't take with the King on 28 ... Rb1+ anyway, of course.) |

| patzer2: White had a good game going until the mistake 24. f4? Instead, 24. Ne2 Qh5 25. f4 Qxe2 26. fxe5 Qxe4 27. exd6 Qxd4 28. Rxd4 Rfd8 29. Re1 Kf8 30. Kc1 Ra8 31. a3  (+1.56 @ 13 depth, Fritz 8) gives White winning chances.White follows up his mistake with the blunder 25. Qxd6??, when 25...Rxb2+! proves decisive. The puzzle solution 28...Rxa2+! leaves White a move short of his goal as Black's mate-in-four arrives first. |

| JManRio: Why 24 f4??
White threw away his advantage!! =( |
