 | | InspiredByMorphy: Theres nothing wrong with 5. ...Bc5 . Black could have played 6. ...Nxd4 with an equal game. |
 |
| Jan-17-05 | | Dave Murray: I saw 8. g4, but it doesn't look like a typical Monday puzzle solution... |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | Novice713: The earlier kibitzing helped me to understand this - the black queen can't protect the bishop anymore, all the squares on the 5th rank are covered. |

| | notsodeepthought: It took me a little while to realize this is not Efim Geller, but a namesake - a relation perhaps? Not that a 2400+ rated player should fall for this kind of trap, but at least it wasn't one of the former top 10 or so players in the world. |

| | iron maiden: This is the trouble with fooling around with the Qh4 line. You have to watch where you put your pieces or else this happens. |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | erikcu: I had to keep telling myself, its just Monday until I saw the solution after about 5 minutes. |

| | Swapmeet: You'd have to be a real Jakov to fall into this...har har |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | newold: <notsodeepthoutght>
In fact 6. ... Nge7 was a routine move - 6. ... Nxd4 was required. But these blunders can happen for everybody, even strong masters. Who can say that it never happens to him(her)self ?? |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | ice lemon tea: being down a piece + other pieces didn't developed very good compared to white...considering this situation, black is more likely to lose...but black can turn this game around if only he show some fighting spirit... |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | erimiro1: Great trap. For those who look for short games between GM's, I recommend Botvinik-Spielman from 1935, which ended afret 12 moves. |

| | catfriend: As if to compensate for the complex sunday puszzle, this one is quite simple: The main threat juming to one's eyes is  :c5. But-surprise-we see then the bushop is protected by the queen. Wait, the queen has no safe place on the 4th line - and we have the solution! |

| | gambiter: Nd5 wins also: NxN PxN Na5 BxB. |
|

| | nosh: <gambiter> No... 8 Nd5 Nxd5 exd5 Bxe3... White gains no material. |
|

 | | patzer2: Today's Monday puzzle features the classic deflection tactic 8. g4! as the solution, which deflects the Queen off the fifth rank, allows 9. BxB, and leaves Black a piece down in a resignable position. |

| | midknightblue: I missed this. A monday puzzle too. I feel like squaredance. |
|

 | | kevin86: A twopenny trap for a 2417 player! After all,we were shown how a renowned grandmaster can fall into a simple trap-Tartokower losing to Reti-so maybe it's no surprise. This one may be TOO simple for Monday! A regular "Run Spot run". |
|
| Jan-17-05 | | SickedChess: J. Geller is just an IM dont get confused with Efim Geller the soviet Grand Master |
|

| | aw1988: The Steinitz variation of the Scotch (4...Qh4, not 4...Ke7) has the basic idea of "I'll let you have an attack, but I can still grab a pawn in any case, and the position should be roughly unclear". Whilst this is great for those who like tenacious defense and wish to grab a little bit "to go", the Steinitz variation also has the nasty habit of the pieces tripping over themselves if not played properly. |

| | HammerTime: why i love paul morphy anyway? |
|

| | HammerTime: bobby or garry dont stand no where near paul, hence! |

| | McCool: Are you sure Kaido Kulaots is rated this high? |
|

 | | WarmasterKron: <<Swapmeet> You'd have to be a real Jakov to fall into this...har har> As the saying goes, a Jackov all trades is a master of none. |
|
| Sep-02-07 | | timhortons: id seen these game in the database of chessmaster 10th edition...and id find it funny for a master to fell these way |
|
| Nov-24-08 | | nthan: Don't play chess Geller..go and play backgammon... |
|
Nov-27-09
| | InspiredByMorphy: I used to think 6. ...Nxd4 was the move but 6. ...d6 is better. |
