 | | patzer2: After 10...0-0-0??, White's 11. axb4!! sets up a Boden's mate pattern following 12...Qxh1 and 13. Qxc6+! |
|
| Sep-03-09 | | Whitehat1963: Excellent Monday puzzle after 12...Qxh1. |

| Mar-15-10 | | Dr. Siggy: Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, "The Game of Chess", english transl., London 1934, pages 181-2: - "The castled position on the Queen's side is subject to some dangers to which that on the King's side is not. [...] A particular danger for a King castled on the Queen's side is the presence of a hostile Bishop at f4(f5) [...]" as in this game after 10... 0-0-0?? "In such a position the King is frequently exposed to the typical surprise attack 1. Qxc6+ bxc6 2. Ba6#." |

 | | Infohunter: Chernev writes, "A man might play a million game of chess and not duplicate Canal's feat." But I think this one qualifies: NN vs E J Diemer, 1978. |
|
| May-11-12 | | vinidivici: wow, i dont know if canal planned this or not.after white 11.axb4 there is no place for queen at the a file, so he took the rook and BANG, discovered attack from another rook. theres no way to stop white mate progress. and if after axb4, black queen takes the b4 pawn, white next move 12. Rxa7 will make everything worse for black |
|
| May-14-12 | | Llawdogg: Both rooks, the queen, and crisscrossing bishops! |
|
| Jun-11-12 | | YoungEd: Something's Boden ill for Black. |
