| kevin86: White retreat his rook to cover g1 an extra time-alas,this rook also guarded f2--from which it is deflected to capture at g1-mate is simple. |

| YouRang: I got it pretty easily. You know your in for a bad week if you miss the Monday puzzle. |

|
| YouRang: <ransom> After 18. Nd5, how do you answer 18... Nh3? |
|

|
| kevin86: I see a "pattern" here:"Johnny Cochrane" was unable to put up an adequate defense here. By the way,a RIP to Johhny Cochrane,who recently passed away- |

| catfriend: <YouRang>, <random> 18.Nd5 Nh3?? is bad, look at 19.Nf6+  ..But, 18..Nxd5 19.exd5 Rxc2 20.Rxf6 Rxb2 is won for black. Of course, that's better than the game, and that's why I said <he could prolong it>. |

| Rocafella: A Nice and Easy Monday puzzle, just what I need to get me loosened up for some of the tougher ones later in the week! |

| xxdsdxx: Ooops! Look what I found! A easy victory after trying to make it hard on myself with 19. ...Rf2, which still comes out a win, though with prolonged agony... |
|
| Jun-06-05 |
| catfriend: <xxdsdxx> How do you answer 20.Nd5? |
|
| Jun-06-05 |
| ArmyBuddy: ...Rg1+ That was so easy. The rest is a semi smothered mate. I've played the Bishop's opening before but never did I reach this position. |

|
| YouRang: <catfriend> Oops - You're right, I overlooked Nf6. Overlooking things is my specialty. :( Yes, Nf6 looks like an improvement over 18 Rxf6. |

| Backward Development: Hooray for Mondays! We're all GM's today.

| Halldor: The smothered mate. Rooksacrifice on g1 and Nf2#. Yes, good to have easy mondays. |
|
| Jun-06-05 |
| erikcu: Can someone explain to me the point of
17... f6 ? Is it some sort of deflection, or tempo move? It seems that black could have played Nh3 on 17. Best I can guess is that black did not see the smothered mate on 17, then realized it on 18. |

 |
| Swapmeet: <erikcu> If immediately 17...Nh3, then 18. Rxe5+ Kf8 19. Rd8+ Kg7 20.Rxg8+ Kxg8 21.Kxg2 winning. 17...f6 deflects the rook from taking the e-pawn, and if in the game white plays 19. Re6+, then black wins after 19...Kf7. |

| Swapmeet: Right, I didn't mean deflects the rook, it protects the e-pawn and gives the king an escape square. |
|

|
| WannaBe: This is actually quite funny, Shredder 9 have no way for white to win, (Unless black plays 17. ... Nh3, as I described above.) I thought about 19. Re6+ that's a loss.
then I thought 19. Ne2, pointless, that's a loss. Black has such an advantage, unless, he plays Nh3. |
|
| Jun-06-05 |
| erikcu: I see the purpose of it now... I sometimes have a blind spot for the king. Gotta remember that check can screw up some of the best laid plans. |
|

|
| WannaBe: <erikcu> Don't feel bad, take a number and stand behind me in the line. I always lose/losing game(s) that way. I am the king (!!) of blind spot. |

| catfriend: <YouRang> <Overlooking is my speciality> Can I give you some lessons in it? I'm a GM in overlooking:) |

Nimh,
According to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games, 15.g3 may have been a better move, forcing the Black knight to vacate the f4 square. |
