| Nickisimo: Hmm...I saw everything up to d7 and  g1, so in my estimation I missed it. After all, what good is knowing the first moves if you don't know the continuation? 'Like boat on dry land' |

| white pawn: I almost got today's puzzle. I didn't analyze it all of the way, however. I got up to 25.d7, and then I just figured black would resign. I didn't think of the Queen coming back in to play. I don't know if I would have thought of 26.Rf1, but I'm pretty proud of myself for getting as far as I did. |

| Helloween: <Shadout Mapes> Remember, the puzzles have to be a sure win for the side to move. In Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999, after the over-optimistic 24.Rxd4?, if Black plays the simple 24...Kb6! the position is = or slightly  .To <other kibitzers>, make sure you check out the earlier kibitzes for analysis before asking about a move in a post. I gave the analysis for both the 25...Qb8 defence and 22.Qxf7 for this puzzle in my first post. |

| iron maiden: <Shadout Mapes> The Kasparov-Topalov game would be one of the easiest puzzles ever, since half the people here probably know the game by heart. |

| Eatman: Bxf7 was easy to find but, Rf1 finish was a tough one. |
|
| Aug-11-04 |
| Stonewaller2: I had analyzed 25. ...  c7 26. xd4? d8 but 26. f1! also handles that, the point being the Black can't take the  d7 becuase of xf8#.Nuts, no sac . . . I'm ohfer two today. |

| bob725: Nooooooooooooooo.
My 2 run streak ended so prematurely.
My move was rook x pawn d4. |
|
| Aug-11-04 |
| Chesspatch: mine was 22.Qxf7+ Rxf7 and hopefully, the bishop pinning the rook would buy some time for the pawn storm and rook attack. |

| Chesspatch: Question, why didn't black play 14. ... b4? |
|
Aug-11-04
 |
| artemis: <Chesspatch> 14. ... b4 is refuted by 15. Nd5 exd5 16. exd5 Nxd5 17. Bxg7 kxg7 18. Bxd5 Qc7 19. Bxb7 Qxb7 20. Qxe7 with a clear advantage for white. |

| Shadout Mapes: The Kasparov- Topalov thing was, of course, a joke. But for those who don't remember every aspect, Kasparov vs Topalov, 1999 Move 36.? White to Move and Win would be a great puzzle. |

 |
| patzer2: As a footnote to one of <Helloween>'s two side variations, if 25...Qb8 then 26.Rde1 Kf7 (26...Qd8 loses for Black as pointed out by Helloween above) 27. Rf1+! Kg3 28. Rfxf8 Qd6 29. d8Q gives White the win. |

| Tiamat: I don't think I saw the last rook move,'t remember now, but definitely was well played <cjhasbrouck> What's TL? Tiamat is a dragon goddess in certain histories, as well as a dragon god in some games. She may also be in TL. |
