| Dec-21-13 | | gofer: It would seem on the face of it that black can exchange its queen
for R+2B, which is a pretty fair exchange...
<23 ... Qxg5!?>
<24 Qxg5 Rxe2>
Bc2 has nowhere good to go to and cannot be defended... ...easily... 25 Qc1 d3
26 Bb1 Rbe8
Now this is all conjecture, but it looks okay...
~~~
Okay I got it, but I didn't see the main line. The back rank mate
threats are the main thing that make the sacrifice work. The combination of 2R + 2B against R&Q is just too much for white to deal with... |

| Dec-21-13 | | James D Flynn: 23…..d3 24.Bxd8 dxe2 25.Re1 Rxd8(threat Rd2 and the B is lost )26.f4 (to protect the R on e1 and give the K a flight square) Rd2 27.Bb1 Rd1 28.Bc2 Rxe1+ 29.Qxe1 Bxc3 30.Qxc3 e1=Q+ 31 Qxe1 Rxe1+ 32.Kf2 and Black emerges with R, B, and 4 pawns versus B and 4 pawns, |
|
| Dec-21-13 | | James D Flynn: 23….d3 and if 24.Rxe8 Qxe8 25.Bxd3 Bxc3 26.Rb1 Bxd3 27.Qxd3 Bxb4 and 28.Rxb4 loses to Qe1+ therefore Black has time to protect his B on b4 or retreat it to d6 or f8 and his united passed pawns give him a huge, probably winning, advantage. |
|
| Dec-21-13 | | Kinghunt: Not sure I worked out enough of the lines to give myself full credit, but I did quickly decide that black should probably sac the queen. Black gets a rook and a bishop immediately, with strong initiative due to the attack on the c2 bishop, the far-advanced d pawn, and the weak back rank. In every line I looked at, white had to give up his other bishop for the c-pawn, leaving black with R+B+B for the queen, which is enough to be confident in winning the ending. |
|
| Dec-21-13 | | Patriot: <James D Flynn> Interesting line! I thought 23...d3 24.Bxd8 dxe2 25.f4 may work but Houdini suggests 25.Be7! gives an even game. (25...Rxe7 26.Qh4+ wins) |

| Apr-02-15 | | morfishine: A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer." ***** |

|
| Apr-02-15 | | kevin86: Sadly, black loses the queen...but happily gains 2 bishopsand a rook. Not a bad trade. |
|
| Apr-02-15 | | thegoodanarchist: I wouldn't even call this a pun. Salwe in place of save. Totally LAME |
|
| Apr-02-15 | | Karne: Fyodor was one of the leading anarchists in 1903, and purposed a very innocent theory which postulated that the universe and all it's content is fundamentally non-existent, which was rather a very dull claim since he had neither an access to a telescope or had ever casted a glance at the miserable cosmos. |

| Sep-14-24 | | mel gibson: I thought 23. .. Ra8 but there were so many lines. Stockfish 17 follows the game line:
23. .. Qxg5
(23. .. Qxg5 (1. ... Qxg5 2.Qxg5 Rxe2 3.Qh4+ Kg8 4.Bxg6 fxg6 5.cxd4 Rf8 6.f3 Bf6 7.Qf4 Re6 8.Qg4 Kg7
9.h3 Rd8 10.Rd1 Re7 11.Kh1 Rd5 12.Qg3 Red7 13.Qe1 Rf5 14.Ra1 Re7 ) +3.73/50 674) score for Black +3.73 depth 50.
if I force SF to play my choice it's slightly better: 23. .. Ra8
(23. .. Ra8 24. Rc1 (1.Rc1 Qxg5 2.Qxg5 Rxe2 3.g4 d3 4.Bxd3 Bxd3 5.Rd1 Bc4 6.Qh4+ Kg8 7.Rd8+ Re8 8.Rxa8

 | | scormus: <mel: 23 ... Ra8> Well seen. I thought this was definitely Saturday level, and I didn't get it. |
|
| Sep-14-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: As being "insane", the king thought the most amazing try: 23...Bxe2 24. Bxd8 Rbxd8 25. cxd4 Rxd4 26. h3 Be5 or 25. Qxc7 d3 26. Bd1 Bxd1 27. Rxd1 d2. I guess B has some tactical winning chances to explore. Many lines to explore... |
|
| Sep-14-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: <chris owen> Sometimes I feel some remembering (in Portuguese, the special word "saudade", Brazil gave to the world) from the time you had showed us your excellent level in Chess in your analyses. Few persons would knew it and many even don't believe how many times you indeed find the winning move, not only the usual joking phrases that followed them. If sometimes you'll give us your interesting analysis would be very very good! |
|
| Sep-14-24 | | sp12: How about this:
23..Ra8
if 24. BxQ, Rxa1 mate
24.Rxa8 Rxe2 (Q sacrifice as threatening mate again on first rank), now we are a rook up
25. Ra1 Qa8! (cannot take as mate again on first rank)
26. Rc1 to protect. bishop...continue to attack. Bishop/rook etc |
|
| Sep-14-24 | | TheaN: Honestly a pretty easy combination for a Saturday: <23....Qxg5 24.Qxg5 Rxe2> is forced, and now <25.Qh4+ Kg8 26.Be4> kind of is as well or White will lose the other bishop too:
click for larger view
Who in their rightful mind would choose White here is not properly evaluating activity. Black surrendered the queen for a rook and bishop but the queen's a bystander here. Both <26....Re8 -+> and 26....dxc3 -+ win easily. |
|
| Sep-15-24 | | Rosbach: 23. ...d3 was my best try but it as pointed out further up it won't really lead to an advantage. |

 | | PaulPetrovitj: Salwe should have played 15.- h6 instead of -g6 and 16.-, Bf8 instead of -, Be7. However thereafter he played consistently the best or close to best moves. An interesting game, Dus often played enterprising chess, but he was not always very solid. |
