| Dec-19-05 | | trumbull0042: A subtle puzzle. A nice relief from brutish queen sacs often seen on Mondays (not that I don't enjoy brutish queen sacs, but they were starting to get kind of old). |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | SickedChess: quite easy to find just 3 seconds for me :) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | chesscrazy: Interesting puzzle. I got it but missed the counterpin (I got Qh4 but didn't see the pin. How did I get that? No clue). I have a very strange brain. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | taerone: Nice puzzle, pin against pin. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | DtRooster: I got it within about 20 seconds, so it couldn't have been too hard. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | flamboyant: yeah took be about 20-30 sec also, very cool monday puzzle, i really had to focus on the program, which is kinda rare for a monday ;) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | robertbj: I quit forever |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | mr j: Nice puzzel. It would be very satisfying to pull off such a winning move in a game :-) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | beenthere240: I think most people see it in a real game (unless they're in a time crunch, since all other moves lose!) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | apoorv: HARDEST Monday puzzle of all time (took me 20 seconds) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | BishopofBlunder: I took way too long trying to solve this puzzle. I kept looking for a Boden's Mate. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | Chess Classics: I got that one, but I'd seen it before. I think it was in Fred Reinfeld's "Win at Chess", a good book for bad tacticians like me! Regards,

| Dec-19-05 | | Tariqov: Pretty easy for a monday,is it really hard?? seems like a normal monday puzzle.
<BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops! |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | JeffCaruso: < <BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops!> He knows. He's just joshing! |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | snowie1: It's the little things in life that hurt; you can sit on a mountain, but you can't sit on a pin. |
|
| Dec-20-05 | | BishopofBlunder: <JeffCaruso: < <BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops!> He knows. He's just joshing!> Must have been my deadpan delivery... |

| Aug-27-06 | | syracrophy: This game has the same taste of pins of this position: Brundtrup-Budrich, Berlin, 1954
click for larger view1.Bc5! Bb6 2.Qf4+! wins the queen |
|
| Nov-15-10 | | sevenseaman: Both were hanging by the same noose; the taller one just managed to touch the ground with his toes! |
|
| Dec-04-11 | | indoknight: the ending is like Timman vs Kasparov, 1985 |
|
| Nov-06-20 | | George Wallace: Beautiful winning move. Black seemed to be on the ropes and then he pulls this out. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Curious attack. Normally, one neutralizes an attack with exchanges, but here it appeared that Black's attack grew stronger with each one. |

 | | HeMateMe: Pretty cool pun. |

 | | Teyss: As noted above 36.Kf2 was a mistake, Kf1 would lead to a winning position. Maybe White wanted to play it safe and protect the e3 Pawn which was not necessary. Maybe he wanted to provoke the pin 36...Rf8 in order to place the counter-pin 37.Rd8, in which case it doesn't matter where the WK is placed, but he surely didn't see the counter-fork 37...Qh4+. 36...? was a Monday puzzle in 2005 which seems difficult precisely because of these two counters. Surprising this player's name has never been punned before, it's a most punnable one. |
|
| Oct-28-24 | | Georgian: The E2 pawn was never moved, and in the end served as an impediment to his own king |
|
Oct-29-24
 | | Honza Cervenka: It ain't over till it's Chekhover. 29...Qg4 would have been better. |
