Pretty easy for a Wednesday. |

That is an illegal move. |

| Dec-26-12 | | Abdel Irada: <<•>Target praxis<•>> We are faced with a strange position in which it is plainly inferable that White has aimed his pieces at g7 for some time. The pawn on e6, for example, was obviously pushed recently to open a line for the bishop on d4, and Black closed it again with ...f6. In the process, however, he created a monster of the e-pawn, and we will now look on as it comes back to destroy him. Of course, in so dominant a position, White *could* win quietly with 22. Nf5, forcing Black to give up decisive material to stop mate. But since we're not always offered such an advantage, it is a good practice to be efficient. The key move, therefore:
<<•>22. Rxg7†...> What merit elevates the sacrifice above the quiet threat? Time. By creating an immediate crisis, the sac forces the defender to spend for capturing the offered piece a tempo that he might otherwise use to (re)organize his defense. <<•>22. ...Kxg7> Of course not 22. ...Kh8?? 23. Qxh6#.
<<•>23. Nxf5†, Kg8> This holds relatively longest. On 23. ...Kh7 or ...Kh8, White mates in two, starting with 24. Qxh6†. <<•>24. Qxh6, Rf7> Relatively the best, but still hopeless.
<<•>25. Qg6†...> This is useful to force the king into the corner: Black can't allow 25. ...Rg7?? 26. Qxg7# or 25. ...Kf8?? 26. Qxf7#. (If, on the other hand, White carelessly plays 25. exf7†?, Black gets to play on for a while. <<•>25. ...Kh826. exf7  >
Black can resign without qualm, for mate is imminent and ineluctable. |

| Dec-26-12 | | morfishine: White is down a pawn, but this is irrelevant since he has the move and
a forcing tactic:
<22.Rxg7+ Kxg7> forced; If 22...Kh8, 23.Nxf5 followed by 24.Qxh6 mate <23.Nxf5+ Kg8> forced; If 23...Kh7/h8 then 24.Qxh6+ Kg8 25.Qg7 mate <24.Qxh6 Qc7> How else to cover g7? Returning material fails: 24...Rf7 25.Qg6+ Kh8
26.exf7 Qf8 27.Bxf6+
<25.e7> Decisive; Black Queen is cut-off from g7

| Dec-26-12 | | david p: saw Rxg7+ that`s the killer |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | Bengambit: 22.Qxh6+ Kxh6 23.Nf5+ Kh7 24.Rxh7+Kh8 25.e7 is what I found.... |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | mike1: Nxf5 is killing too. there is no defence against Rxg7 after that.
22.Nxf5 Rg8 23. Rxg7 Rxg7 24. Qxh6 |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | morfishine: <Bengambit> Nice, but after 22.Qxh6+ isn't <22...gxh6> better for Black? |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | zb2cr: I found this one after some time spent chasing 22. Nf5. After perhaps 30 seconds of thought on that line, suddenly I thought that perhaps reversing the order intended might work and voila--the game continuation appeared in my mind! |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | Nick46: Rxg7+ is not only the killer but a weighty move: a Rooksac, which is roughly the German pronunciation for "Rucksack" |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | James D Flynn: White is 2 pawns down but has a winning attack by 22….Rxg7+ 23.Kxg7 Nxf5+ 24.Kg8 QXh6 25.Qc7 e7 26.Rf7 Qg6+(who needs a 2nd Q) 27.Kh8 Bxf6+ 28.Rxf6 Qg7# |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | Patriot: <<morfishine>: <Bengambit> Nice, but after 22.Qxh6+ isn't <22...gxh6> better for Black?> Definitely. 22...Kxh6 gives white too much initiative. 22...gxh6 23.Nxf5 (without the check) gives black time to defend. |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | mistreaver: White to play. Medium/Easy. 22. ?.
The first move is obvious:
22. Rxg7+ Kxg7
Black has to take, 22...Kh8 23. Qxh6 is mate
23. Nf5+ Kg8
In order to prevent white queen coming into assault with tempo.
24.e7
I think this is the key move, on 24. Qxh6 black defends with Qe7 and white has nothing better then perpetual
with 25. Qg6+ Kh8 26.Qh6+
24.. resigns is probably correct move. |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | mistreaver: Ah, what a stupid mistake, Qe7 is not possible because of Nxe7. my move still wins, but white should avoid the following line:
24... Re8 25 Qxh6 Rxe7
The correct move is
25 Bxf6 with decisive attack |
|
| Dec-26-12 | | Oxspawn: I believe that the black king gets boxed in on Boxing Day. 22. Rg7+ Kxg7
23. Nxf5+ Kg8
24. Qxh6 with mate to follow on h7. |

|
| Dec-26-12 | | tatarch: What's the best continuation if black plays 20...Rg8? 21.Ng5+ hxg5 22.Rxg5 is interesting, but I don't see a win after fxe6. Other ideas? |
|
Dec-26-12
 | | fm avari viraf: I think, Black's fortress looks fragile & White's pieces are ready to invade with 22.Rxg7 Kxg7 23.Nxf5 Kg8 24.Qxh6 wins hands down. |

 | | perfidious: Black's play in this game reminds one of Alekhine's annotations to Bogoljubov vs Botvinnik, 1936, in which we find the following delicious nugget: <White plays the whole game with the resignation of a lamb under the threat of the butcher's knife.> Then there's this one, which could as easily serve as an apt alternative: <perfidious: The finish of this game brings something to mind that Keene and Botterill wrote in their seminal work on the Pirc: 'As with most brilliancies, the loser should be given the prize for making it all possible.' Or something like that anyway-thinking of that passage is really rather humorous.> I Theodorovich vs H Ridout, 1976 |

| Dec-26-12 | | Jambow: Saw this in a blitz instant which is typical for me, either it's immediate or I get utterly lost on a long journey. Tamaz is a creative player now residing in the U.S. I have always been a fan of his B20 scicilian response 1. e4...c5 2. Bb3 worked well when I played chess online. |
