 | | Fusilli: 26...Re1!!
click for larger viewOne of the most beautiful moves ever.
The rook can be taken with FOUR pieces and all captures are poisonous. And not taking it loses too. Just fantastic. |

| | perfidious: <thegoldenband: Amazing move, and I didn't come anywhere near it....> Presented with this position in an OTB game, not at all likely that I should have managed either. A key point to the soundness of Dueball's idea is that, as in the far better-known games Lasker vs J Bauer, 1889 and Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914, material is gained at the end of the combination which produces a clearly won position. |

| May-21-21 | | Walter Glattke: Did not expect Nb2 after Re1
A) 26.-Re1 27.Nxe1 Nb2! 28.Ng2 Nxb1 29.Rxd1 Qe2 30.Ne3 Qxf3+ Q for R+N+P
B) 27.Rxe1 Nf2+ 28.Kg2 Nxd1 29.Rxd1 Qe2+!
C) 27.Nb4 Nf2+ 28.Kg2 Qxf1#
D) 27.Qxe1 Nxe1 28.Rxe1 Ne5 29.Kg2 -+ Q for R+N |

 | | al wazir: How did I miss this one???
I know how.
I counted *four* pieces that could capture the ♖ after 26...Re1: ♕, ♖, ♗, ♘. So I said, that *can't* be right. |

| May-21-21 | | nikonoel: A good way to start a Friday but I expected something a bit more difficult. Did the CCTP method. Check for Checks, Captures, Threats and Pawn breaks (in that order). 1. Checks : none relevant
2. Captures: Qxa4 doesn't seem promising to say the least 3. Threats: I see 2 pieces which could potentially be vulnerable: Rf1 and Nc2. There is also Nf2 looming over the queen (fork). I briefly considered Ne1 attacking the rook but it quickly became obvious that Re1 followed by either Nf2+ or Nb2 is winning. 4: Pawn breaks: no need to look for them as #3 made them irrelevant anyway. |

| May-21-21 | | nalinw: What is the point of having an engine that does not find the solution to this problem? It gives 26.... d4 (-1.35) as the best move!
Once the correct move is played the eval drops to - 7.85 |
|
| May-21-21 | | agb2002: I know this game. Surely that's why I didn't post 10 years ago. |
|
| May-21-21 | | TheBish: I got this rather quickly. Maybe it was familiar because I posted the correct solution almost 10 years ago? Or more likely, it was a tactic I came across on my phone tactics app in the last year! |
|
| May-21-21 | | murkia: <nalinw>I think the engine has just been serviced ;-) |

| May-21-21 | | malt: 26...Re1 27.B:e1 (27.N:e1 )
(27.R:e1 Nf2+ and 28...N:d1 )
27...Nb2! wins the Queen, Δ 28...♕:f1# |
|
| May-21-21 | | Brenin: Oh, dear! I looked carefully at 26 ... Re1!!, and thought I had refuted it, but I missed the follow-up 27 ... Nb2. What a beautiful and unexpected combination. The role of the P on f3 is critical to its success. |
|
| May-21-21 | | Lambda: I like the way white can lose the same, slightly unusual material balance in three different ways. |

 | | Dionysius1: Ah chess, thou art a heartless beast. A familiar self blocking tactic provoked in a totally unfamiliar situation. Hurtful and beautiful! |
|
| May-21-21 | | awfulhangover: Omg, what a fantastic play by black. Too hard for me. |
|
| May-21-21 | | griga262: One of the VERY rare Fridays I got. After 26. ..Re1, either the queen or the king must fall. |
|
| May-21-21 | | griga262: <FSR: I've heard that the 1974 Olympiad was very Nice.>
Very funny! |

| May-21-21 | | mel gibson: I didn't see it but once I was shown
it was so obvious - I'm embarrassed.

 | | mjmorri: LOL. I spent my time analyzing the hallucination 26...Ne1 27.Rxe1 Nf2+. Of course the N is no longer on d3 to play Nf2+. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: I missed it back in November, 2011 and I missed it today. At least I am consistent. <brenin> <The role of the P on f3 is critical to its success.> Duly noted. Also check the role of the pawn on h2, (now on h3)

| May-21-21 | | Refused: 26...Re1! took me a bit longer to work it out than it should've.
a) 27.Rxe1 Nf2+ -+
b) 27.Bxe1 Nb2!! and the dual threat of Qxf1# and Nxd1 makes this -+. |
