 | | Check It Out: I was wondering where you were going with all that blah, blah - nice pun! |
|
| Oct-31-13 | | Aleksandar Li: Offramp has some interesting ideas. Unusual motivation...My honest respect, althought apsorbs some bizzare aberations, but, as I presume, in a good manner to attract. Otherwise, here blac was brutally koherent. From A to Z. Respect as well. Greetings! |

 | | al wazir: I didn't see the elegant 38...Ne4+, but 38...Qxc2+ 39. Kg1 Ne2+ 40. Kf1 Nxg3+ 41. Ke1 Qb1+ 42. Kf2 Rc2+ 43. Kxg3 Qg1+ is good enough to win eventually. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | opus: 36...Bg1+ 37. Kxg1 Ne2+ 38. Kh2 Qf2+ 39. Kh1 Qg1# or 36...Bg1+ 37. Kxg1 Ne2+ 38. Rxe2 Rc1+ 39. Kh2 Qh1# or 36...Bg1+ 37. Kxg1 Ne2+ 38. Kh2 Qxg3+ 39. Kh1 Qg1# |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | Walter Glattke: 36.-Bg1+ 37.Kxg1 Qxg3+ 38.Rg2 Ne2+ 39.Qxe2 Rc1+ 40.Qf1 Rxf1+ 41.Kxf1 Qxd3+ 42.Kg1 Qe3+ wins, 42.-gxf6?? 43.Bxf6+ Kh7 44.Rg7+ Kh8 45.Rg3+ Kh7 46.Rxd3!
B) Match 39.Qxe4 Rxd2+ 40.Qe2 Qxe2+ 41.Kg1 Qg2# |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | sudoplatov: I didn't see 38...Ne4+ but I don't think 38...Qxc2+ works against after 39.Kf3. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | opus: bishop saves the day
36...Bg1+ 37. Kxg1 Qe3+ 38. Kh2 Qxe6 |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | drollere: i got as far as 36. .. Bg1+, 37. Kxg1 Qd1+, but assumed 38. Kg2 to avoid the N fork. in that case, Qxd2 39. Kf3 Qxd3+ 40. Kg4 Qe2+ and after clearing the Q's black is up the exchange and two pawns. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | unferth: <sudoplatov> 38...Qxc2+ 39 Kf3 Qxd3+ and black either mates or forces a queen trade into an easily won ending, I believe. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | Brenin: After the fairly obvious 36 ... Bg1+, forcing 37 Kxg1 Qd1+ and 38 ... Qxc2+, White can try to avoid the N checks with 39 Kf3 Qxd3+ 40 Kg4 but then 40 ... Qg6+ 41 Kf3 Re8 leaves White the exchange + 2P down with both of his minor pieces pinned. Alternatively, Black can simply swap Qs with 40 ... Qe2+ and win the endgame, as <drollere> suggested. |

|
| Apr-14-21 | | AlicesKnight: Found the Bg1+ - Qd1+ sequence, which will give Black an exchange advantage and time to secure his back rank at the very least. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | stacase: White is threatening mate, so Black has to defend or say check. Who can say check? Oh! How 'bout 36...Bg1+ forcing 37.Kxg1 followed with 37...Qd1+ at which point White should tip his King over. |

| Apr-14-21 | | saturn2: Saw that after 36...Bg1+ 37. Kxg1 Qd1+ 38. Kg2 Qxc2+ 39. Kg1 Qd1+ black can force an exchange of queens by Qe2+ at some point for example 40. Kf2 Qe2+ 41. Qxe2 Nxe2
pawn and exchange |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | njchess: Black's 36. ... ♗g1+ and 37. ... ♕d1+ were fairly obvious but 38. ... ♘e4+! was not. Given that it was the 38th move, and probably up against some sort of time control, I wonder how long it took Gelfand to find this sequence. I assume it started sooner than the puzzle sequence, but not by much since ♘c3 doesn't happen until move 32. And, even then, it looks like he is playing more for a passed pawn than for anything else. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | 1g1yy: I'll give myself 1/2 credit again today. I went through a lot of lines and I'm pretty sure I got the game line but I swapped in the Kg2 move to avoid N checks (as others above) and considered it a fail. Then after xx more tries I got it to work with Kf2 and the N getting involved; looked and yep that was the game line. But then I started reading others comments, and I'm back to calling it 1/2 credit due to suboptimal play by white allowing it to work... Black is only one tempo away from falling victim to a K hunt of their own, so I just wasn't sure. I see now someone posted up a SF analysis showing Black +14.52 depth 45, but I'd bet I could manage to turn that around with barely an effort. Lol. |

This site is no nearly unusable on a mobile phone.> I'm not ready for adblocker, it only tells them who sees the ads. OK that's cynical, but you can (on a PC) press [ F11 ] to expand to full screen and that works pretty well. Oh! I see you're on a phone, then never mind! |

| Apr-14-21 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I find the first moves: 36...♗g1+ 37. ♔xg1. Then I tried 37...♕d1+ 38. ♔g2 The game showed the stupidity of 38.♔f2?? of course. I didn't see anything better or simpler than ♕xc2+ 39. ♔f1 ♕xd3+ 40. ♔g2 ♕e2+ 41. ♕xe2 ♘xe2 and Black still have to fight.
For this reason, the King considers 37...♕xg3+ with the possibilities: a- White uses the ♖ interposition: 38. ♖g2 ♘e2+ 39. ♕xe2 ♖c1+ 40. ♕f1 ♖xf1+ 41. ♔xf1 ♕xd3+ 42. ♖e2 gxf6... or 40. ♕f1 ♕e3+ 41. ♖f2 ♖xf1+ 42. ♔xf1 ♕xe7. White receive check-mated if tries to escape with his ♔: 39. ♔f1 ♖c1+ 40. ♔xe2 ♕xg2# or 39. ♔h1 ♖c1+ 40. ♖g1 ♖xg1# . b- 38. ♔f1 ♕f3+ Now if 39. ♖f2 ♕h1#, therefore 39. ♔e1 ♕d1+ 40. ♔f2 ♘e4+ 41. ♕xe4 ♖xc2+ 42. ♔g3 ♕g1+ 43. ♔f4 ♕g5+ 44. ♔f3 ♕g2+ 45. ♔f4 ♖f2+ 46. ♔e5 ♖e2 win the ♕. White is dead if tries to escape: 43. ♔h4 ♕g5# or 43. ♔f3 ♖f2#. The smart fellows already saw the whole picture. |

| Apr-14-21 | | agb2002: Black is one pawn up.
White threatens Qxc8#.
36... gxf6 loses to 37.Bxf6+.
The white rook is defenseless. Therefore, 36... Bg1+ 37.Kxg1 Qd1+ (37... Ne2+ 38.Rxe2 Rc1+ 39.Re1 Qxg3+ 40.Kf1 and Black only has perpetual): A) 38.Kf2 Qxc2+
A.1) 39.Kf3 Qxd3+ ends up with a decisive material advantage. For example 40.Kg2 (40.Kf2 Ne4+, followed by a check with the rook, wins) 40... Qe2+ 41.Qxe2 Nxe2. A.2) 39.Ke1 Qd1+ 40.Kf2 Ne4+ and mate in three.
A.3) 39.Kf1 Qxd3+ is similar to previous lines.
A.4) 39.Kg1 Ne2+ is also winning. For example 40.Kf1 (40.Kf2 Nf4+ and 41... Nxe6) 40... Qd1+ 41.Kf2 Qg1+ 42.Kxe2 Rc2+ 43.Kf3 Rf2+ 44.Ke4 (44.Kg4 Qd1+ 45.Kh4 g5#) 44... Re2+, etc. B) 38.Kg(h)2 Qxc2+ as above. |
|
| Apr-14-21 | | agb2002: Curiously, I saw Ne4+ two moves later. |
|
| Apr-15-21 | | TheBish: <chrisowen: ...gungho aortas jog on a finish...> I can with nearly 100% (OK, let's make it 100%) certainty say that that expression has never been written or uttered before in human history. I am about 99.9% certain that even "gungho aortas" has never been uttered. Maybe by a cardiologist under the influence of something. Like magic mushrooms. But still doubtful. |
