| Oct-22-13 | | kkdogg: Oh, very tricky. 30. Qd8+ can be met with Re8 discovered check. |

| Oct-22-13 | | waustad: <jim>The only one they took isn't the only pun. They have to 1.) get it and 2.) feel like voting for it. How many of the folks who vote for them also are the ones represented? I don't know but I did one with a legal joke to hope that the lawyer amongst us who is very well represented would vote for it. |

| Oct-22-13 | | MarkThornton: Darren Wheeler set out, in principled fashion, to prove that White could grab 2 pawns in the opening. John Emms proved him wrong. This may well be a critically important game for the opening line 1.e4 c5 2.f4 <d5>. |

 | | Check It Out: <Jim> That's a worthy pun. Nice game here. Not only does Emms give up two pawns early on he sacs a knight to get his rooks doubled on the 7th rank. Gutsy play. I played an otb 5 minute blitz against Emms once. At least the game went 34 moves or so... |

| Oct-22-13 | | King Sacrificer: Where has white gone wrong? <18. Re1> instead of <18. Qe5> looks better i guess. Black queen at <b6> does a good job of supporting the sixth rank, eyeing d4 and letting <Rd8>. White shouldn't take on d4-pawn. |

| Oct-22-13 | | migratedlamb: <Where has white gone wrong?>
29.Ne2?? is probably the most obvious blunder which ended up costing White the game. Instead he needed to respond 29.♖e2, which allows flight squares for his King. I think it would have been smoother for Black to have played 26...♖xa2, instead of 26...♖xg2, with the threat of 27...Rf1 to follow.

| Oct-22-13 | | Moszkowski012273: 21...Nc5 looks like an example of making a game more complicated than it has to be. The simpler ...Qxd4 22.Nxd4,Rd6 is an easier path to victory. |
|
| Oct-22-13 | | kevin86: a fine finish! |
|
| Oct-22-13 | | Moszkowski012273: And yes if one move had to be chosen as losing, my vote would be the passive 27.Nc3 instead of the (with correct play) drawing 27.Nd6... |

| Apr-17-25 | | Walter Glattke: I found, before looking the solution, 22.-Nxd3+ 23.Qxd3 Ree2 24.Qd5+ Kh8 25.Qg5 (>Qh6+/>Qe3+) Rxg2 26.Qf4 Rgf2 27. Qg5 Qc6 28.Qd8+ Re8 now I see on my board 28.Qd1 (>Qxh1) Qxc4+ -++ e.g. 29.Kb1 Qxb4+ 30.Qb3 #3 30.-Re1+ 31.Rxe1 Qxe1+ 32. Qd1 Qxd1# |

 | | takebackok: Look out Thursday, played the forcing 22...Ree2 23. bxc5 (if Qxc5 Qh6+ and# incoming) Qh6+ 24. Kb1 Qd2 25. Qc3 (only move) Qxc3 26. Nxc3 Rb2+ 27. Kc1 Rfc2+ 28. Kd1 Rxc3 white's up two pawns but black going to win back some material then is it wining?! don't think so. |
|
| Apr-17-25 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: The king first try was: 22...Rxa2 23. Rxa2 Nb3+ 24. Kb2 Nxd4 25. Nxd4 Qxd4+ 26. Kc1 Qc3+ 27. Kb1 Qxb4+ 28. Rb2 Qc3 with an extra ♖. Otherwise, 22...Rxa2 23. Rb1 Ree2 24. Qd5+ Kh8 25. Qh5 Nxd3+ 26. Kd1 Rad2# or other similar moves. |
|
| Apr-17-25 | | Walter Glattke: 22.-Rxa2 23.bxc5 Rxa1+ 24.Qxa1 Q guards R, no win for black this way. |

| Apr-17-25 | | mel gibson: I wasn't sure but I thought 22. .. Ree2 might work. Stockfish 17 chose a different ply:
22. .. Ree2
(22. .. Ree2 (1. ... Ree2 2.bxc5 Qh6+ 3.Kb1 Qd2 4.Qc3 Qxc3 5.Nxc3 Rb2+ 6.Kc1 Rfc2+ 7.Kd1 Rxc3 8.g4
Rxd3+ 9.Kc1 Rdd2 10.a4 Rdc2+ 11.Kd1 Rxc4 12.h3 Rxc5 13.a5 a6 14.Re1 Rd5+
) +4.05/43 303)
score for Black +4.05 depth 43.
If I force SF to choose the game ply it's not as strong: 22. b4 Nxd3+
23. Qxd3
(23. Qxd3 (1.Qxd3 Ree2 2.Kd1 Qf6 3.Qd4 Rd2+ 4.Qxd2 Qxa1+ 5.Qc1 Qxa2 6.Nc3 Qb3+ 7.Ke1 Rc2 8.Qe3
Qxc3+ 9.Qxc3 Rxc3 10.Ke2 Rxc4 11.b5 Rc5 12.Ra1 Rxb5 13.Rxa7 Kf7 14.h4 Ke6
) -2.06/51 372)
score for White -2.06 depth 51. |

 | | scormus: <mel> well spotted. I also wasn't sure about 22 ... Ree2. Nor about or ... Nxe3. I thought it a nice sequence until W spoiled it with 0-1 a move too early. I wanted to see 30 Qd8+ Re8+, then 0-1. Great pun |

 | | Sally Simpson: Black to play.
click for larger viewLike others I also was drawn too 1...Rxa2 and the Knight fork on b3. I was well into analysing 2. bxc5 Rxa1+ 3.Kb2 and only spotted 3.Qxa1 could be played. (if this was Blitz or Rapid I can see me playing 1...Rxa2.) Backtrack and I went for 1...Nxd3+ 2.Qxd3 Ree2 thinking White must resign due to Qh6+ missing, as was played in the game 3.Kd1. when OTB panic may have set in, I'm sure I would spotted 3...Qf6 though it would have been from desperation and not calculation when playing 1...Nxd3+
But I am still claiming a 'solv'd' for this one. Yes, without doubt. 100% After realising 30.Rc3 was just another way to lose I would have allowed the mate 30.Qxf3 Rd2.

 | | Teyss: In mel's line, after 22...Ree2 23.bxc5 Qh6+ 24.Kb1 Qd2 we reach the following position. 
click for larger viewA rare case of Alekhine's gun, inverted: the battery appears on a rank instead of a file and the Queen is in front of the two Rooks, relative to the opponent's King. I propose to name such a position Enihkela's gun. |
