Dec-11-12		Trigonometrist: <Sacrificing the king just to save the queen usually results in a loss.> Thank you for that. I really just had to see that written somewhere.

Dec-11-12		Nilsson: 25...Kg8 26.Qh7+ Kf7 27.Rg3! /JN

Dec-11-12		Abdel Irada: <<•>Rooked!<•>> Perhaps it was really the pawn move to follow that she missed, but when Arianne saw White's sacrifice, I expect she resigned on the spot; the alternative doesn't bear thinking about. In any event, Black's unfun begins with <<•>29. Rxd5†! > This wins at least a queen and knight for a rook. Black will have to play 29. ...Kc7 and allow 30. Rxd8. This is because of what happens if she takes the rook: <29. ...exd5?? 30. e6#> In her defense, Arianne was 14 years younger and weaker in 1998 than she is today.

Dec-11-12		Abdel Irada: And I hadn't even realized how young that meant: She was 12 at the time of this game.

Dec-11-12		standardwisdom: Wow! Really nice puzzle. I started playing it from 20. Bxh7+ onwards, and my first thought was that OMG the black king got away. I wonder if Wimmer saw all the way till e6# before playing Bxh7+. Probably not, but if the black king does get away, black will eventually win, no?

Dec-11-12		keypusher: Took me longer than it should. I had a hard time "seeing" that the bishop's diagonal was opened by e5-e6.

Dec-11-12		scormus: Took me longer than it should have too. I was looking for a Q-sac win until I remembered Monday was yesterday

Dec-11-12		pericles of athens: "smokin' Herb"

Dec-11-12		Oxspawn: I suppose it must be 29 Rxd5+ if 29. exd5 30 e6++ if 29. Bd6 30. Rxd6+ If 29. Kc7 30 Rxd8

Dec-11-12		Nightsurfer: ... and Black mess has started with the matrix of the classic Bishop's sacrifice on h7, after <20.Bxh7+! ...> pp. ... - amazing since that sacrifice has worked even though Black King tried to run away ... but Black Majesty did not geed too far! :-D

Dec-11-12		chrisowen: Decadant I think it is dog in delve at essintial 29.Rxd5+ as black kings covering queens line of sight it book in until turn around knightd7 can in effect be considered worthwhile go building a position amend rook in f3 and h3 i get confused turn around b6 right eyes a4 then bishop sac h7 in dune i target 22...qd7 as a possible defence when white has only plug in rg3 to continue he assualt queen in h5 and rookg3 g7 gives slight advantage in?

Dec-11-12		chrisowen: Swindle it not on in at she cards once g6 as king gets dined upon ya knightd5 in forestalls the end 29.Rxd5+ king is supplying 29...Kc7 when courting the act from 30.Rxd8 l0 in e6 then bishopf4 e5 e6 mate.

Dec-11-12		kevin86: Easy,if black takes the knight,e6 is #

Dec-11-12		radtop: Black should have captured the e pawn when he had the chance on move 16.

Dec-11-12		GreenLantern: <radtop: Black should have captured the e pawn when he had the chance on move 16.> Black was a she.

Dec-11-12		Castleinthesky: I picked a Wimmer!

Dec-11-12		waustad: It wasn't the first thing I tried but didn't take long. Smothering attemots with the knights didn't work, so what else is forcing? Oh yeah grab the knight and it all falls apart.

Dec-11-12		waustad: She was really young during this game. She didn't turn 13 until the end of the year in 1998.

Dec-11-12		mistreaver: White to play, 29, Easy. Most obvious is 29.Rxd5+ with the following sequence: 29.. exd5 30.e6 mate 29...Kc7 30 Rxd8 and white has won the queen

Dec-11-12		Kikoman: <Rxd5!> and White wins! Kihx3

Dec-11-12		M.Hassan: <chessthomas: In your line B), black should play 28.Kg8> You are absolutely right. May be White should get a help from e Rook to complete the attack. Thank you for your comment.

Dec-11-12		bachbeet: Got it. The rook sac really gives white a big advantage with either the Q capture or mate with the pawn.

Dec-14-12		Abdel Irada: <GreenLantern: <radtop: Black should have captured the e pawn when he had the chance on move 16.> Black was a she.> And how!

Dec-14-12		dehanne: Anyone remember Gormallygate?

Oct-02-24		FSR: We Have a Wimmer!
