 | | cu8sfan: Wow! This must be the first time I got at least some of the lines and ideas of a Sunday puzzle. Lately I've been doing lots and lots of tactics because I found I had some weakness in this area and it's nice to see it paying off a little. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | euripides: White's 10.Bxf6 is relatively rare and 11...Kf8 looks like a good response; Black then takes complete control. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | TrueBlue: Here is another pretty line :)
28. ..Rxg3 29. hxg3 Qxg3 30. Qh2 Rh8 31. Qxh8 Bxg2+
32. Rxg2 Qxe1+ 33. Rg1 Qxg1+ 34. Kxg1 e2+ 35. Kg2 e1=Q I think first move was ovious (took me less than a second to consider it). Now deciding whether to take with the queen or rook was the tricky part. Key was to recognize that the e pawn was black's stongest asset. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Sim1: Well that was nice, worked out a Sunday puzzle (including the double rook sac) just by asking what does black have? Answer: Just about every single one of his pieces pointing at the white king! |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Themofro: A great combination. I got everything up until ...30 Rh8 i only considered Bxg2 at this point, which would also give black the advantage but as Aagard points out the opposite-colored bishops give white drawing chances. A fantastic combination for sure. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Happypuppet: <Fisheremon> 36. Qh2 Qe2+ 37. Kh3 (37. Kh1 Qf1+ 38. Qg1 Qxg1# or 37. Kg3 Bd6+) Qh5+ 38. Kg2 (38. Kg3 Bd6+) Qg4+ 39. Qg3 Qe2+ 40. Kh3 Qxc2 |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | blair45: I got part of the winning line, but, playing through the game, on move 33 ..., I was looking for different ways the black queen could smoke the white king. I missed the elegant 33 ... Bc4. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Towershield: <happypuppet> After 39.Kf1 I don't see a clear winning line for black. Which is why I think 36..e5 is the best try. 36.Qh2 e5 37.Kh3 and here I think black has good winning chances. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | Towershield: I also find it interesting how easy it is for black to win after 37.Kf3?? e4+. If 38.Kg4 Bf2!! (39.Qc7+ is useless) and white is toast here. |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | greensfield: Great minds think alike!
<Jan-07-07 TrueBlue> & <Nov-11-06 tpstar> Nice discovered check that 34...e2+

Which is why I think 36..e5 is the best try. 36.Qh2 e5 37.Kh3 and here I think black has good winning chances.> Certainly the best for Black is 36...e5, still not so easy, e.g. (from my analysis) 37.Kh3 Bf2 38.Bd1 Qd2 39.Qh1 Qxb2 40.Qb7+ Kf8 41.Qc6 Kg7 42.Qg2+ Kh7 43.Bb3 Qxc3 44.Kh2 Be3 45.Qg4 Bf4+ 46.Kg2 Qd2+ 47.Kf1 Qd3+ 48.Kf2 Qd7 49.Ke2 a5 50.Qh3+ Kg7 51.Qd3 Qe8 52.Bd5 b4 53.Qa6 Qd7 54.Qd3 Qc8 55.Bb3 Qc1 56.Kf2 Qh1 57.Qf3 Qh4+ 58.Ke2 Qg5 59.Bc2 Qg1 60.Bb3 Qc1 61.Qd3 etc. It seems to me that White has enough resources to resist here. So I'v come to a find of a simple move 28...Qb8 with fierce attack in all variations (see my previous messages). |

| Jan-07-07 | | forbismarck: hey, i have that book =) |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | kevin86: Iguess I came close to getting this one-I saw the first three moves,but couldn't quite finish it :( |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: Nice combo, I ought to put this one on my problem page. ---> BTW, I got the first move, but never even saw (or considered) 30...♖h8!!! |
|
| Jan-07-07 | | ALEXIN: I got the 3 first move but missed 31.Bxg2...the most easy part of the combination ! |
|
| Jan-08-07 | | Fisheremon: <greensfield: Great minds think alike! <Jan-07-07 TrueBlue> & <Nov-11-06 tpstar> Nice discovered check that 34...e2+>
Perhaps you didn't pay attention about our discussion of 36.Qh2 ?! |
|
| Jan-08-07 | | Fisheremon: <Nov-11-06 tpstar><Jan-07-07 TrueBlue>
After the main variation 32.Rxg2 Qxe1+ 33.Rg1 (33.Kh2 Bd6+ 34. Kh3 Qh1+ mates) Qxg1+! 34.Kxg1 e2+ 35.Kg2 e1=Q with 36.Qh2 still under a question mark (at least no one could provide a clear win for Black) I tried to save the combo with 28...Rxg3 and found a way for it: 29.hxg3 Rxg3! (instead of Qxg3). |
|
| Jul-01-19 | | TheaN: The final two move combo is of unbelievable beauty. White'd considered that Black can't keep control over both h1 and f1 with the bishop and should be able to use his rooks to stop the attack. Bc4 ends it right there and then with a mate #9 only prolonged by throwing pieces. <Fisheremon> 12 years later Stockfish seems to agree. I don't think -1.7 merits a 'clear' win after 32.Rxg2 Qxe1+ 33.Rg1 Qxg1+ 34.Kxg1 e2+ 35.Kg2 e1Q 36.Qh2! ∓. White escapes by a thread with just a (doubled) pawn and center passer down. It's still strong for Black, but not winning. 29....Rxg3! is in fact playable, but this is even more crazy than the combo itself. |

 | | master8ch: Black could've forced the equivalent of 32.Rxg2 by playing 32...Qf2+, forcing 33.Rxf2 ef2+ 34.Kxg2 fxe1(Q). But, while that may have been prettier, playing it his way was far more conclusive. |

 | | Annie K.: Trivia: according to FIDE's roster, Normunds Miezis is the one, and only, Grandmaster named anywhere near 'Norm'. If you want your son to reach the highest level in chess (but why...?), you probably shouldn't call him Norman! ;) |
|
| Jul-01-19 | | Retireborn: Normans, but bastard Normans, Norman bastards! As Shakespeare used to say, when he'd had a few. |

 | | OhioChessFan: I'm ashamed to admit this was my 3rd time here today in a previously unsuccessful effort to figure out what in the world the pun meant. Read the 3 names of White, managed to only look at Black's last name, was hoping someone would comment and I could just read it, hey, might as well admit the equivalent of missing a Monday puzzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKQ... |

| Jul-02-19 | | cormier: 17... Kg7 better is 17...Rg8 18.Nf2 exf5 19.Nd1 Bc5 20.Qxh5 Rg5 21.Qh6+ Kg8 = / + -0.72 (32 ply) |
|
| Feb-20-20 | | leroquentin: So, im here because Normunds was playing in the PCL, in chess.com. This is a great by Normunds. |
