|
| Jul-16-20 | | malt: Settled for 18.Qd8+! K:d8 19.N:e6++ Ke7
(19...Kc8 20.Rd8# )
20.Bg5+ f6 21.Nd8+ Re3
(21...Qe2 22.R:e2+ Re3 23.R:e3# )
22.R:e3+ Qe6 23.R:e6#
Went for 19.Nb5+ ? at first to block the c7 square. 19...Nd3+ |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | griga262: After looking at this, I had a look at Baranov's game history. The last one is listed as "Boris Fedorovich Baranov vs Osmolovski" (see B Baranov vs Osmolovski, 1973). Now, Osmolovski (or Osmolovsky) is not a common Russian name by any means. Could it be a game by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bonch-Osmolovsky, and if so, shouldn't it be attributed to him in the database? |

| Jul-16-20 | | mel gibson: I saw that - it's mate in 5 and all forced. |

 | | chrisowen: Aged it was mitigate qd8? |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | Predrag3141: 10 ... Qb4 started the real slide, but 7 ... Qe7+ looked pretty awful to me as well, so I checked its record in chessgames.com. On 7 ... Qe7, White won 4, Black won 2.
On 7 ... Nc6, White won 34, Black won 10 and the remaining 29 were drawn. |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | drollere: one of the prettiest mates i have seen.
and surprising. i would have played 21. Nc7+ followed by 22. Nxa6 without thinking. "if you find a good move, keep looking and find a better one." |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | TheaN: I think I did see this one before as I pretty much laid my eyes on <18.Qd8+> from the get go. Mind that it is also by far the most forcing line, and once you play <18...Kxd8 19.Nxe6+ Ke7 (Kc8 20.Rd8#) 20.Bg5+> it becomes obvious we just got to seal the net after <20....f6 21.Nd8+> covering f7 <21....Re3 22.Rxe3+ Qe6 23.Rxe6#>. |

| Jul-16-20 | | Scuvy: Instead of a pun, maybe a title: "Storming Royal Fortress." That was the title Chess Digest placed on their English translation of a book by, of all people, Baranov . |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | Nullifidian: 18. ♕d8+ to draw the king out in front of the rook for a double check. 18... ♔xd8 19. ♘xe6++ ♔e7 (if ♔c8, then ♖d8# is a sort of Arabian mate) 20. ♗g5+ ♙f6 (if ♔e8 then ♘c7# because the king has nowhere to go to escape the second double check) 21. ♘d8+ (a discovered check that also covers the f7 square and prevents the enemy king from escaping) ♕e2 22. ♖xe2+ ♖e3 23. ♖xe3# |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | Nullifidian: Forgot to mention that if after 19. ♘xe6++ black plays ♔e8, then 20. ♘xg7+ ♗xg7 (♔e7 21. ♗g5#) 21. ♗g5+ any move 22. ♖d8#, the opera house mate. |

 | | PawnSac: < OhioChessFan: "A Bonch of Checks" > good one OCF! |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: My definitive analysis: 18. Qd8+ Kxd8 19. Nxe6+ Ke8 20. Nxg7+ Ke7 21. Bg5# Around 11:30 pm O'clock i'll see the ''real'' solution. |
|
| Jul-16-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: I see; the difference was I did play 19...Ke8?!, and the ''best move'' was 19.Ke7. But not so bad for me. |
|
| Jan-22-24 | | goodevans: I forget who it was suggested a CG add a 'pun explainer' to the GOTDs. Yesterday's an today's would both have had me clicking on it. |
|
| Jan-22-24 | | Saniyat24: For yesterday's pun explanation, you have to go to Google Translate...! |

 | | FSR: Very cool game with a unique mating combination. The idea of Qd8+!! forcing mate has been known since Reti vs Tartakower, 1910. See also Koltanowski vs A Dunkelblum, 1923 and Dutch vs J N Sugden, 1964. But usually the mating lines are simpler and shorter than they are here, where Black can choose among 19...Ke7, 19...Ke8, and 19...Kc8? (allowing immediate mate). |

| | PawnSac: <go to Google Translate...!> seriously? what about todays? is "bonch yourself" a thing now.. maybe in the urban dictionary? I mean.. If some driver cuts me off and hollers obscenities, can I tell him
"go bonch yourself!" ? Is that in vogue now?
it's so difficult to keep up with the lingo of youngsters these days. |

| | FSR: <Bonch> is slang for perineum. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bonch But <perineum yourself> makes no sense. The context demands a verb. If we suppose that <bonch> is pronounced like <bonk> and substitute that, the verb <bonk> means "hit or strike (someone or something)" or "have sex with." https://www.google.com/search?q=bon... The latter definition would make <Bonk yourself> obscene. |

 | | MissScarlett: I must confess, with due apologies to <philmsu>, that this pun was chosen by mistake. My intention was to promote this game with <A Bonch of Checks> by <OCF>. I lost my place in the list, used Find with <Bonch> and automatically selected the result before realising my error. I imagine <Pinch Yourself> is the idea. |
|
| Jan-22-24 | | goodevans: <I must confess, with due apologies to <philmsu>... > But, quite pointedly, no apology to <OCF>. |
|
| Jan-22-24 | | stone free or die: Well, we all make mistakes, from time to time. |
|

| | OhioChessFan: The peek behind the curtain is more amusing than either pun... |
