| cyruslaihy: doesn't e8 gives white the same material advantage? |

| greensfield: Many ways to skin this cat. I got 32.Qxb7 |

| Peligroso Patzer: The version of Fritz that I use (7) rates the position after 31. ... Qxc8 as nearly +8.00 in White's favor, and there are many moves that preserve a huge advantage. Fritz7's first choice was 32. Qc6, with my personal; choice (32. Rd8+) taking second place. |

| greensfield: <cyruslaihy><ReikiMaster><An Englishman>
Out of the several viable continuations suggested on this post ie
32.Qxb7
32.Qc6
32.Rd8+
32.e8=Q+
I found 32.e8=Q+ the most difficult to get to grips with to force a quick win. |

| ganesh957: Although the position is easy to play since it's obviously winning, it's quite difficult to find out THE best move. According to F9, I didn't choose the best one with Qxb7, even if this is still winning. Since the most efficient solution is not obvious I wouldn't call this puzzle a monday one. |

| gawain: I saw Rd8+ right away and was so satisfied that I did not look further. |

| Castle In The Sky: Got it. It's a Monday-Tuesday puzzle, as with most Monday puzzles, everyone complains that it's too easy. That's not happening today. |

| cizio2: 32.Qxb7 it's too easy. |

| YouRang: Very easy. It's almost always wonderful to have a pawn on the 7th rank, a rook on an adjacent file, and the opponent's king on the 8th rank. |

| kevin86: It's not just a material gain,mate is in the offing for white. 33... xd8 34 exd8= +  g7(or f7) 35 f8#or 33... g7 34 e8= threatens the rook and f8#-black is gone. |

| TopaLove: I think people who found 32.Rd8+ shouldnīt claim they solved the puzzle. 23.Qxb7 is a lot better. But I know itīs hard to assume you didnīt solve a monday puzzle. Thatīs a matter of ego... |

| zb2cr: Found 32. Qxb7 and the followup in a few seconds. |

| JYMMI: I've gotten this one, very easy puzzle. |

| playground player: Got the Queen sac right away (and the ensuing moves, too)--but then I had almost exactly the same position in an on-line game last night. I solved it when it counted, so solving the puzzle was easy. |

| Stonewaller2: I'm partial to 32. d8+ but it's a matter of taste. I'd rather play the vs. endgame than the +  vs. , once I make luft for my of course. Black's  isn't going much of anywhere after 32. ... xd8 33. exd8=+ xd8 34. g3 other than to get exchanged off; if he tries to defend it with 34. ... d7 or b8 then 35. c6 seals the deal. |

| ccolby: If
32. Rd8+ Nxd8
then
33. e8+ Kg7
34. Bf8+ Kg8 or Kh8

| Holmstrom: Easy problem. Oh yes. |

| ennar: I know Mondays are easy... but there are so many solutions. |

| vinohradska: 30.. Qe8 was a terrible move for black, no? Why not 30.. Rxc2? |
|

| schnarre: Even I saw this one! |

| GannonKnight: I got it, but as you say, it's a tough position for White to lose. How about 32. Rd8+ Qxd8 33. exd8Q+ Rxd8 34. Qxb7?? Rd1# Oops ... overlooks the back rank mate. Well, maybe in blitz. |

U didn't want 34. Qf8# ? (just for fun) |

| Stonewaller2: Last nite Ruffian found 34. ... d5 in my line given below but succumbed after 35. d6 xd6 36. xd6 c3, after which Black's -side  s fell. |
