| Jun-22-10 | | MaczynskiPratten: What a gem of a game – part of the very select company of double Rook and Queen sacrifices, so maybe it should be called “The Spanish Immortal” to match with “The Immortal”
Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851 or “The English Immortal”
Maczynski vs W Pratten, 1948. The raking Bishops are reminiscent of “Rubinstein’s Immortal”, Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907, but Rubinstein only sac’d one Rook. |

| Jun-22-10 | | catfriend: <patzer2> I couldn't help but notice you've added this game to your mate in 2 collection. This <is> a wonderful game - but a mate in 2 it ain't. Just being worried about your collection's purity;) |

| Jun-22-10 | | Am643602: 22. Rd5 doesn't do enough... a2+ 23. Ka1 Bxc3+ 24. Qb2 Bxb2+ 25. Kxb2
White is down a Queen for a Rook while black has the passed a7 pawn as a threat. |

| Jun-22-10 | | zooter: missed Monday, but Tuesday seems routine (though more plies than usual) 22...Qb4+ 23.Ka1 (23.Qb2 Qxb2#; 23.cxb4 a2# unusual pattern though) Bxc3+ 24.Rxc3 (24.Qb2 Qxb2#) Qxc3+ 25.Ka1 (25.Qb2 Qxb2#) a2# Seems a bit involved though with a lot of variations, but I'm sure everybody has pretty much nailed it Time to check |

 | | Once: <gofer> <dakgootje> Excellent ideas! CG.com is either a ghost ship of a website or a top secret social sciences project. I'm liking it. A lot. For the first, I'm thinking a George Romero (knight of the living dead?) horror flick starring Bruce "the chin" Campbell. For the second, I'm torn between Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves in a semi-futuristic scifi actioner. Think Vanilla Sky with bishops. |

 | | patzer2: <catfriend> Thanks for the correction. As <Zooter>'s post indicates you are right that 22...Qb4+! is a mate, but not a mate-in-two. If Black plays 23. Ka1, it's a mate-in-four. |

 | | gawain: I just didn't see it. I was trying out 22...Bh6 to deflect the W queen and allow Qb5+ and then Qb2. But that would not have been enough. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | BOSTER: <Jim> <I missed the (now) obvious forced mate...22...Qb5>. I have to say such complication " impressed " me , because, maybe , I trust you too much. |

22. Rd5 a2+ 23. Kb2! Qb4+ 24.

This on-line link can be set to any position with Crafty playing Black and is a truly remarkable free on-line resource. Enjoy! |

| Jun-22-10 | | turbo231: A very nice puzzle, I love it. Too bad i missed it. What about -bh6 checking the white queen. The white queen can take bh6 or not either way she'll be out of the picture. Or the white queen could xa3 but that's a loser also. If the queen doesn't take a3 then the black queen -b5+....... -qb4 is a lot prettier and better maybe. Time to check and see which way is better. I would guess qb4 will be the best. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | turbo231: qb4 is best. |

 | | M.Hassan: "easy" category. Black is behind in material.
Although it is "easy", I spent a lot of time and played different lines until I arrived at a line that think it has been in the actual game.
22.......Qb5+
23.ka1 is the only square that white King can go to
if 23.Qb2 axb2 and white Queen is lost so Ka1 is a safer move
23.Ka1 Qb4 (pawn on c3 is pinned)
24.Qb1 Bxc3+
25.Rxc3 Qxc3+
26.Kb1 a2#
Time to check
Not quite, and much longer than the actual game! |

| May-10-12 | | Blunderdome: Came here to post some analysis I read in a book, but I guess David2009 and Crafty came up with the same thing. I recommend playing through that line. |
