Oct-28-07		Ron: Very good attacking game by Cheparinov. Open lines for Black against the castled king by move 15.

Apr-29-21		stacase: Got the 1st move and that was it.

Apr-29-21		An Englishman: Good Evening: This became so much easier after reading the instructions "Black to Move." White deserves credit for finding a clever attempt to swindle a win.

Apr-29-21		mel gibson: Following the line in the game. White makes a serious blunder by not taking the Rook on move 21. That allows the black Rook to run wild. White instead checks the black King with 22.Ne7+ but that leads to a mate in 18 according to Stockfish 13. 21. Bc2 Rxa2 22. Ne7+ Kh8 (22. ..

Apr-29-21		Brenin: 21 ... Rxa2 was not hard to see, though checking all of White's responses was harder. <opus>'s 22 Qe4 fails as in the game line (but without White's Ne7+) to 22 ... Rxb2+ 23 Kc1 Rxc2+ 24 Qxc2 Qg5+ and 25 Qxd5.

Apr-29-21		agb2002: Black is one pawn up. The white king defends the bishop and the a-pawn. This suggests 21... Rxa2: A) 22.Kxa2 Qxc2, with the double threat Qxb2# and Ra8#, wins (23.Rxd4 Ra8+ 24.Ra4 Rxa4+ 25.Qxa4 Qxa4+). B) 22.Rxd4 Rfa8 wins (23.Kc1 Ra1+ 24.Bb1 Qxh1+ 25.Rd1 Rxb1+). C) 22.Bxh7+ Kh8 23.Rd2 (23.Kxa2 Qxb2#) 23... Rxb2+ 24.Kc1 Rxd2 is a massacre. D) 22.Ne7+ Kh8 23.Qe4 Rxb2+ 24.Kc1 Rxc2+ 25.Qxc2 Qg5+ and 26... Qxe7 wins decisive material. E) 22.Qe4(f5) Rxb2+ 23.Kc1 Rxc2+ 24.Qxc2 Qg5+ and 25... Qxd5, as in D. F) 22.Nc3 Bxc3 23.Qe4(f5) (23.bxc3 Qxc2#) 23... Rxb2+ 24.Kc1 Qg6 wins decisive material.

Apr-29-21		Walter Glattke: Correction: E) 25 - 27 .-xb2 means xc2 in my lkne above

Apr-29-21		Brenin: <mel gibson: White makes a serious blunder by not taking the Rook on move 21.>: I assume you mean move 22, when Kxa2 was possible, but this is just as bad for White after 22 ... Qxc2, e.g. 23 Rxd4 Ra8+ 24 Ra4 Rxa4+ 25 Qxa4 Qxa4+ and Black has Q+N vs R+N.

Apr-29-21		mel gibson: <Apr-29-21 Brenin: <mel gibson: White makes a serious blunder by not taking the Rook on move 21.>: I assume you mean move 22> yes - now corrected - Following the line in the game.

Apr-29-21		Cellist: For the second day in a row, I chose the wrong sacrifice! I wanted to play 21. ... Bxb2 and only then Rxa2+ (if 22. Kxb2). This is indeed mate-in-4 (19 ply) 22...Rxa2+ 23.Kxa2 Qxc2+ 24.Ka1 Ra8+ 25.Qa4 Rxa4#. Sadly, White can answer 22. Qe4 and turn the tables (or at least get a significant advantage)!!

Apr-29-21		King.Arthur.Brazil: Quickly I saw 21...♖xa2 After the 22. ♔xa2 ♕xc2 23. ♖xd4 ♖a8+ 24. ♖a4 ♖xa4+ 25. ♕xa4 ♕xa4+ 26. ♔b1 ♕d4 and White lose. Could White escape? So the King tried 22. ♖xd4 ♘xd4 23. ♕xd4. Then, Black cannot play 23...♕xh1+? because of 23. ♔xa2 ♖a8+ 24. ♖a4 and Black attack is over. Therefore, Black answer must be: 23...♘xd4 which is a very good one, since 24.♔xa2? ♖a8+ with same mate net. So, White answer is 25.♕xd4. Black may not play 25...♕xh1+ 26.♔xa2 ♖a8+ 27.♔b3 ♕xf3+ 28. ♘c3 and White survive. The Black move is 25...♖8a8 with a powerful threat of check-mate next.

Apr-29-21		njchess: 21. ... ♖xa2 -+ is fairly straightforward, and leaves White without any good options. The rook sac hauled in two pawns, a bishop and a knight. By move 27, White's pieces are confined to the first three rows of the board and his king is horribly exposed. I'm surprised he didn't just resign then.

Apr-29-21		utssb: 14.Nxd5 seems like a big improvement over 14.Qxd5.

Apr-29-21		perfidious: <utssb: 14.Nxd5 seems like a big improvement over 14.Qxd5.> Perhaps, but Black gets compensation after 14....0-0 if his opponent snatches the material on offer. A game in which an attacker par excellence declined this chance follows: Hebden vs Nunn, 1982.

Apr-29-21		RandomVisitor: After 21.Bc2, a long computer run click for larger view Stockfish_21042813_x64_modern: <54/82 1:39:12 -12.33 21...Rxa2 22.Kxa2 Qxc2 23.Rxd4> Nxd4 24.Nc7 Rd8 25.Re1 Qb3+ 26.Kb1 Ne2 27.Rxe2 Qd1+ 28.Ka2 Qxe2 29.Qb4 Qxf3 30.Nb5 Qd5+ 31.Kb1 Qd3+

Apr-29-21		Brenin: <utssb>,<perfidious>: Another good example is Short vs Miles, 1984, a game which has twice provided a tough POTD (try to find White's best 22nd move).

Apr-29-21		perfidious: Would not have come up with the idea missed by Short in the game cited by <Brenin> if allotted a day for forty moves. Used to play the Black side of this, ca 1985 through the 1990s, but never actually reached the position where White can accept the offer.
