May-23-18 | | paavoh: Very tricky, because it was hard for me to see the Queen moving "backwards" from g4 to h3. After finally finding it, the rest was quite easy. A very good puzzle! |

May-23-18 | | ChessHigherCat: I got
31. Qg4+ Kxh6 32. Bf3 Qc1+ 33. Kh2 Qg5 34. Qh3+ Kg6 35. Qxh7# Let's see if it's right. |

 | | Richard Taylor: It is a good puzzle. A case of checking the checks! |
|

 | | Richard Taylor: Yes I think it is one of those you almost expect something dramatic like Rg7+ which is interesting. But the problems are based on real games. Some of these 'easy' ones are hard... |
|
May-23-18 | | ChessHigherCat: leRevenant: <UR IV:> I had something different: 31.Qg4+ Kxh6 32.Bf3

May-23-18 | | Lambda: I went for Be4+ too. Didn't consider Qg4+ simply because I considered Be4+ first, and it worked. |
|
May-23-18 | | takchess: Its a Happy Wednesday. Saw it quickly.Black cant effectively block the check and gobbles up the bishop. After the next check,This sets up the two major pieces fields of force to meet on h6. Qh6 + |
|
May-23-18 | | saturn2: Having sorted out 31 Bg5 and 31 Rg7+ I finally saw 31 Qg4+. 31 Be4+ which leads to sacrificing 2 bishops I never considered. |

May-23-18 | | awfulhangover: I went for 31.Bg7, and it's good! |
|
May-23-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <Mel Gibson> Are you saying the 32. Bf3 variant is wrong here?: 31. Qg4+ Kxh6 32. Bf3 Qc1+ 33. Kh2 Qg5 34. Qh3+ Kg6 35. Qxh7# |

May-23-18 | | ChessHigherCat: <JfP> It looks like there are a lot of subvariants but here's one of them anyway: 31. Bf3 Be7 32. Qg4+ Kxh6 33. Qh5+ Kg7 34. Qg5+ Kf7 35. Bh5+ Kf8 36. Qf4+ Kg8 37. Bf7+ Kf8 38. Bxe6+ Ke8 39. Qf7+ Kd8 40. Rd7# |

May-23-18 | | ChessHigherCat: ChessHigherCat: <JfP> Here are two more solutions to your puzzle:
31. Bf3 Be7 32. Qg4+ Kf7 33. Qg7+ Ke8 34. Bh5+ Kd8 35. Qg8+ Bf8 31. Bf3 Be7 32. Qg4+ Kxh6 33. Qh5+ Kg7 34. Qg5+ Kf8 35. Qh6+ Kg8 36. Qxe6+ Kg7 37. Rxe7+ Qxe7 38. Qxe7+ Kg6 39. Qe6+ Kg7 40. Qxc8 I finally looked at the SF solution of mate-in-12 and I admit 32. Rb6 would never have occurred to me, but I'm not sure it's better than my solutions. |

May-23-18 | | leRevenant: <ChessHigherCat:>
"tritto" lol |
|
May-23-18 | | landshark: <gofer> I liked your line 31.Be4+ and it got complicated but in the end I believed (and still do) that it wins. Here's one I worked out: 31. Be4+ dxe4 32. Qxe4+ Kh5 33. g4+ Kh4 34. Rxh7 Qa1+ 35. Kh2 Rh8 36. g5+ Kh5 37. Qf3+ Kg6 38. Qxf6+ Kxh7 39. Qg7# . Much too complicated for Wednesday. All along I felt I was missing something easier. |
|
May-23-18 | | Pchief: 26...Kxg7 should not have been played. Enemy pawn in front of the king serves as a good shield. |
