| Jul-11-13 | | Doniez: I saw the first forcing move, 37.Rxg7+' (rook sac) and the consequent move 37...Kxg7. Amos white can start use his dark square Bishop, 38.Bf6+. But I was unable to arrive to the final position. |
|
Jul-11-13
 | | al wazir: I got it, but I would have played 40. Bxe5+. It's more forcing. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | agb2002: White has the bishop pair for a bishop, a knight and a pawn. Black threatens 37... N(Q)xd7, 37... Rxh4 and 37... Nd3. The black castle is very weak. This suggests 37.Rxg7+ Kxg7 (37... Kh8 38.Qh6#) 38.Bf6+, starting an attack with queen, rook and bishop: A) 38... Kf7 39.Bxe5+
A.1) 39... Ke6(7) 40.Qd6#.
A.2) 39... Kg6 40.Rf6+ Kg(h)7 41.Qh6+ Kg8 42.Qg6+ Kh8 43.Rf8#. A.3) 39... Kg8 40.Qg5+ Kh7 41.Qg7#.
B) 38... Kf8 39.Bxe5+ is similar to A.
C) 38... Kg6(8) 39.Qg5+ Kf7 40.Bxe5+ Ke6 41.Qf6+ and mate next. D) 38... Kh7 39.Qg5
D.1) 39... Qd7 40.Qxh5+ Kg8 41.Qh8+ Kf7 42.Bxe5+ Ke6 (42... Ke7 43.Qf6#) 43.Qf6+ Kd5 44.Rd2+ wins. D.2) 39... Ng6 40.Qxh5+ Kg8 41.Qxg6+ Kf8 42.Qg7#.
D.3) 39... Nf3+ 40.Rxf3 R4e7 (40... Rg4 41.Qxh5+ Kg8 42.hxg4 Bxf3 43.Qg6+ Kf8 44.Qg7#) 41.Qxh5+ Kg8 42.Qg6+ Kf8 43.Bxe7+ Kxe7 44.Rf7+ Kd8 45.Qd6+ Qd7 46.Qxd7#. D.4) 39... Rg8 40.Qxh5#.
---------
Another option is 38.Qg5+, instead of 38.Bf6+:
A) 38... Ng6 39.Rf6
A.1) 39... R4(8)e6 40.Qxg6+ Kh8 41.Qxh5+ Kg8 42.Qg5+ (42.Rf7 Rh6) 42... Kh8 (42... Kh7 43.Rf7+ Kh8 44.Qg7#) 43.Rf7 and mate soon. A.2) 39... Rf8 40.Qxg6+ Kh8 41.Qh6+ Kg8 42.Qg5+ and 43.Rh6#. A.3) 39... R4e7 40.Rxg6+ Kh8 (40... Kf8 41.Qh6+ Rg7 42.Qxg7#) 41.Qh6+ Rh7 42.Bf6#. A.4) 39... R8e7 40.Rxg6+ Kf7 (40... Kf8 41.Rg8+ Kf7 42.Qg6#; 40... Kh8 41.Rh6+ Rh7 42.Qf6#) 41.Rg7+ wins. A.5) 39... Rg4 40.Rxg6+ and mate next.
A.6) 39... Qd7 40.Qxg6+ Kh8 41.Rf7 Qxf7 42.Qxf7 Rxh4 43.Qxe8+, etc. B) 38... Kh8 39.Qxh5+ Kg8 (39... Kg7 40.Bf6+ transposes to previous lines) 40.Qg5+ Kh8 41.Rf6 Re7 42.Rh6+ Rh7 43.Qf6+ Kg8 44.Qg5+ Kh8 repeats moves. ---------
I think I'd play 38.Bf6+. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | morfishine: I was unable to see the win all the way through. I spent considerable time on 38.Qg5+ before seeing that 38...Ng6 will hold. And when I moved onto 38.Be5+, I was unable to force the win after 39...Ke6 |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | stacase: 37 Rxg7+ is a crusher. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | cyclon: Today I start with 37. Rxg7+ which is pretty 'obvious'. ( 37. Rxg7+ ) 37. -Kxg7 38. Bf6+ - this is the winning move ( 38. Qg5+? blocks the B on h4 for the FLEETING moment, preventing immediate mating attack - the text retains the activity of both, Bishop and the Queen. ) - 38. -Kh7 ( 38. -Kf7 39. Bxe5+ / 38. -Kf8 39. Qh6+ / 38. -Kg8 39. Qg5+/ -Kg6 39. Rf6+ all leads to mate in varying move amount ); and here two main-lines as an example: 1. ( 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Bf6+ Kh7 ) 39. Qg5 Qd7 ( 39. -Rg8? 40.Qxh5X ) 40. Qxh5+ Kg8 41. Qh8+ Kf7 42. Bxe5+ Ke6 43. Qf6+ Kd5 44. Rd2+ and it's a curfew. 2. ( 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Bf6+ Kh7 ) 39. Qg5 Nf3+ ( a nice try, but..., ) 40. Rxf3 R4e7 41.Qxh5+ Kg8 42. Qg6+ ( only so - 42. Qh8+?, or 42. Rg3+? ) 42. -Kf8 43. Bxe7++ ( double-check IS the point here ) 43. -Kxe7 44. Rf7+ Kd8 45. Qd6+ and mates next. So, after 37. Rxg7+ and 38. Bf6+ it seems to be cufflinks for White. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | agb2002: The natural 39.Bxe5+ seems to be quicker than the text 39.Qg5. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | wingpawn: I admit I can't really calculate this to the end from the given position; all I have is some general thoughts. Black has just attacked White Rook on d7 with a Knight. White doesn't want to retreat his most active piece and the enemy King is almost asking for a punch like: 37. ♖xg7+ ♔xg7 otherwise, it's 38. ♕h6 checkmate. 38. ♕g5+ now Black is forced to play 38...♘g6 because if he goes 38...♔h7 39. ♕xh5+ ♔g8 40. ♗f6 the King will be soon dragged to f-file after which White takes Black Knight on e5 with check and has two pawns for exchange plus raging attack. After 38...♘g6 39. ♖f6 Black cannot really protect his Knight from being captured, so White again gets back his material and retains attacking chances as his remaining ♕, ♖, ♗ still occupy great positions. To me, all that is quite enough to justify the first move. <After checking> Hm, looks like 38. ♗f6+ was at least equally good to my suggestion. I didn't have enough nerves to check all those non-forcing Queen moves. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | cocker: According to Fritz, White should have played 39 Bxe5+. In the game Black could have escaped (& won) with 39 ... Ke6. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | Abdel Irada: The key move almost plays itself because White really *has* no other way to attack. After that, however, some finesse is required, as demonstrated by the various ways Black can escape if White adopts the wrong move order. ∞ |

| Jul-11-13 | | gofer: <37 Rxg7+ Kxg7>
<38 Bf6+ ...>
38 ... Kf7/Kf8 39 Bxe5+ mating

click for larger viewI see no hope for black from here.
The king hunt is afoot! One possible variation is...
<39 ... Qd7>
<40 Qxh5+ Kg8>
<41 Qh8+ Kf7>
<42 Be5+ Ke5>
<43 Qf6+ Kd5>
<44 Rd2+ Kc5>
<45 Rxd7 ...>
with mate to follow soon...
~~~
Hmmm, I agree with everyone else. 39 Bxe5+ was the best
response to 38 ... Kf7. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | Tartalacreme: There is obviously a mistake in the game score. Black played 38. ... Kh7 and not Kf7. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | kevin86: The rook sac opens the position like a surgeon (remember the song by Weird Al?) |
|
Jul-11-13
 | | Jimfromprovidence: The text 39 Qg5?? throws away the win as it allows for 39...Ke6.

|
| Jul-11-13 | | nescio: <Jimfromprovidence: The text 39 Qg5?? throws away the win as it allows for 39...Ke6.> Not if <Tartalacreme> is right and black played 38...Kh7 instead of Kf7. |
|
Jul-11-13
 | | pittpanther: I thought 38 Qg5+ also won. Those with a computer engine, can you confirm if that is still winning or not? Many lines transpose by later playing Bf6 but the Q is already up near the king. |

|
| Jul-11-13 | | morfishine: <Jimfromprovidence> On your comment: <The text 39 Qg5?? throws away the win as it allows for 39...Ke6> Thats where I was stuck and unable to see this through |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | BOSTER: This is the line with 38. Bf6+ <Kf7> 39.Bxe5+
if Ke6(Ke7) 40.Qd6#
if Kg8 40.Qg5 and Qg7#
if Kg6 40.Rf6+ Kh7 41.Qh6+ Kg8 42.Rf8+ Rxf8 43.Qg7#
B.T.W., after 38.Qg5+ Ng6 39.Rf6 I guess white win too |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | James D Flynn: Black is a pawn up and White’ white square B is hemmed in and his black square B is under attack by the Black R, however his Rs are very active.
37.Rxg7+ Kxg7 38.Qg5+ Ng6(if Kh7 39.Rf6 and Black cannot stop Rh6# only delay it for a move by Ng6 else if Kh8 39.Qh6+ Kg8 40.Bf6 Qd7 41.Qh8+ Kf7 42.Bxe5+ Ke6 43.Qf6+ Kd5 44.Rd2+ Kc5 45.Rxd7 with overwhelming material advantage)39.Qf6+ Kh7 40.Qf7+ Kh6 41.Rf5(threats 42.Bg5# and 42.Rxh5+ followed by Qh7#, there is no answer to both threats) Nxh4(ifR8e7 42.Bg5#) 42.Rxh5#. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | morfishine: <BOSTER> You are correct that 39.Bxe5 is better than 39.Qg5 |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | patcheck: I don’t know if this problem is “medium” but if it is, it means I didn’t meet the answer. I dint’ finish my analysis but here are the lines I checked :
37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 (37. … Kh8 38. Qh6#) 38. Qg5+ with three posibilities : A) 38. … Kh8 B) 38. … Kh7 C) 38. … Ng6 A) 38. … Kh8 ? 39. Qh6+ Kg8 40. Bf6 and black is lost : A1) 40. … Kf8 41. Qg7#
A2) 40. … Re7 41. Qh8+ Kf7 42. Qg7+ (for instance) Ke6 (42. … Ke8 43. Qxe7#) 43. Qxg7+ Kd5 44. Bxe5 (not 44. Rd2 Nd3) and black is lost : A2a) 44. … Rxe5 45. Rd2+ Kc6 46. Qd6#
A2b) 44. … Qc6 45. Rd2 Rd4 46. Rxd4 #
A2c) 44. … Qc5! (pinning the rook and attacking the queen) 45. Qxb7+ (45. Qxc5+ !? Kxc5 46. Bd4+ Rxd4?! 47. cxd4 Kxd4 and the two black passed pawns make the situation complex) 45. … Kxe5 46. Qb8+! with only two options for black : 46. … Ke6 or 46. … Kd5 (46. … Qd6? 47. Rf5+ and the black queen is lost) A2c1) 46. … Ke6 47. Qe8+
A2c1a) 47. … Qe7 47. Qc6+ Ke5 48. Qxe4+ Kxe4 49. Re2+ and wins the queen A2c1b) 47. … K d5 48. Qd7+ and black is lost (48. … Qd6 49. Rd2+ winning the queen / 48. … Ke5 49. Rf5#) A2c2) 46. … Kd5 47. Qd8+ and black is lost (47. … Ke6 48. Qe8+ leads to the variation we just analysed. / 47. … Kc6 48. Qa8+ and wins the rook / 47. … Qd6 48. Rd2+ wins the queen / 47. … Ke5 48. Qg5+ wins the queen). So the following line wins : 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Qg5+Kh8? 39. Qh6+ Kg8 40. Bf6 Re7 41. Qh8+ Kf7 42. Qg7+ Ke6 43. Qxe7+ Kd5 44. Bxe5 Qc5 ! 45. Qxb7 Kxe5 46. Qb8+ But it’s not an easy line and probably there’s an easier way after 39. … Re7, maybe the simple : 40. Bxe7. A3) 40. … Kf7 41. Bxe5+ Rf4 (41. … Ke7 42. Qd6# / 41. … Kg8 42. Qg7# / 41. … Qf5 42. Rxf5+ Ke7 43. Qd6#) 42. Rxf4+ Ke7 (or Kg7) 43. Qd6# (or Qg7#) A4) 40. … Qd7 (not 40. … Qc7 and for instance : 41. Qh8+ Kf7 42. Qg7+ and wins the queen with a winning position). 41. Qh8+ Kf7 42. Bxd5+ and white wins : A4a) 42. … Kg6 43. Rf6+ Kg5 44. Qh6+ Kh4 45. Rf4+ and black will be mate : A4a1) 45. … Rxf4 46. Qxf4 Ng4 (or Qg4) 47. Bf6#
A4a2) 45. … Kg3 46. Rg4#
A4a3) 45. … Ng4 (or Qg4) 46. Qf6 Kg3 47. Rxg4#+
A4b) 42. … Ke6 43. Qf6+ Kd5 44. Rd2 Kc5 (not 44. … Rd4 45. Rxd4+ Kc5 46. Rxd7) 45. Rxd7 and black can’t stop the threat Qd6# A5) 40. … Rg4 41. hxg4 Qxg4 42. Qh8+ Kf7 43. Bxe5+ Bf3 [43. … Ke6 44. Qf6+ Kd5 (44. … Kd7 45. Qd6+ Kc8 46. Qc7#) 45. Qd6+ Ke4 46. Qd4# ] 44. Qf6+ Kd5 (or Kd7) 45. Rxf3 and black is totally lost So the line A) : 37. Rxg7+ Kxg7 38. Qg5+Kh8? (followd by 39. Qh6+ Kg8 40. Bf6) seems to win in all the lines. B) 38. … Kh7 39. Qxh5 (39. Rf6 in not that easy ffor white, for instance : 39. … Re6 40. Qf5+ K g8 41. Rxf5 Nf3+! 42. fxg3 Rxe6) And black has two posibilities : B1) 39. … Kg7 B2) 39. … Kg8
B1) 39. … Kg7 40. Bf6+
B1a) 40. … Kf8 41. Bxe5+ Ke7 (41. … Rf4 or Qf5 loose quickly) 42. Qf7+ Kd8 43. Rd2+ and black is lost B2) 39. … Kg8 40. Bf6 and … I stop my analysis here and will look for the answer |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | zooter: I saw 39.Bxe5 and yes I think 38...Kh7 is a better attempt by black to escape |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | BOSTER: <morfishine> Thanks. <pittpanther> <I thought 38.Qg5+ also win.> These are couples lines without engine.
38.Qg5+ if Kh7 39.Qxh5+ Kg8 40.Bf6
if Kf8 41.Bxe5+ Ke7 42.Qf7+ Kd8 43. Rd2 with mate.
if 38.Qg5+ Kh7 39.Qxh5+ Kg8 40.Bf6 Nc3+ 41.gxf3 rook moves and Qg6 with mate. 38.Qg5+ Ng6 39.Rf6 R4e6 40.Qxg6+ Kh8 41.Qxh5+ Kg8 42.Qg5+ Kh8 43.Rf7 with mate. |
|
| Jul-11-13 | | Alex56171: I would have played 39.Bxe5, but I did not figure out the full analysis. It is #5 (by Fritz).
<zooter>, you are right, 38...Kh7 is the best answer for black, but still is #12 (by Fritz). |
