Jul-10-12  Poulsen: In any case: black's Ng4 was simply a desperado move since he was about to lose the knight - and the game.
Jul-10-12  zb2cr: Quick win of a Rook by 24. Qxg7+, Kxg7; 25. Bxc7. This is simple.
Jul-10-12  Patriot: Black threatens 24...Nxh6 or 24...Qxf4.

Therefore, 24.Qxg7+ looks correct. 24...Kxg7 25.Bxc7, winning a rook .

Jul-10-12  Patriot: I like the zwischenzug many of you mentioned: 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7. That's good chess!
Jul-10-12  whiteshark: <24.Qxg7+ Kxg7 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7> and that's it.
Jul-10-12  poszvald: Really easy!

Qxg7+ Kxq7
Nxe6+ fxe6
Bxc7

Jul-10-12  Deji: Rook down!

  benveniste: Free Rook! Play Free Rook!
Jul-10-12  kevin86: White gives up his queen for a rook and the takes the adverse queen for free!

Desperado!

Jul-10-12  hedgeh0g: An obvious exploitation of a clear blunder. I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding.
Jul-10-12  PinnedPiece: Possibly the C division in the Olympiad?
Jul-10-12  BlackSheep: Qxg7+,Nxe6+,Bxc7 1-0 , seemed a bit simplistic for a Wednesday I thought , then it came to me .

  chrisowen: So coax queen meal is herd it to in for browserd in?
Jul-10-12  hrobert5: <24.Qxg7+ Kxg7 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7>

Its all good after that!

Jul-10-12  dragon player: This is winning:

24.Qxg7+ Kxg7
25.Bxc7

but is it the solution. It seems too simple to me. But I wouldn't know what else to do.

Time to check.

------------

Right, I guess.

2/2

Jul-10-12  BarcelonaFirenze: I don't think this is a real puzzle... Too obvious...
Jul-10-12  EXIDE: Is todays position considered a puzzle? No theme to say it is, just winning a piece.
Jul-10-12  Calar: <hedgeh0g: I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding.>

In that case - check this game, starting with White's 23rd move.

I Krush vs A Zatonskih, 2012

Jul-10-12  bischopper: first to take piece 24.Qg7+... and then the queen...It is easy in this time.
Jul-10-12  twinlark: <hedgeh0g: I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding.>

Are you talking about <23...Ng4>?

By that time it was far too late. Black's gross blunder was as far back as <16...g6>, and White's attack virtually plays itself.

Jul-10-12  BadKnight: play couple of forcing moves then capture the queen on c7. so Qxg7, Nxe6, Bxc7 etc.
Jul-10-12  weisyschwarz: Even I got it, the least of patzers, and I agree with the further simplification of Nxe6+. Thanks, <CG.COM>!
Jul-10-12  TheBish: V Hamitevici vs S Burns-Mannion, 2010

White to play (24.?) "Easy", Black is up a pawn.

Both queens are attacked, so it seems the last move must have been 23...N(e5)g4, offering a trade of queens. Not a bad idea, but here it loses a rook!

24. Qxg7+! Kxg7 25. Bxc7 and now Black can resign. A simple desperado, but it looks like Black was lost anyway.

Jul-10-12  M.Hassan: <hedgeh0g: I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding.>

I do not endorse his move but:
What other move you would have done?

Jul-11-12  Abdel Irada: <Random musings>

I continue to wonder: Can these puzzles be set up in some manner such that one can publish one's answer to them without seeing other players' answers?

Until this happens, there will always be a nagging uncertainty as to whether solvers have used their own analysis or regurgitated someone else's.

(After this, the next impossible task: to find some way to rule out computer assistance. Although I'd *like* to believe that most players see that there is no benefit to them in "solving" a puzzle by consulting an engine, I suspect that ego leads some to do so anyway so as to seem to have found the answer.)
