| Feb-18-11 | | splatty: Remarkable finishing move, the knight parking itself in the top corner of the board not directly attacking anything being the finishing move, lol. |

 | | JohnBoy: Black has a nice plan at move 33 which white totally misses. I believe that something like 34.g3 would be less cooperative. |
|
| Feb-19-11 | | James Bowman: Has this final tactic been used before? I mean how cool pin and attack the rook twice and the pinned king can't take the second attacker without giving up the defence of the rook. This kid is another that will soon be at or near the top. |

 | | haydn20: After 34. g3 Nh5 maybe White foresaw a tedious and stressful defense, and just didn't have the stomach for it. |

I mean how cool pin and attack the rook twice and the pinned king can't take the second attacker without giving up the defence of the rook. > and the bishop too! after ...Kh1, Qf2 white must also give up the bishop to avoid mate. Beautiful ending! |

 | | dzechiel: Black to move (42...?). White has two rooks and a pawn for the queen. "Easy." If white had time to consolidate his position, he would be favored to win the end game. But before the endgame, the gods have placed the middle game, and this position is far from quiescent. Black uncorks... 42...Nh1
and white is suddenly losing. This wins a rook for black after 43 Kxh1 Qxf2 44 h3 Qxf1+
Now white only has rook and pawn for the queen. I'm sure he resigned earlier. I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen a knight move into the corner to deliver the decisive blow. Does anyone else recall a knight move to a1, a8, h1 or a8 that won the game? |
|

 | | gawain: That was fun! It took me a couple of minutes to see that the knight foray into the corner at h1 really is decisive. There isn't much else to try, anyway. |
|
| Oct-25-11 | | Blunderdome: I remembered this one, which wasn't played too long ago. |

 | | M.Hassan: "Easy" Black to play 42...?
Black has a Queen for two Rooks and a pawn.
Black makes use of the pinned Rook:
42...........Nh1
<if 43.Kxh1 Qxf2 and trying to save Bishop, brings mate:
44.Bb5 Qe1+ 45.Bf1 Qxf1#>
White can defend by opening an escape route for the King: 43.h3 Qxf2+
44.Kxh1 Qxf1+
45.Kh2
And White is down in exchange and will loose. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: I very much like Black's play from moves 22-24, setting the stage for the removal of White's dark square Bishop. |
|
Oct-25-11
 | | sevenseaman: Black has a big bite here. He swallows up both the White R and B
at the small cost of a N. <42...Nh1> is the uncanny trick that perhaps
brings in the unexpected early mate too.
A fairly entertaining denouement that I hardly suspected on opening the home page.
An obdurate White could choose to temporize with a spite check, but its no fun dallying
with a deadly opponent known as LQL in the community circles. Will there be longish discussions today? I doubt but you never know. Its a close reproduction of Piket vs Kasparov, 1989 |
|
Oct-25-11
| | rhickma4: This one is really nice.
I can't remember seeing a theme quite like this before.42...Nh1 43.Kxh1 Qxf2 wins a Rook overall, since the Bishop cannot be saved. |
|
Oct-25-11
 | | goldfarbdj: It took me quite a long time to see anything here. I finally decided on Qd4, with the threat of Nxf1 Kxf1 Qd1 mate. White can play Rxb4 Qxb4 hxg3 to counter this, but is then down material. I never even considered Nh1. (I think that Qd4 at least wins....) |
|
| Oct-25-11 | | Robespierre: Not very often that I get a Tuesday puzzle in less than 30 seconds, but today was one of those days (my equivalent of Albert Pujols' hitting of 3 HRs in one WS game!). |
|
Oct-25-11
| | sevenseaman: <Qd4, with the threat of Nxf1 Kxf1 Qd1 mate. White can play
Rxb4 Qxb4 hxg3 to counter this, but is then down material>. <goldfarbdi>, your line should win, sooner or later. White
would better play <43. Rd7>, giving Black a plausible
chance to err. Black will win if he accepts the distraction
by <43...Qxd7> rather than obstinately persist with
<43...Qe3>. In the latter case, the R comes to d2 and can
then contribute meaningfully. |
