Jul-29-13 | | agb2002: White is a bishop down.
Black threatens 24... Rxd1#.
A rook and a pawn block the movements of the black king to the g-file. This suggests 24.Rxh7+ Kxh7 25.Qh5#. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | TheBishopSweden: Mondays don't require much thinking:) I found
24.Rxh7+ Kxh7 25.Qh5# after a few seconds. |
|

 | | FSR: 24.Rxh7+ looks promising. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | Once: Let's do the timewarp again...
The black king and rook take a step to the left (h8 and g8 respectively) The white rook takes a jump to the right (h3)
The black rook puts its hands on its hips (Rxd3)
The white queen brings her knees in tight (25. Qh5#)
I suppose that makes 24. Rxh7+ a pelvic thru-u-ust?
My, but what interesting underwear you have, Brad and Janet. Shall we pop down to the lab and see what's on the slab? |

<24.?>
Taking shelter does have its limits. Completely safeguarding the king in this case for black, makes defending that same kingside much harder. White mates with: <24.Rxh7+ Kxh7 25.Qh5#> and apparantly, even black saw the futileness of this situation and resigned even before move 24 was played. |

Jul-29-13 | | Oxspawn: Love Mondays? Really? The sugar coating on the bitter pill. On Monday the game is easy. But then come Chewsday and WellIneverday followed by Chumpday, Dumbday and Hopelessday. The weak-end. Think I'll resign now. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | morfishine: Soot gets smoked after <24.Rxh7+> due to 24...Kxh7 25.Qh5# <Bartimaeus> Meelis Kanep is a male |
|
Jul-29-13 | | Sethkol: Pretty easy |
|
Jul-29-13 | | stacase: Only took a few seconds, since Black was threatening mate, the solution had to be a defense against the mate or a check of which there are two choices - at which time in my thinking it fell apart. |

 | | Dionysius1: There must be other easy 2 move mates for Mondays that don't involve the castled king and the h file! |
|
Jul-29-13 | | TheaN: <Oxspawn: ...but then come Chewsday and WellIneverday followed by Chumpday, Dumbday and Hopelessday. The weak-end. Think I'll resign now.> HAHA this made me laugh out loud, so true. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | Nick46: Even I got today's with panache, despite being distracted by the funny names. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | zb2cr: White delivers mate in two: 24. Rxh7+, Kxh7; 25. Qh5#. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | Abdel Irada: Black's play was awfully naïve. But of course the nemesis of naïvete is experience. ;-) ∞ |
|
Jul-29-13 | | JoergWalter: Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions. (Mark Twain? I'm not sure) |
|
Jul-29-13 | | YetAnotherAmateur: Rxh7+ Kxh7 Qh5# obviously wins it.
One question though: Was Soot swept in this matchup? |
|
Jul-29-13 | | gars: Me too, <lost in space>, ME TOOOOO!! |
|
Jul-29-13 | | kevin86: Rook checks,queen mates.
Monday:everybody is a genius! |
|

 | | LIFE Master AJ: Soot - according to the FIDE website - has a 2100 FIDE rating ... although this game does not show it. |
|
Jul-29-13 | | YouRang: <FSR: 24.Rxh7+ looks promising.> lol Failing to solve this puzzle should pretty well dash any hopes of ever becoming a GM. |
