Feb-24-14 | | mathlover: Ng5+ followed by Rh3# .... |
|
Feb-24-14 | | Coriolis: I'm not complaining. In weeks previous I was not seeing the Easy/Very Easy puzzles very easily. I had to wait until about a Thursday before the answer (first move at least) was immediately obvious. Maybe CG are compensating, nursing the confidence of those they bruised back to good health. |

Feb-24-14 | | Francio: <agb2002: It is not Grounghod Day> Of course no, that was 22 days ago :) |

 | | Penguincw: Hopefully, <cg> sees this "error" and will replace it with a new puzzle. In the meantime, since it was only a week ago, this Monday puzzle was probably the easiest ever. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | whiteshark: It's Monday (morning). What are you expecting? Skål! |
|
Feb-24-14 | | mel gibson: The worst move was 11...BxN.
Black swaps a fianchetto style Bishop for a Knight.
This opened up a diagonal for control
by white which directly attacked the King
& for which there was no defense.
A golden rule of chess:
Never swap off a fianchetto Bishop lightly.
The computer says 11...Nc8 depth 17
score for black = -0.47 |

Feb-24-14 | | CC0112358: This belongs somewhere between Sunday and Monday. What day of the week would that be? |
|
Feb-24-14 | | CC0112358: Buhmann must have had the flu. He got played like a violin. Not impressive for a 2500. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | BOSTER: If < CG> repeat this move, this is a draw. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | kevin86: After Ng5+,black will be mated or lose his queen.
Didn't we have a VERY similar game recently?
just think: Monday=queen sac
manic monday=winning the queen.
just another manic monday- lol |
|
Feb-24-14 | | PJs Studio: A lot of amateurs say things about blacks 11th...Bxc3? "Oh no! I can't do that. I'll be weak on the dark squares around my king." Turns out, they are more careful in offhand games than GM Buhmann is in the Bundesliga |
|
Feb-24-14 | | Robin Gitte: Thumbs up for CG. Last week, I (actually) failed. This week I got it straight away. 1/1 - I'm on a roll. :) Can we have the regular Tuesday puzzle tomorrow - for the same reason? :) |
|
Feb-24-14 | | Marmot PFL: Want to lose quick? Put all your pawns on light sq and trade the DSB for a knight. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | MountainMatt: In the Matrix, when this kind of repetition occurred, it meant agents were closing in. I'm afraid, I'm very afraid... |
|
Feb-24-14 | | PJs Studio: Black could've tried 18...Nd4. Sure he loses the knight, but he's got another one he's not even using. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | RookFile: <Marmont PFL: Want to lose quick? Put all your pawns on light sq and trade the DSB for a knight.> LOL.... indeed, sir. |
|
Feb-24-14
 | | chessgames.com: We'd like to apologize for the accidental reuse of last week's puzzle. Things will be back to normal tomorrow. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | BOSTER: <Marmot PFL Want to lose>. click for larger view Not always. |
|
Feb-24-14 | | Nullifidian: 19. ♘g5+ ♙hxg5 20. ♖h3# or 19... ♕xg5 20. ♙fxg5 wins the queen. |
|
Feb-25-14 | | kevin86: If cg.com repeats a puzzle three times-is it a draw? |
|
Feb-25-14
 | | offramp: A great variety of comments:
<Feb-24-14 perfessor: Deja vu all over again.> <Feb-24-14 piltdown man: Deja vu, all over again.> <Feb-24-14 patzer2: "It's déjà vu all over again".> <Feb-24-14 BOSTER: If < CG> repeat this move, this is a draw> <kevin86: If cg.com repeats a puzzle three times-is it a draw?> Wonderfully witty comments. |

 | | offramp: I think I've heard that song before. |
|
Feb-25-14 | | john barleycorn: <offramp> that is deja vu :-) |
