| Jan-26-16 | | jith1207: Same theme as yesterday, for queen sac and the decision on which pawn to capture, and just few more lines to calculate. Actually looked a lot more trickier than it turned out. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | saturn2: 34 Qb6 with the double threat QxRa7 and Bd7(trapping the black queen) was my first idea, but 34...Raf7 seems to prevent. After the Queen sacrifice you have to have the mate pattern Bg6 saved in your mind. Having as many patterns as possible in your brain is in my opinion the sign of a talented chess player, which i am obviously not. |

| Jan-26-16 | | Nullifidian: Looking for the most forcing move gave me 34. ♕f6+ ♖xf6 35. ♙gxf6++ From there:
35... ♔f8 loses to 36. ♗h5#
35... ♔h8 loses to 36. ♖xg8+ ♔xg8 37. ♗g6#/♗h5#
So the only option that prolongs the game is:
35... ♔h6 36. ♖xg8 followed by ♙f7 on the next move, threatening a promotion and forcing the loss of the remaining rook. |

| Jan-26-16 | | WDenayer: Splendid game. I like the variation with 3. Nd2. After 10.Nd3 the N is very well placed, it will support b4 and c5. Eventually, the c-file opens and White has a big advantage. Perhaps Black should have played a rook to c8 instead of 20. ...a5, but White still has the advantage on the Q side and e4 is coming dislodging the N on d5. Black seriously misplaced the opening here. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | agb2002: White has a bishop and a pawn for a knight.
The convergence of the white heavy pieces on g8 suggests 34.Qf6+ Rxf6 35.gxf6+: A) 35... Kf8 36.Bg6(h5)#.
B) 35... Kh6 36.Rxg8 + - [R+B+P vs N].
C) 35... Kh8 36.Rxg8+ Kxg8 37.Bg6(h5)#. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | stst: Q-sac:
34.Qf6+ RxQ (forced)
35.gxf6+ Kf8/h8
36.RxQ+ KxR
37.Bg6 dis+,# |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | stst: < 34. Bf7 double check???> After QxB, White has no forcing moves...
If Qh8+ then Kg6 escapes. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | morfishine: 34.Qf6+ sort of like yesterday with the pawn recapture check ***** |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | The Kings Domain: Nice puzzle. Black didn't stand a chance. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | diagonalley: yep... 34.Q-B6+ wins (position almost looks as if it had been composed... and quite tricky for a tuesday, as others have noted) |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | cocker: Another one where White has to recapture with the right pawn, but today 35 exf6+ also wins. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | CHESSTTCAMPS: White can finish with 34.Qf6+ Rxf6 35.gxf6+ (but not exf6+?? Kh8) Kh8 (35... Kh6 36.Rxg8) 36.Rxg8+ Kxg8 37.Bh5# |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | LoveThatJoker: 34. Qf6+ Rxf6 35. gxf6+ Kh6 (35...Kh8 36. Rxg8+ Kxg8 37. Bh5#) 36. Rxg8 wins with an extra Rook and a crushing position. LTJ |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | whiteshark: <34.Qf6+ Rxf6 35.gxf6+>, and that's it! |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | zb2cr: White ends up plus a Rook after 34. Qf6+, Rxf6; 35. gxf6+, Kh6; 36. Rxg8. If Black responds to White's double check on move 35 with 35. ... Kf8; 36. Bh5#. Similarly, 35. ... Kh8; 36. Rxg8+, Kxg8; 37. Bh5#. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | YetAnotherAmateur: One additional point on the 34. Qf6+ Rxf6 35. gxf6+ Kh6 36. Rxg8 line. White has forced mate at this point, due to 4 possible ways to win: Rc4-h4, Rc3-h3, f7-f8=Q, and g4-5. The only tricky point is that one of black's pieces has to remain on the board to avoid a stalemate, while white's Rg8 and Be8 need to remain in place. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | kevin86: White does not mate, but ends up a rook ahead in interest as the queen is "loaned". |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | AvidChessMan: My attention was immediately drawn to g file, with the skewer potential for white's rook. Then I saw the means of unlocking that potential, the queen sac at f6. After 35.gf6, black's fate is sealed. Nice move and nice puzzle. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | wooden nickel: Beyond my ability, but with the help of Uncle Fritz: 34.g6! h5 35.Rc7+ Rxc7 36.Qxc7+ Kh6 37.Bf7 Qf8 38.g7 Qxg7 39.Rxg7 Kxg7 40.Bxe6+ Kg6 41.Qd6 Rf4 42.Ba2+ Kg5 43.Bb1 Rf7 44.g3 Rf5 45.Qe6 Nd3 46.Bxd3 Kg4 47.Kg2 Kg5 48.Qxf5+ Kh6 49.Qg6#

| Jan-26-16 | | Herma48852: Little tricky but just right for my mentally challenged level.
34. Qf6+ Rxf6 35. gxf6+ Kh8 (.. Kf8 36. Bh5#) 36. Rxg8+ Kxg8 36. Bh5# |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | Pedro Fernandez: I spent less than a couple min., but for sure some of our mates solved it in about 30 sec. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | Pedro Fernandez: <<andrewjsacks>: 34. Bf7 double check???> That's the key! you mean 35.gxf6++ of course! |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | andrewjsacks: <Pedro Fernandez> I was questioning someone else's move below. |
|
| Jan-26-16 | | andrewjsacks: That was not a suggested move of mine. |
|
| Jan-27-16 | | YetAnotherAmateur: <kevin86> You think white doesn't mate from the final position? Try and stop me after 35. ... Kh6 36. Rxg8: - Rb7 and Ra6 do nothing to prevent g4-g5#
- Throwing away the rook with Ra8, Rc7, Re7, Rf7, or Rg7 just delays things a move.
- The N is so far out of position it can't get over to help in time. The longest variation I can think of is: 35. ... Kh6 36. Rxg8 Rd7 37. Bxd7 Nd3 38. Rc4 Nf4 39. Rxf4 Kh5 40. Be8+ Kh6 41. Rh4# |
