May-15-15		diagonalley: white's LSB is (temporarily) immune and his QB is doing SFA ... which strongly suggests 28.P-Q5 to pile on the pressure... though the continuation is not easy to foresee

May-15-15		Coriolis: I thought 28. Bd7 was the move.

May-15-15		Cybe: al wazir: I saw 28. d5, but couldn't find a continuation for white after 28...Be7. I still can't. If 28... Be7 - simply: 29. d6, 29... B:d6, 30. B:f6.

May-15-15		gofer: We just need to bring Bb2 into the picture and we have a three on two party against Nf6, which is where the fun really starts! <28 d5 ...> White threatens Bxf6 and Rxf6+ 28 ... Qxc8 29 Bxf6 Kg8 ( gxf6 30 Qxf6+ Kg8 31 Qg6+ Kf8 32 Qf5+ Kg8/Kg7 33 Rg6+ Kh7 34 Qf7# ) 30 Bxg7 Rh7 31 Qg6 Rxg7 32 Re8+ Bf8 33 Qxg7+ Kxg7 34 Rxc8 Bb7 35 Rc7+ 28 ... Be7 29 d6 Bxd6 30 Bxf6 Qxc8 31 Bxg7++ Kg8 ( Kxg7 32 Rg6+ Kh7 33 Qf7# ) 32 Bxh8 <28 ... Kf7> Brave, but stupid! <29 Rxf6+ gxf6> <30 Be6+ Kg7> <31 Qg4+ Kf8> <32 Qg6 mating> ~~~ Yep, well almost 32 ... Qe7 33 Bxf6 Qh7 puts up more resistance, but its still looking bleak for black...

May-15-15		morfishine: <28.d5> Being a piece down, White must bring all his force to bear; but here I already followed with a less than best move for Black with 28...Be7 (instead of 28...Kf7) when White continues 29.d6 Bxd6 30.Rxf6+ gxf6 31.Bxf6 click for larger view At least the threat of exposed check while attacking Queen & Rook looks cool *****

May-15-15		wooden nickel: I was pleased upon seeing 28.d5 Kf7 (only try) and 29.Rxf6+ until that smart aleck Fritz came up with 29.Bd7! along with 29.Bxf6 or even 29.Rxd6!

May-15-15		morfishine: <wooden nickel> LOL

May-15-15		sfm: Before he last move Black does not realize that BxR is a major threat, as recapturing on h8 with the queen means mate after a few checks. He could have tried 34.-,h5 (35.Qg5,Be7) Maybe 35.Qf3,Rg8 Does that still win for White? If so, was 27.-,Nf6 the decisive mistake? No, as the only alternative 27.-,Kh8 can be answered with 28.Rh8+,QxR 29.Be6+, finally netting a queen for a rook, and so having Q+2P for R+B, and an easy win. So if White still wins after 34.-,h5 it could seem that we have to go quite a bit longer back to find where the balance tipped.

May-15-15		sfm: I see that my suggested 34.-,h5 does not help as 35.Qf3,Rg8, 36.Be5+,Ke7 37.Qf6+ also easily wins for White. Nice bold sac with 19.Nxe6, the kind of moves that spice up the game!

May-15-15		Penguincw: My first move is 28.Bxf6, which happens to not be legal. :\|

May-15-15		fenno: I found 28. d5, but did not see 28. - Kf7 coming, but instead eg. 28. - Be7 29. d6 Bxd6 30. Bxf6 Qxc8 31. Bxg7++ Kxg7 32. Qg6+ Kf8 33. Rf6+ Ke7 34. Qf7+ Kd8 35. Rxd6+ Qd7 36. Qxd7X, or 31. - Kg8 32. Qg6 Qxe6 33. Qxe6+ Kxg7 34. Qxd6, and white has winning advantage. It seems that morfishfine's 30. Rxf6 leads to larger material gains for white, but the best lines are hard to find in one's head.

May-15-15		Sally Simpson: Well I got d5 and then it all went zooming off in all different directions with forcing moves and unforced moves popping up. Too early for me to bust my head over this. play d5 and wing it from there.

May-15-15		kevin86: The rook sac is there, but first an outpost must be set up for the bishop..

May-15-15		Bycotron: White is lucky he has only one move to consider in today's puzzle position! If only all positions could be so kind. Does anybody know why black avoided Nf6 on his 10th and 11th moves? Nothing could have been more obvious and it seems he was punished for avoiding it.

May-15-15		patzer2: Here's my look at the game and puzzle position (28. ?) with the chessgames.com Opening Explorer and Fritz: <10...Qc7> I was surprised to find the Opening Explorer indicates this is most popular move at master level. Another popular alternative that seems to give Black good play is 10... Nf6 = to . An interesting example of play in this line is the game Kamsky vs Karpov, 1993, when Black won after 10...Nf6 11. Qh4 Ke7!? Another example of the potential for 10...Nf6 is Black's win in Adams vs Speelman, 1995. <11. O-O b6 12. Qg4 Kf8 (Not 12... O-O?? 13. Bxh6 ) 13. b3 Bb7 14. Bb2 Nf6 15. Qh3 Nd5 16. g3 Nb4> A good alternative is 16... c5 as in Black's win in Yifan Hou vs Qun Ma, 2014. <17. dxc5 Bxc5 18. Ne5 Kg8 19. Rad1 Rd8) 17. Be4 f5 18. Ng5! Qe7 19. Nxe6+!> This positional sacrifice of a piece for two pawns is where the game gets really interesting. <19...Qxe6 20. Bxf5 Qf7 21. Rae1 Re8 22. Re6 Rxe6 23. Bxe6 Qf6?> This seems to be the losing move, as Black's game rapidly goes down hill after White's reply. Fritz indicates Black can put up more resistance with 23... Qe7, but White holds the advantage after 24. d5 Ke8 25. dxc6 Bxc6 26. Be5 h5 27. Qf5 Bxe5 28. Qxe5 Qf6 29. Qb8+ when play might continue 29...Qd8 30. Qxa7 Qe7 31. Qxb6 Qxe6 32. Qxb4 Qd5 33. Re1+ Kd7 34. Qe7+ Kc8 35. Qe6+ Qxe6 36. Rxe6 Bf3 . <24. Bc8! Ba8> Black can put up more resistance with 24...Qe7, but is still lost after 25. Bxb7! Qxb7 26. Re1! Be7 27. c4! Bd8 28. a3 Na2 29. Qe6 Qe7 30. Qf5+ Qf7 31. Qc8 . <25. Re1 Nd5 26. Re6 Qd8 27. Qf5+ Nf6 28. d5!> This clever move solves our Friday puzzle. If 28...Qxc8, then White wins the Black Queen and the game after 29. Rxf6+! Ke7 30. Rf7+ Kd8 31. Bf6+! gxf6 32. Qxf6+ Ke8 33. Qxh8+ Kxf7 34. Qxc8 . <29. Rxf6+ gxf6 30. Be6+ Kg7 31. Qg4+ Kf8> If 31... Kh7, then 32. Bf5# <32. Qg6 Qe7> If 32... Qe8, then 33. Qxf6+ Qf7 34. Qxf7# <33. Bxf6 Qh7 34. Qg4 cxd5> If 34... h5, then 35. Qf3 Rg8 36. Bh4+ Ke8 37. dxc6 Rf8 38. c7! Qxc7 39. Qxa8+ Qb8 40. Qc6#. <35. Bxh8 1-0> Black resigns in lieu of <35...Qxh8> If 35... Bc5, then White wins with 36. Qf4+! Ke7 (36... Ke8 37. Qb8+ Ke7 38. Qxa7+ Kxe6 39. Qxh7 ) 37. Qf6+ Ke8 38. Bg7 Be7 39. Qf7+ Kd8 40. Qf4 Ke8 41. Qa4+ Kd8 42. Qd7#. If 35... Ke8, then White wins with 36. Bf5! Qxh8 37. Qg6+ Ke7 38. Qe6+ Kf8 39. Qxd6+ Kf7 40. Qd7+ Kf8 41. Qd8+ Kg7 (41... Kf7 42. Qxh8 )42. Qe7+ Kg8 43. Be6#. <36. Qf5+ Kg7> If 36... Ke7, then 37. Qf7+ Kd8 38. Qd7# If 36... Ke8, then 37. Qf7+ Kd8 38. Qd7# <37. Qf7#>

May-15-15		agb2002: White has two pawn for a knight. Black threatens 28... Qxc8 (29.Rxf6+ Ke7 30.Rf7+ Kd8). This line suggests 28.Bd7: A) 28... Qxd7 29.Rxf6+ A.1) 29... gxf6 30.Qxd7 Be7 31.Qc8+ wins. A.2) 29... Ke7 30.Rf7+ and mate next. A.3) 29... Ke8 30.Qg6+ Ke7 (30... Kd8 31.Rxd6 wins) 31.Rf7+ Kd(e)8 32.Rxd7 wins (32... Kxd7 33.Qg7+ and 34.Qxh8). A.4) 29... Kg8 30.Qxd7 gxf6 31.Qxd6 wins. B) 28... Bb4 29.Re8+ B.1) 29... Qxe8 30.Bxe8 + - [Q+2P vss R+N] (30... Kxe8 31.Qc8+ and 32.Qxh8). B.2) 29... Kf7 30.Be6+ Kxe8 31.Rxd8 Rxd8 32.Be6+ Ke7 33.Bc4 + - [Q+2P vs R+N]. C) 28... Be7 29.Bxc6 gets a third pawn for the knight, unclear. D) 28... Qc7 29.Re8+ Kf7 30.Rxh8 wins decisive material (30... Qxd7 31.Qxd7+ Nxd7 32.Rxa8). ----- Another option is 28.d5, attacking the knight: A) 28... Qxc8 29.Bxf6 A.1) 29... gxf6 30.Qxf6+ Kg8 31.Qg6+ Kf8 32.Rf6+ Ke7 33.Qg7+ Kd8 (33... Ke8 34.Qf7+ Kd8 35.Rxd6+ Qd7 36.Qxd7#) 34.Rxd6+ wins. A.2) 29... Kf7 30.Be5+ Kg8 31.Qg6 Bf8 (31... Qf8 32.Re8 wins) 32.Re8 Qb7 33.Bd6 Qf7 34.Rxf8+ Qxf8 35.Bxf8 Kxf8 36.d6 wins. A.3) 29... Kg8 30.Qg6 Bf8 31.Re8 Qb7 32.Be7 Qxe7 33.Rxe7 Bxe7 34.Qe6+ Kh7 (34... Kf8 35.Qc8+ wins) 35.Qxe7 cxd5 36.Qxa7 + - [Q+2P vs R+B]. B) 28... Be7 29.d6 B.1) 29... Qxc8 30.Rxf6+ wins the queen. 30.dxe7+ looks also winning. B.2) 29... Bxd6 30.Bxf6 gxf6 (30... Qxc8 31.Bd8+ Kg8 32.Re8#) 31.Qxf6+ as in A.1. B.3) 29... Qxd6 30.Rxd6 Bxd6 31.Bxf6 wins (31... gxf6 32.Qxf6 Kg8 33.Be6+ Kh7 34.Qf7#). C) 28... cxd5 29.Bxf6 is similar to previous lines. ----- I think I'd play 28.d5.

May-15-15		Tiggler: I decided that I'd play 28.d5 and then think about what's next with black's clock ticking!

May-15-15		Tiggler: Houdini thinks that 29.Rxf6+ is only fourth best. Be7, Rxd6, Bxf6 are the first three choices. All four moves win though.

May-16-15		al wazir: <Cybe: If 28... Be7 - simply: 29. d6, 29... B:d6, 30. B:f6.> That works. Thanks.

May-16-15		patzer2: Here's a look at 29. Bd7!! and 29. Bxf6! with Fritz: 29. Bd7!! Bc5 a. 29... Be7 30. d6 Bf8 31. Rxf6+ Qxf6 (31... Kg8 32. Be6#) 32. Be6+ Ke8 33. Bxf6 gxf6 34. Qg6+ Kd8 35. Qf7 Bxd6 36. Qd7#. b. 29... Bc7 30. Bxf6 gxf6 31. d6 Bb8 32. Qh5+ Kg7 33. Re7+ Qxe7 34. dxe7 . 30. Bxf6 gxf6 31. dxc6 Rg8 32. c7 Rg5 33. Qh7+ Rg7 34. cxd8=N+ Kf8 35. Re8# 29. Bxf6! gxf6 30. Bd7 Be7 31. d6 Bf8 32. Be8+ Kg8 33. Qg6+ Bg7 34. Re7 Rh7 35. Bd7 Qf8 36. Be6+ Kh8 37. Rxg7 Rxg7 38. Qxh6+ Rh7 39. Qxf8#.

May-16-15		patzer2: < Tiggler: Houdini thinks that 29.Rxf6+ is only fourth best. Be7, Rxd6, Bxf6 are the first three choices. All four moves win though.> Fritz 12 @ 21/49 depth gives its top four picks as 29. Bd7 (-11.86), 29. Bxf6 (-5.93), 29. Rxd6 (-5.56), 29. Rxf6+ (-4.63). P.S.: Surely you meant to type 29. Bd7 and not 29. Be7 as Houdini's first choice? If so, Fritz gives the same result as Houdini.

May-16-15		Tiggler: <patzer2> Yes, that was a typo. Thanks.

May-18-15		CHESSTTCAMPS: Close. I saw the game defense as the only tenacious defense, but picked 34.Qh5 instead of 34.Qg4 when visualizing from the POTD position. It's a position where good instincts might lead one to play 29.Rxf6+! and do a reevaluation at move 34.
