Jul-11-16		leRevenant: <stacase: That took less than 5 seconds.> You can multiply that by about 10 for me.

Jul-11-16		cocker: Simple but slightly unusual tactic.

Jul-11-16		morfishine: <27...Rf1+>

Jul-11-16		apexin: Only took me a few seconds. A simple puzzle.

Jul-11-16		zb2cr: The White Queen is preventing ... Qd2#. But, 27. ... Rf1+; 28. Kxf1, Qf2# works.

Jul-11-16		thegoodanarchist: <Penguincw: .... And ugh, I did not get this puzzle. :( > I'm sorry for you. That's depressing.

Jul-11-16		Granny O Doul: Also not bad is 27... Bf2+ with mate in two more.

Jul-11-16		Tigranvp: Zugzwang!

Jul-11-16		YetAnotherAmateur: Easy mate in 2: 27. ... Rf1+ 28. Kxf1 Qf2# But it took me slightly longer than it should have because I looked for queen sacs first.

Jul-11-16		kevin86: A sacrifice decoy move. White is forced to move into mate.

Jul-11-16		Domdaniel: <Granny O Doul> After 27...Bf2+, don't forget the Black Rook is en prise. Black still should win after 28.Kf1 Bc5+, but there's no quick mate.

Jul-11-16		YouRang: <Domdaniel: <Granny O Doul> After 27...Bf2+, don't forget the Black Rook is en prise. Black still should win after 28.Kf1 Bc5+, but there's no quick mate.> Well, 27...Bf2+ 28.Kf1 Qc4+! is pretty quick mate...

Jul-11-16		Gilmoy: Pipe sac for the Twitter generation!

Jul-11-16		drollere: this one was easy. "hmm ... if only the king were on f1, then Qf2 would be fatal."

Jul-11-16		dark.horse: Neat position. Whoever moves wins.

Jul-11-16		BOSTER: This is very strange that such GM like Lenderman moved his king ( 24.Kf1 ) on the same line with the queen, pinning his knight b5.

Jul-11-16		Tiggler: 27... Rf1+ is obvious enough, but as a diversion I looked to see what other moves might win (and, indeed, not lose). 27... Bd2+ seems to work: 28. Qxd2 Rf1+ and the white Q is lost after 29. whatever. 28. Ke2 is answered by Bb4+ etc.

Jul-11-16		Nullifidian: Looks like Lenderman got so focused on winning with his threat of a smothered mate that he forgot to protect his king. 27... ♖f1+ 28. ♔xf1 ♕f2#

Jul-11-16		Cheapo by the Dozen: That's like a tactic from double bughouse -- sac something to make the opposing king move one square.

Jul-11-16		YouRang: <Tiggler: 27... Rf1+ is obvious enough, but as a diversion I looked to see what other moves might win (and, indeed, not lose). 27... Bd2+ seems to work: 28. Qxd2 Rf1+ and the white Q is lost > Well...I dunno. :-) 27...Bd2+ 28.Qxd2 Rf1+ 29.Kxf1 Qxd2 click for larger view Yes, the white Q is lost, but the win for black (if any) is hardly trivial.

Jul-12-16		gawain: Quite a neat finish.

Jul-12-16		thegoodanarchist: <Domdaniel: <Granny O Doul> After 27...Bf2+, don't forget the Black Rook is en prise. Black still should win after 28.Kf1 Bc5+, but there's no quick mate.> <Dom>, good point, but do you ever feel like the older sibling who tells the younger ones that Santa isn't real?

Jul-13-16		Granny O Doul: <anarchist> Dom's "point" was answered by YouRang in the post directly below it.

Jul-13-16		thegoodanarchist: < Granny O Doul: <anarchist> Dom's "point" was answered by YouRang in the post directly below it.> D'oh! I stopped reading too soon...

Aug-06-16		Domdaniel: <YouRang> -- <blush>
