 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Easy, yes, but still beautiful. The opening features an interesting gambit, declined by Black for good reason: if 5...Nxh5; 6.e4,fxe4; 7.Rxh5,gxh5; 8.Qxh5+,Kf8; 9.Bh6 has scored well. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | diagonalley: easy?! ... maybe... but it took me several minutes to spot it... (i also went for N-K8) |

Aug-08-17 | | jffun1958: 4-mate:
24. Nb5+ Bxc6 (only move) 25. Na7+ Kc7 (only move) 26. exf5 e5 27. Bxe5#took me 5 to 7 minutes. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | paavoh: Lovely finish. Took a bit more time than with the usual Tuesday puzzle. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Kept looking for the Knight fork on e7 then realized Ne8 wins. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | AlicesKnight: 24.Ne8+ forces ...Bxc6, on which 25.Nd6 brings a pretty version of the 2Ns mate with Black self-blocked and an elegant picture of cavalry to the fore. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | morfishine: The ole one-two: <24.Ne8+> followed by <25.Nd6#> I didn't notice 24.Nb5+, but no matter
***** |
|
Aug-08-17 | | jffun1958: Now I see:
It is 2-mate:
24. Nb5+ Bxc6 (only move) 25. Nd6# |
|
Aug-08-17 | | Tietie007: Nice mat. |

 | | Willber G: "Two knights the knight" |
|
Aug-08-17 | | saturn2: Me too I only noticed the knight hopping Ne8+, Nd6++
I think the reasons are:
a) if I see a mate in 2 I dont consider anything else b) one is led to regard forward moves before backward moves. |

|
Aug-08-17 | | BOSTER: Nh5xf6. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | drollere: i also spent several minutes on this one. i wasted time looking at unblocking the bishops, etc., then found the 2-step knight lock. i also went for Ne8+ and Nc6#. seemed more amusing to put the checking piece where the Q can't touch it. a clever and remarkable mate, considering how far the K had to be herded to get into it. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | Nosnibor: A very pretty and satisfying finish. Took me a few minutes to spot the mate. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | King Harvest: Sweet mate. Black's 15...b6?! was a self-inflicted wound. By 18...Bxd4?! the wheels are coming off. Mamedyarov makes the finish beginning 19.Qa4! look easy. |
|
Aug-08-17 | | LucB: What <OCF> said, minus the "then realized Ne8 wins".. :( |
|
Aug-08-17 | | Iwer Sonsch: 24.Nb5+ Bxc6 25.Nd6#. Nice combination. |
|
Aug-09-17 | | kevin86: White sacs the queen to mate with two knights! |

 click for larger viewThe given line from jffun1958 just doesn't work, as 25. ... Kc7 is ineligible-- the White Knight at e6 attacks c7. Also, there is an e5-Pawn already, so 26. ... e5 is another error. |
