 | | lost in space: Took me a while to find 29...f5. I was locking first to backrank-motives but without luck/success .... |

 | | gawain: Like several other solvers I was fixated on the lure of a back rank mate. Could not see the winning move. |

 | | messachess: Ha ha ha! I actually did not see the simple pawn move. Looking for that back rank mate. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <OCF: This is a rare occasion where I think a position presented as a puzzle makes it harder to find than it would have been over the board. I'm with the group who was tantalized by the back rank weakness and spent a lonng time looking for some way to take advantage of it. I think it might have been easier to find on a Wednesday or Thursday, for that matter, just to get me away from trying to displace that dastardly d2 Knight.> And it was only June 18th.....I had already forgotten that. Same thing again today. |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | yadasampati: <OhioChessFan> It was June 19th, which was a Tuesday. I said it before: why does CG repeat puzzles from the very recent past, and why are they not consistent in the weekday? |

| | OhioChessFan: <yada> the website owner/webmaster died recently. There are a number of resulting problems with the daily operations. The repetition of puzzles is one symptom. Hopefully this will get cleared up soon. |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | leRevenant: Also, <chrisowen>'s literary style has changed noticeably. Is there some subtle connection? |

 | | ChessHigherCat: I remembered this one but it's worth a second look. That said, anybody have an idea for a Friday puzzle? |
|

 | | Jimfromprovidence: I don't know if this is a Friday level puzzle but it's real good. Move 29, white to play and win.

| Aug-10-18 | | Mayankk: Thank JFP. Got the idea behind knight sac and the resulting fork possibilities. I didn’t notice the subsequent second Rook sac at first glance but that’s probably okay. Does it make a difference as to which knight do we move first to e4? |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | saturn2: <Jim> I got the basic idea but my follow up differs a bit from the game. 29. Nce4 dxe4 30. Nxe4 Kf8 31. Qd6+ Kg7 32. Nf6 Qh4 33. g3 Qh6 34. Nxg8 Kxg8 35. Rxc6 bxc6 36. Qxb8 Qf8 |

If 29 Nge4 black can complicate things with 29..Rxg1+ |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | MrCarciofo: Already used as POTD; maybe a year ago or so. a few seconds and I remembered f5. And I also remembered that a year ago I couldn't find this move. |

 | | malt: Thanks <Jim> I had Puzzle to put forward. I got 29.Nce4 de4 30.N:e4 Rf6 31.R:c6 bc6 32.Rd1 Kf8 33.g4 Qh6 34.Qd6+ |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | Patriot: <Jim> I was thinking 29.Qc2 followed by 30.Na6. |

What could black have to do anymore? |
|
| Aug-10-18 | | lzromeu: Reading anothers comments...
I was looking for back-rank mate too, but needed the bishop to threat D2, and for this, need to atack g5, and for this needed remove the rook threat, and then I saw the rook is dead. |

|
| Aug-10-18 | | PJs Studio: I found f5 as the best method for attacking the battery piece as blacks king is short of squares. I thought there’d be a follow up. Not bad for a Friday. |
|

 | | CHESSTTCAMPS: Black has B+P for a knight. White's discovered check threat of 30.Nxe6+ is not compelling, but against nervous opposition might draw losing blunders 29... Kh8??? or 29... Kf8???. In fact, white has overloaded his rook, which can be exploited with 29...f5! 30.Rh4 Bxg5 31.Rxh5 Bxd2 winning. Probably intended as a one star puzzle. |
