Oct-05-17		FSR: 27...Rxg3+ 28.hxg3 Qxg3+ is crushing: 29.Kh1 Rh8+; 29.Kf1 Rg8 or Rh8; 29.Rg2 Qe1+ 30.Kh2 Rh8#.

Oct-05-17		uniqueid: It seems like the game move 28. Rh8 is the key move securing win for black. <FSR> 29.Rg2 Qe1+ and 30. Bh1 instead of 30. Kh2, saves the game for white (even with the e-pawn marching down). The Stockfish analysis shows draw after 30. Kh2 <chessgames.com> pretty awesome that you've made the engine analysis dynamically linked to the game analysis. Thank you!

Oct-05-17		raviarun: Better response to 29.kf1 is ...Qf1+. Followed by 30.Ke1 Qh1#, or 30.Kg1 Rg8+ 31.Kh2 Qh5# or 31.Rg2 Qg2#

Oct-05-17		raviarun: I missed Bf1 defence too. Thanks <uniqueid>

Oct-05-17		FSR: <uniqueid> You're right - in my zeal to be first, my analysis left something to be desired.

Oct-05-17		lost in space: What a wonderful pawn on e3, not allowing Kf2. And how good it is to Black, this pawn c2, not allowing a coordination of Queen and rook on the second rank. 27...Rxg3+ 28. hxg3 Rh8! 29. Rg2 Qh5! and no way to protect whites king from mate

Oct-05-17		WorstPlayerEver: Ghe after a few seconds I thought: why grabbing that useless pawn? I am not some totally senseless materialistic guy. Yay!

Oct-05-17		Walter Glattke: 28.-Rh8?? 29.Kf1 Qh5 30.Ke1 Qh1+ 31.Ke2 Qxg2+ 32.Kxe3 -+. but 28.-Qxg3+ 29.Kh1 Rh8# or 29.Kf1 Rh8 30.Rg2 Rh1+ 31.Ke2 Re1#

Oct-05-17		piltdown man: That was a pert pair of moves.

Oct-05-17		saturn2: After 27...Rxg3 28 hxR black has the open h file, the pawn e3 and queen plus rook to attack the king. It should be enough.

Oct-05-17		Richard Taylor: I have to be honest I failed to find the correct solution finding a "brilliant" solution that fails in the end...But the game continuation leads to a beautiful mate. So I will now done sackcloth and ashes and torment myself for 40 days... Very instructive indeed!

Oct-05-17		Richard Taylor: In fact I went for <FSR>'s line and had the pawn on e2 about to cause mate forgetting that the Q on b5 could take it...but every other move wins for Black! Oh well, it is so easy to miscalculate such things and Rh8 is very powerful, leaving no ragged ends...

Oct-05-17		WorstPlayerEver: Ghehe well.. I forgive you guys. It's still mind over matter.

Oct-05-17		patzer2: Looking at it from the White side I had difficulty with today's Thursday puzzle (27...?,) as I kept wanting to force things with 27...Rxg3+ 28. Rxg3 hxg3 Qxg3? Unfortunately, this fizzles out to a level position after 28...Qxg3+ 29.Rg2 Qe1+ 30.Bf1 e2 31.Rxe2 Qg3+ 32.Rg2 Qe3+ 33.Kh1 Rh8+ 34.Rh2 Qf3+ 35.Kg1 Rxh2 36.Kxh2 Qxf1 = (0.00 @ 43 depth, Stockfish 8.) So I decided to flip the board and looked at it from the Black side and after 27...Rxg3+ 28. Rxg3 (diagram below) click for larger view the winning follow-up move 28...Rh8! -+ became clearly obvious. This forces mate after the game continuation or 28...Rh8! 29. Rh2 Qxg3+ 30. Rg2 Qe1+31. Bf1 Qh5 (diagram below.) click for larger view Here (diagram above,) White only has silly spite check piece sacs to delay mate-in-one. P.S.: White's game starts to go bad with 21. Bxd3? exd3 ∓ (-0.98 @ 30 depth, Stockfish 8.) Instead, the defensive maneuver 21. Rf2 Ng4 22. Re2 Qe7 23. Nf1 Qh4 24. g3 Ke1 = (0.00 @ 33 depth, Stockfish 8) holds it level. White's game goes from bad to worse with 22. Rbe1? Nd4 -+ (-2.33 @ 31 depth, Stockfish 8.) Instead, 22. Qc4 Qe7 23. Rfe1 ⩱ (-0.52 @ 31 depth, Stockfish 8) gives White a fighting to survive.

Oct-05-17		morfishine: Black played all the Pertinent moves *****

Oct-05-17		mel gibson: Move 24. K x B is already mate in 16: 24. Kxg2 Qb7+ (24. .. Qc6+ (♕c7-c6+ ♔g2-g1 ♘d4-f3+ ♖f1xf3 ♕c6xf3 c2-c3 ♖g8xg3+) +M16/13 73) score for Black - mate in 16

Oct-05-17		Sally Simpson: Got it (insert smug smiley.) 'cept here. click for larger view I threw in 29.Qd1+ Bf1 and then 30 Qh5. which does mate. 29.Qd1+ was played forcing 29...Bf1 to stop 30...Kf1 after 30.Qh5 as position appeared: click for larger view I realised 30...Kf1 31.Qd1 mate. But keep smug smiley. Did not botch it just over elaborated a little and again blaming solving upside down with Black to play.

Oct-05-17		Lambda: I saw 28...Qxg3+ 29.Rg2 Qe1+ 30.Bf1 e2 31.Rxe2 Qg3+ 32.Rg2 Qe3+ but thought it was winning, somehow missing the fact that the king can go to the h-file on h1 and then the rook can cover it on h2.

Oct-05-17		WorstPlayerEver: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oct-05-17		Sally Simpson: Thanks W.P.E. that will be my smug smiley.

Oct-05-17		Cheapo by the Dozen: I hallucinated about: 29 ... Qd1+ 30 Bf1 e2 31 Rxe2 Rh1+ But on review, I don't think that really works (and may not work against 31 Rf2 either).

Oct-05-17		Cheapo by the Dozen: By the way, the problem with 28 ... Qxg3+ 29 Rg7 Qe1+ 30 Bf1 Rd1 is that White has too many attacking chances of his own. There's no way Black can win at this point with a non-forcing line.

Oct-05-17		kevin86: No escape without loss of the rook.

Oct-05-17		SuperPatzer77: <patzer2> <...the winning follow-up move 28...Rh8! -+ became clearly obvious. This forces mate after the game continuation or 28...Rh8! 29. Rh2 Qxg3+ 30. Rg2 Qe1+31. Bf1 Qh5 (diagram below)...> You mistyped 31...Qh5 - it should be 31...Qh4 but I saw your correct diagram. SuperPatzer77
