Muztang: <sevenseaman>: Your daily posts are of course valuable, and I can only support what <Patriot> just said... But I can't quite see what would change with the format of "the solution next day". That wouldn't prevent anyone form 'cheating'(*), would it? (*): again, cheating ...

Muztang: <Tired Tim: Oh, Oh, it's Monday so I can sacrifice the queen. So 10. Ne6 Qxh8 11. Nc7#....> Euh... How about 11... Qxc7 ? :P

Muztang: hmmm, I guess it was a ninja gift before the real deal ;-) (This problem appeared to be POTD on sunday 9th Dec 2012, for about 10 mins :P )

Muztang: I think 39. e6 also wins :P

Muztang: gofer, I think there's another line behind 13... Be6 14. Bxe6 Qa6
15. Bxf5!
With the idea of 16 Bxe4. The threat of Bg5 is always hanging (as h6 allows Bxg6), so the black king is virtually cornered. I cannot see any forced mate, but the pressure on Black's position seems ...
