stacase: Not your usual Monday but easy enough.

| | Jun-19-17 Van der Wiel vs J van Baarle, 1983
| |
|
stacase: White's Queen needs to occupy f7 instead of the Rook. Hmmm, how to move the Rook and not lose tempo? 16. Rf8+ does the job nicely.

stacase: <radtop: ...It's easier to solve a puzzle when you know it has a solution.> That was my thought as I was going move for move banging this one out.

stacase:
Way too easy for a Saturday.
Were we supposed to see it all the way to the Rook sacrifice 30.Rg4+?

| | Jun-06-17 Areshchenko vs A Rustemov, 2014
| |
|
stacase: Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead! Works every time - well OK, sometimes. Was there enough power on e8 and was White's Knight well placed or what? Black was going to lose the exchange.

|
stacase: That took about five seconds.

| | May-18-17 L'Ami vs E Safarli, 2007
| |
|
stacase: 26...Ktxe3 wins two Pawns for the Knight and opens up the center of the board for Black's Queen and two Bishops to visit all sorts of nastiness on White's now disorganized band of not-so merry men.

| |
|
stacase: <Oxspawn: Please don't say "Way too easy for a Thursday". It's Thursday and I got it!> Sorry, I thought 20 Rc6 was obvious. Sometimes you see it and sometimes you don't. This was one of those sometimes.

|
stacase: The object of the game is to checkmate the other guy's King, not take all his pieces, although that usually does work.
