patzer2: Black has all those extra pawns. Yet they're so useless against the penetration of the White pieces. The pawn sacrifices for the initiative after 14. a3! and the avoidance of simplifying moves may look simple, but that's only because of White's precisely calculated attack. ...

patzer2: <Once> Nice find in 17. Bf2  instead of 17. b4?? hxg3 Earlier I like 4. Nc3 or 4.e3, 10. Qc2, 12. Bd2 or 12. f3, 13. Ne5 or 13. Bd2, 14. a4 and 15. Qb3 to try for ...

patzer2: Fascinating game, especially following today's Sunday puzzle solution 21...Ndf3+!! Like yesterday's solution, it's a highly promising best move with a strong attacking initiative and lots of opportunity for the opponent to go wrong. However, like Saturday's solution, it's also not a

patzer2: <Cheapo by the Dozen> Black wins after 30...Qxa1 31. Rxa1 (diagram below) [DIAGRAM] However finding the winning 31...Re3! here might be difficult, especially since the tempting alternative 31...Rf1+?? 32. Kg2!  turns the

patzer2: <Once><Is there any other sport where a player can be clearly winning and still lose to a sudden one-off strike?> You've touched on the knock out blow in boxing and the pin in wrestling. Auto racing with the possibility of a crash or mechanical failure putting the lead ...
