| aw1988: No doubt a Dutch Master. |

| yoozum: Juding by his percentage, it doesn't look like he did a lot of Wineenk. |

| blingice: Notice who he is playing, though, people like Euwe, Alekhine, Maroczy, Sultan Khan, Mieses, etc. I'm gonna just act like you never wrote that atrocity of a pun...:) |

| TheAlchemist: If I combine <yoozum>'s idea with mine, we might get: more Wineenk than Weenink. |

| yoozum: Yeah, I admit that the pun was really pretty awful... ;-) |

| capanegra: This is a pretty study composed by Weenink in 1917. White to play and win.

| dbquintillion: 1. a7 Rg8
2. Bg3 |

| capanegra: <dbquintillion> After 1.a7 Rg2+ comes first, and the King must not dare go to the third rank because of 2...Rg8 3.Bg3+ Rxg3+. So, what should White play instead? |
|
| Jul-11-07 |
| dbquintillion: hmm... puzzle was obviously more difficult than i thought. How about 2. Kb1 Rg1+ 3. Be1 Rg8 (if 3. ... Rxe1+ 4. Kb2 Re2+ 5. Kb3 Re3+ 6. Kb4 Re4+ 7. Kb5 wins) 4. Bg3+ followed by Rxg3 and white queens the pawn or K to anywhere and Bb8 wins. Is that right? |

| capanegra: Yes, you got it! |

| dbquintillion: Thanks for the puzzle! |

| capanegra: Here's another Weenink (1922), a bit more difficult, but also more nice. White to play and win.

| dbquintillion: 1. Bh7 Kc3
2. Kb5 Kd4
3. Kc6 Ke5
4. Kd7 Kf4
5. g6 Kf5
6. Ke7
and wins?
Looks right to me, but I'm at work and can't check over the board. Seems like it might be too simple since you said this once was more difficult. |

| SwitchingQuylthulg: <dbquintillion> After 4.Kd7 Black, instead of 4...Kf4?, moves 4...g6! 5.Bxg6 Kf4 and 6...Kxg5 drawing. So you must put a bit more effort in. ;-) |

| dbquintillion: I shouldn't post when I haven't checked these through carefully... makes me look a bit dumb! |

| sneaky pete: M. Franken: Zijn laatste probleem
Wij hebben samen om je graf gestaan
- bedolven onder veler bloemen pracht -
Hoe werd je goedheid, kennis droef herdacht:
Wèl was je leven rijk met vrucht belaân ...
Wij hebben je een laatste groet gebracht
en zijn verslagen weer naar huis gegaan.
Wij hadden nog zoo veel van jou verwacht
en niets dan donk're leegte grijnst ons aan ...
Wat heeft je werkzaam brein gesteld ons vaak
't probleem te vinden, dat je denken wrochtte.
Dit op te lossen is tè zwaar een taak:
O, dat wij eens 't probleem doorgronden mochten
dat jij zóó vroeg van ons bent heengegaan.
Wij hebben samen om je graf gestaan ...
