Jun-12-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Pure skure or pewer skewer this week. Raxe2 Rxe2 Rg1+ wins the other rook |
|
Jun-12-18 | | ChessHigherCat: Well, the combination was easy but it's a fairly bizarre choice for a Tuesday since it's really just an elaborate way of trading down. |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: The Left Rook is Right, and the Right Rook is Left. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | andrewjsacks: Late resignation. |
|
Jun-12-18
 | | Penguincw: Black has 3 pawns for a bishop. Tried to deflect the rook from the defense of the bishop, but not possible. But got it. 2/2 this week.
Yet another Women's Olympiad Game from 2008, and yet another rook skewer. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | jith1207: So, Rook endings this week, huh? |
|
Jun-12-18 | | patzer2: White's decisive mistake was 41. Be2?, allowing today's Tuesday puzzle solution 41...Raxe2 -+. Instead, 41. Re2 = (0.00 @ 25 ply, Stockfish 9 analysis of move 41...?) would've held it level. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | lost in space: 42. Rxe2+ Rxe2 43. Rg1+ Kd2 44. Rxb1 and Black win due to his extra pawns. If White wins blacks b-pawn, Black will eat up the kingside pawns and win there. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | stst: Main line remains 41.......Rg1+, 42.Bf1 f4
[(*) 42.Kf2 loses immediately as RxR]
(A1) 43.Rxe4 f3, 44.Rxb4 f2+, 45.Kd1 RxB#
(A2)44.Rf4 Re2+, 45.Kd1 RxB#
(B)
43.Rb3 f3
44.Rxb4 Re2+
45.Kd1 RxB# |
|
Jun-12-18 | | zb2cr: Black has 3 Pawns for a Bishop, and wins White's Bishop with 41. ... Raxe2+; 42. Rxe2, Rg1+; 43. Kd2, Rxb1. Black remains 3 Pawns up and should win the Rook ending in a straightforward manner. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | stst: <Late resignation....> Yeah, can hardly agree with the game moves... ok but not elegant... boring long dwindling... |
|
Jun-12-18 | | sudoplatov: Same theme as a recent puzzle. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | agb2002: Black has three pawns for a bishop.
The rook on b1 is defenseless but 41... Rg1+ is met with 42.Bf1. Therefore, 41... Raxe2+ 42.Rxe2 Rg1+ followed by 43... Rxb1 - + [3p]. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | UnknownPlayer: this puzzle was also quite easy. figured out in 30 seconds |
|
Jun-12-18 | | saturn2: The rook on b1 can be won by a skewer. 41..RaxB removes first the defender ie interposer |
|
Jun-12-18 | | Walter Glattke: 41.-Rg1+ 42.Bf1 Rg2 43.Rxb4 (otherwise RxRb1) 43.-Ka7 44.Reb3 R2g1 45.Rxb6! Rxf1+ 46.Kd2 Rd1+ 47.Ke3 g5! / 47.Kc3 Rd3+ 48.Kc4 Rxb4 49.Rxb3 Rxh3 50.Kc5 f4 |
|
Jun-12-18 | | Walter Glattke: 42.-Rag2 |
|
Jun-12-18 | | Walter Glattke: I saw 47.Ke3 or Kc3 both 47.-Rd3+ 43.-g5 not good. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | messachess: Difficult for being 'easy.' I got the exchange, but not the pawn play. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: It's skewer week.
Is somebody hankering after kebabs? |
|
Jun-12-18 | | Mayankk: Another Rook sac followed by a skewer. Sounds eerily familiar... Hope we get more variety in the latter days of this week. |
|
Jun-12-18
 | | Stonehenge: You also have to see 41...Raxe2+ 42. Kf1 Rxe3 43.Kxg2 b3 |
|
Jun-12-18 | | saturn2: <Stonehenge You also have to see 41...Raxe2+ 42. Kf1 Rxe3 43.Kxg2 b3> If 42 Kf1 then
Rf2 43 Ke1 Rg1 44 KxRf2 RxRb1 winning with the same skewer as in the game. |
|
Jun-12-18
 | | Stonehenge: Yes OK, but the variation with 42. Kf1 makes it a little bit more difficult. |
|
Jun-12-18 | | stacase: Count the Pawns and then proceed with 41...Raxe2+ |
