| Nov-29-21 | | stacase: Tomorrow's puzzles have been showing up at uh I'm guessing midnight Greenwich mean time which is 6:00PM Central time in the U.S. for some time. Besides that, it did take a while to see that Black's f pawn has been assigned double duty guarding e6 which prevents White from skewering Black's Queen AND supporting the Black Rook's attack on White's Queen. So, Take the Rook and skewer Black's Queen on the next move. Result: White wins a Rook and Black throws in the towel. Black should have folded after 45.Qxg6. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | saturn2: <stacase Result: White wins a Rook > It is a knight after
45.Qxg6 fxg6 46. Re6 Kc7 47. Rxd6 Kxd6 48. Re6 |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | phantasmagorium: Seems like White will not actually win any more material after 45. Qxg6 fxg6 46. Re6 Ne8. But, hey, she is already two pawn ahead - and the little combination allows her to force the occurrence of an easily won game. Still, this combination is probably not VERY easy in the sense that while the key move (45. Qxg6) is almost unbelievably easy to see, it needs this observation to make a player willing to make that move. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | agb2002: White has two extra pawns.
Black threatens Rxh6.
The pawn on f7 is overburdened with the defense of e6 and g6. This suggests 45.Qxg6: A) 45... fxg6 46.Re6 Ne8 (46... Kc7 47.Rxd6 Kxd6 48.Re6+ wins the knight) 47.Rxd6+ Nxd6 48.Re6 Kc7 49.Rxg6 + - [3P]. B) 45... Qxe5 46.Rxe5 fxg6 47.Re6+ wins the knight. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | stacase: <saturn2: <stacase Result: White wins a Rook >> At the point of resignation, White is up a Rook, and I didn't look any further. I didn't do a count to see that White was already up two Pawns until this post. But yes were the game to continue White's 2nd Rook would nab the Black Queen, say check, and vaporize the hapless Knight on the next move. Further analysis would be counter productive. But thanks for the reply. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | drollere: i had 45. Qxg6 fxg6, 46. Re6 Qxe6, 47. Rxe6+ Kc7, 48. Rxf6 and white wins the piece and the g pawn. |

But, hey, she is already two pawn ahead - and the little combination allows her to force the occurrence of an easily won game.> 47 Rxd6 Nxd6 48 Re6 Kc7 49 Rxg6 picks up yet another pawn, and of course black at that point has no chance of stopping the connected passers. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | Messiah: Very eazy. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | phantasmagorium: <agb2002> <unferth> yup. I did not notice that. White wins one more pawn and wins easily, as both of you point out. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | paavoh: It is Monday again. 45. Qxg6 fxg6 followed by 46. Re6 should be enough for a win. |

| Nov-29-21 | | QueenMe: Classic over-burdened piece, typically not a pawn. |

|
| Nov-29-21 | | ndg2: Most comments here say that white wins a piece, but it's actually "just" three pawns: 45. ♕xg6 fxg6 46. ♖e6 ♘e8 47. ♖xd6+ ♘xd6 48. ♖e6 ♔c7 49. ♖xg6. In this sense, the puzzle actually is not "very easy", because the consequences may a little bit more complicated than first expected. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | TheaN: <45.Qxg6> is obvious, though <45....fxg6 46.Re6 Ne8 47.Rxd6+ Nxd6 48.Re6 Kc7 49.Rxg6 +-> is not as definite as we're used to for a Monday. It is however, incredibly trivial. Neither black piece has a target. The white knight's chilling on d2 defending b3, and White can simply start rolling the king side pawns. Even if Black can stop them to some extend, c5 is surprisingly weak. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | Brenin: White is already up by 2P, and wins another P by 45 Qxg6 fxg6 46 Re6 Ne8 47 Rxd6+ Nxd6 48 Re6 Kc7 49 Rxg6. With three passed Ps, and Qs off the hard, the ending is an easy win for White. |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | whiteshark: 45.Qxg6 fxg6 46.Re6 Kc7 47.Rxd6 Kxd6 48.Re6+ win the ♘f6. |

| Nov-29-21 | | Stanco: In Shogi you will be facing:
46...R dropping on e3+ 47.R6xe3 (or R1xe3, all the same) 47...N dropping on f4#!
😉 |

| Nov-29-21 | | TheaN: <Stanco: In Shogi you will be facing:
46...R dropping on e3+ 47.R6xe3 (or R1xe3, all the same) 47...N dropping on f4#! 😉> I've never really put much time into Shogi, but I know about the reuse of captured pieces; Kxe3 is not a legal move I reckon? Forgot if he moves lateral or diagonally, or whether there's a different reason. Cool line though, nonetheless. Really should look it up once :> |
|
| Nov-29-21 | | Stanco: <TheN> You are right, Kxe3 is a legal move👍
I missed that one 😁 lol |
