Jan-30-19 | | karban: Man, chess is a reach game after all. I found Bf1 but only after examining all other bishop moves:) huh. Together with yesterdays Re2 these are one of the most memorables pin combo from chessgames. |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Whitehat1963: I suggested it more than 10 years ago. No, of course I couldn’t come up with the solution today! |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Nosnibor: Similar theme to Tuesdays puzzle but nevertheless a pleasing finish. |
|
Jan-30-19 | | 1stboard: X-Ray attack type of move |
|
Jan-30-19 | | engineerX: I had seen this move in a tactics puzzle book 20 years ago and it was so beautiful I never forgot it. |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Vermit: 20... 0-0 is an inspired move. It's brave to leave the h pawn hanging, but then White's king is trapped in the centre |
|
Jan-30-19 | | CopyBlanca: Looking back on my mediocre playing days it was definitely looking at every reasonable move would have made me a much better player. |

|
Jan-30-19 | | et1: brilliant |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Diana Fernanda: Bishop f1, believe who that Is all, sin the queen or mate chess. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: <vonKrolock: Me too... Not hard, but sweet.> <et1: brilliant> I agree with these folks - sublime move. |

 | | gawain: I saw this one immediately! It's still early enough in the week that the most shocking move has a good chance of being the right one. |
|
Jan-30-19 | | RKnight: Kudos to CG! Today's puzzle is great and even artistic. (I've complained once or twice about non-puzzles.) |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Rama: I knew if I could just move that Bishop somewhere there was a winning combo. I missed f1, though. |

<27....Bf1>.
I need not say more today, on this brilliancy. |
|
Jan-30-19 | | karban: To find Bf1 is pleasant in the actual position but what about seeing it 2 or more moves ahead during the game? That must be have been a feeling! |
|
Jan-30-19 | | dTal: Perfect Wednesday puzzle, I was suckered into Rd1+ but in my defence I haven't had much sleep in the last week... |
|
Jan-30-19 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Ack. Total whiff. I discounted the possibility of a discovered attack on White's queen because I forgot that it was pinned. |

 | | drollere: Bf1 is necessary to unblock the Q file and also so that Rc1+ prevents the bishop capture. |

 | | Count Wedgemore: 27...Bf1 is of course the winning move, but Black is still much better, even after something like 27...Qb6, or 27...Qa6. |

 | | Plaskett: I complimented Adorjan on 27...Bf1!. "Not a bad idea!", he replied.
I also told Frederic Friedel that Adorjan is a genius.
He replied "I know: Andras has told me himself many times." |
