| Nov-27-17 | | patzer2: Mate-in-two with 36...Qxa4+ 37.bxa4 (37.Kb1 Qa1#) Rxb2# easily solves today's Monday puzzle. White's game starts to go bad with 13. dxc6? bxc6 ∓ (-1.37 @ 29 ply, Stockfish 8). Instead, 13. a3 = (-0.16 @ 26 ply, Stockfish 8) holds it near level. Early in the opening, our Opening Explorer indicates the great majority of Masters playing this line prefer 7. 0-0 ⩲ to = over 7. f3 =. |

|
| Nov-27-17 | | saturn2: 36..Qxa4 mate in both cases. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | SpamIAm: Love the material imbalance- rook and four pawns vs. 3 minor pieces. Minor pieces will usually win unless one of those pawns is close to queening. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | AlicesKnight: As <saturn2> says - there's mate with ....Qa1 or ....Rxb2. |

 | | Bubo bubo: Mate-in two: 36...Qxa4+ 37.bxa4 Rxb2# or 37.Kb1 Qa1# |

|
| Nov-27-17 | | Once: Very impressed with black's play here. He calmly brings his pieces near the enemy king and makes threat after threat. Sooner or later he is going to make a threat that white can't defend against. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | perfessor: The old saying I learned is, Three pieces is a mate. Four is too many, and five - well, you better start by giving something away. |

| Nov-27-17 | | Everyone: solved it, too!!! |

|
| Nov-27-17 | | It takes two: Outstanding play by black. White can’t defend against the queen sac made by black 36...Qxa4+ forcing mate in two. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | whiteshark: <36...Qxa4+> is like a tin opener. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | varishnakov: Nice to see such a game from the Philidor. I love that opening, for some reason. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | kevin86: Queen sac and ROOK mate! |

 | | ChessCoachClark: I appreciate the way the Vukovic Mate is brought down against Hector in a sideways orientation and that two Bishops were needed as helpers. Added this game to my collection of Vukovic Mates today, as well. Students will love this actual game example! |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | eblunt: Rxb3 mate in 3, maybe 5 if you a couple for spite checks |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | BOSTER: <rilkefan> :< Where did White go wrong?>.
17.Bc4 is good enough to continue to play the game.So mistake was Qg6. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Queen's Rook file, for variety from the usual Monday pattern. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | Nullifidian: 36... ♕xa4+
37. ♔b1 ♕a1#
37. ♙bxa4 ♖xb2# |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | jffun1958: The mate pattern is analogous to D Byrne vs Fischer, 1956 aka "The Game of the Century" :-) |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | Marmot PFL: If you can give up the queen with check you can solve most Monday puzzles. |
|
| Nov-27-17 | | zb2cr: Straightforward. 36. ... Qxa4+ sets up mate on the next move, no matter which of 2 alternatives White chooses. If 37. bxa4, Rxb2#.
If 37. Kb1, Qa1#. |
