 | | LIFE Master AJ: <RT> Thanks for the info, I am sure that most of the members here did not know many of the cool little factoids that you shared with us. |
|
Mar-07-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: <Resignation Trap> It is actually very likely that this game was played in the Dutch city of Bussum. |
|
Mar-07-06 | | Resignation Trap: <EmperorAtahualpa> I took that possibility into consideration. However, I also looked at the crosstable of this event: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cserica/s... , and I noticed many German players, but no Dutch players, so it seemed highly unlikely. |

Jun-04-13 | | whiteshark: Polugayevsky mentionend that "Black misses the interesting possibility of <17...Na5!>,
 click for larger viewafter which 18. Ne7+ can be quietly met by 18...Kh8, while the sacrifice of a piece for three pawns -18.Bxb6 axb6 19.Qxb6 (19.Qg3 Bxd5) 19...Bxe5 is in his favour." |
|
May-25-14 | | hedgeh0g: What a cheeky finish: Black is given a taste of his own medicine with a sexy counterdecoy. |
|
May-05-19 | | thegoodanarchist: Well done, Lev! |
|
May-05-19 | | Walter Glattke: Very nice mate picture: 32.-Kf8 33.Bg7+ Ke8 34.Bf7# 27.-fxe5 28.Bxd8 Rxd8 29.Qc6
Nd6 30.Qd5+ Kf8 31.Qxe5 should win. |
|
May-05-19 | | Steve.Patzer: Very sneaky with the Queen pinned. |

 | | al wazir: I see that I commented on this game previously. On the first page I asked what happens after 27...fxe5. But that was 12 years ago. Having forgotten that, this time I found 27. Bxf6 Bxf6 28. Rxe8+ Rxe8 29. Bxb7, winning a ♙. (If 29...Re5, then 30. Bd5+.) |
|
May-05-19 | | groog: yes, really really sneaky, nice one Lev |
|
May-05-19 | | malt: Found the same line as <al wazir> 27.B:f6 B:f6 28.R:e8+ R:e8 29.B:b7 Kf8
30.Bc6 picking up a pawn. |
|
May-05-19 | | clement41: What a gem!
Twice the same tactical theme in the same combination (I am referring to the deflection of the enemy rook protecting its queen : 30...Re1+ and 32 Bd5+ )
Thanks Bilek for allowing a much prettier win than after the more prosaic 29...Qxc7 |

The computer plays harder as Black.

 | | agb2002: White has the bishop pair for a bishop and a knight. Black threatens fxg5 although White has Bxb7.
White has Bxf6 and Rxe5.
In the case of 27.Bxf6 Bxf6 28.Rxe8+ Rxe8 29.Bxb7 White wins a pawn (29... Qxb7 30.Qxe8+) but the presence of opposite color bishops may give Black drawing chances. In the case of 27.Rxe5:

A.1) 28... Rxe5 29.Bxf6

May-05-19 | | Jambow: Honestly although the full continuation alluded me, I think openening lines of attack with 27.Rxe5 considering 26.Bg5 preceeded it is somewhat natural as a potential move. This is further enticed if one also notices the bishop pair get lines of attack against the black king combined with the fact that the queen has c4+ to work with. Now arriving at 27.Qc7+ is where I might have lost the thread over the board since it is so hard to give up your queen in the midsts of an attack for me anyway. That aside seeing as it gives the rook control of the seventh and the light squared bishop has access to the D file maybe a glimmer exists to find the needle in the proverbial haystack. This since resulting position becomes within my limited depth of calculation. Great position to get the creative juices flowing and enticing an insructive attacking combination to follow. In short worthy puzzle cg.com |

 | | al wazir: <Walter Glattke: 27.Bxf6 Nd6> 28. Qd5+ Nf7 (28...Kf8 29. Rxe5) 29. Bxd8. Am I overlooking something? |
|
May-05-19 | | Pedro Fernandez: The only move I didn't see was 29...Kg8 (I thought 28...Qxb7, but it is plainly inferior), but after of it the subsequent moves were easy. |
|
May-06-19 | | TheTamale: Oh, thank God. I didn't notice this wasn't the Monday puzzle yet and despaired when I couldn't figure it out. Wasn't quite ready to hand in my hard-earned 1200 rating just yet. |
|
Jan-31-21 | | SpiritedReposte: The final position and resulting forced mate is on a razor edge tightrope. |
