| Jan-05-02 | | bishop: Its hard to believe that Reuben Fine handled the White pieces! 8 Bxe4 was defenitly bad. Normally Fine would have seen 9...nxf2! in a speed game. |
|
| Jul-28-04 | | patzer2: Fine's 9. Rxg7? looks like an error, well punished by Dake's 9...Nxf2!! reply. |
|
| Jul-29-04 | | Calli: The explanation is simple. Fine was 16 years old at the time of this game. He was not yet the great Rueben. |

 | | Phony Benoni: Woodger's biography of Fine states that this game was played in a match. Fine had played the gambit <6.Nge2> earlier. Dake had not taken the pawn, eventually winning in around 70 moves. Afterwards, Dake did a little homework with the help of Al Horowitz, and this was the result. |
|
| Jul-04-19 | | thegoodanarchist: Dake had a Reuben for lunch. |

| Jan-02-20 | | mel gibson: I thought 9...Q-f6
but according to Stockfish 10 that's
an almost even move.
Stockfish 10 agrees with the text move:

 | | agb2002: The black queen can attack g7 and f2. This suggests 9... Nxf2 (9... Qf6 10.Rg2 Qf3 11.Nf4): A) 10.Kxf2 Qf6+ 11.Nf4 Qxg7 12.Qf3 Nc6 and Black emerges with a decisive material advantage. B) 10.Qa4(b3) Bf8 11.Rg2 Nd3+ and 12... Nxc1 wins a pawn but with a serious delay in development. C) 10.Qc2 Qh4 seems to win a pawn at least. |
|
| Jan-02-20 | | stacase: So I went move for move for the first 5 moves up to 13...Qxg7 winning White's Rook. How far are we supposed to see these puzzles to say we got it? |

| Jan-02-20 | | saturn2: I preferred
9...Nxf2 10. Kxf2 Qf6+ exchange plus pawn
to 9...Qf6 10. Rg2 Qf3 11. Nf4 Qxd1+12. Kxd1 Nxc3+ -

| Jan-02-20 | | Andrew Chapman: 11.Ng3 a big improvement for White - see ajile's line above. |
|
| Jan-02-20 | | TheaN: Black starts a promising demolish with <9....Nxf2>, whereas 10.Kxf2?! Qf6+ 11.Nf4 Qxg7 -+ is not really playable. After 10.Qc2 Qh4 ∓ should keep the advantage, trying to abuse the power of the e1-h4 diagonal. Perhaps the 'trickiest' move (not necessarily best) is 10.Qa4, where 10....Nc6! works, on account of 11.d5?! Nd3+! 12.Kd2 Nce5 -+ and all Black pieces are anchored. All in all Black isn't definitely winning after 9....Nxf2, but he's up a pawn and White's setup clearly failed. |
|
| Jan-02-20 | | TheaN: 9....Nxf2 10.Qa4 Nc6! 11.d5 Nd3+ 12.Kd2 (Kd1 objectively better but for optical purposes) Nce5 -+
click for larger viewThis is actually a brilliant sight to behold. White's completely hopeless against the piece triangle: the knights are defending each other (and their companion) whilst on outposts and the bishop can retreat in case of a potential a3 or Nf4. |
|
| Jan-02-20 | | Lambda: <How far are we supposed to see these puzzles to say we got it?> You need to see up to the point of clear and stable advantage. (For puzzles which aren't about finding the draw or avoiding the tempter.) In this case, that's not very far, because as soon as you see white can't recapture the knight or so anything tricky, it's just winning a pawn at minimum. If it's sacrificing a piece for a king hunt, on the other hand, you might need to see all twenty moves to mate in all variations, because if the king escapes, you're just a piece down. |

Thanks for all the ink (-:
<Breunor: I found it much easier than Monday!>
I did too. |

| Jan-02-20 | | RandomVisitor: After 9.Rxg7
In this variation the white king runs and hides on the queenside. Black ends up two pawns up.
