| Nov-07-04 | | Swindler: What an unusual way to get the h1 rook into action! Is it theory, or was it a new move? |
|
| Nov-07-04 | | mack: Games Like Fischer vs William Hook, 1970 |
|
| Nov-07-04 | | Swindler: Ok thanks, didn't know about that feature. |
|
| Jul-27-05 | | woodenbishop: A Fischer classic!! |
|
| Jul-27-05 | | micartouse: The opening maneuver 8. Qg4, 9. Qd1 is a nice one to remember. Then Fischer develops his king rook like a beginner and gives his opponent a thorough tactical thrashing. Awesome game. |
|
| Sep-10-05 | | Ulhumbrus: Fischer concedes two tempi with his Q in return for which Hook makes the greater concession of losing the right to castle. Thus the transaction favours Fischer. |
|
| Sep-10-05 | | Ulhumbrus: 21 Nf4 attacks the d5 pawn. It thus overloads the the e6 pawn. The e6 pawn has now, in addition to protecting the Nf5 ,the additional task of covering d5. |
|
| Sep-10-05 | | Ulhumbrus: 28 Rxe6+ vacates the square f6 for white's queen |
|
| Sep-10-05 | | Ulhumbrus: A game to learn from. One can of course say that of many a master game. |
|
| Feb-11-06 | | latebishop: Another good game for the daily problem-from White's 26th or 27th move-if it hasn't already been used. |

Tal vs Botvinnik, 1960 |

| Jul-09-07 | | Peter Nemenyi: Monday and not a Queen sac! A nice choice. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | TheGadge: Got it! Rxe6. Goodness, I think I'm the first to get today's puzzle. One of the benefits of living in New Zealand is that we'll see the puzzle of the day first, when most of you will still be snoring away. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | TheGadge: Maybe not..oh bollocks! |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | wouldpusher: Being able to solve Monday puzzles temporarily boost my morale after a humiliating defeat in the hands of a Sunday's. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | Peter Nemenyi: If you'd settled for "Got it", you would have been first.... |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | notyetagm: Position after 28 ♖f6xe6+! 1-0
click for larger view28 ♖f6xe6+! is a really =beautiful= tactical blow by Fischer to end the game. The White e6-rook <SKEWERS> the Black e7-king to the Black e8-queen but Black is mated by 29 ♕f3-f6# if he takes the White e6-rook with either his Black e6-king or Black f7-pawn. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | hpavlo: Missed it completely, even though it was "very easy". What a great game by Fischer! |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | notyetagm: <hpavlo: Missed it completely, even though it was "very easy". What a great game by Fischer!> Beautiful game by Fischer. Looks like a model game for how White should play against the Winawer. |

 | | WannaBe: Got it in 0.0000000000005 second, (after I've stared at it for 15 min...) |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | willyfly: not much to say about it 28 ♖xe6+ ♔xe6 29. ♕f6# |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | willyfly: or 28 ♖xe6+ ♔f8 29 ♖xe8+ ♔xe8 30 ♕a8+ ♔e7 31 ♕xh8 ♖c6 32 ♕d8+ ♔e6 33 ♕f6# |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | not yet a patzer: Very easy indeed! Even I got it! No way I would have thought of it pushin' the pieces. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | dzechiel: Took a couple of seconds, but there are only so many forcing moves for white. A pretty ending. |
|
| Jul-09-07 | | MostlyAverageJoe: <willyfly> In your line, 31. ... Rd7 allows the black to delay the mate by a couple of moves. There is a better move after 28. Rxe6 Kf8:
29.Qf6, resulting in this position: 
click for larger view and mate in two. This said, when I solved the puzzle, I also wanted to go for the queen just like you did (well, it is kinda obvious way to establish a crushing advantage). Just goes to show that Lasker was right ("if you see a good move, look for a better one"). |
