| Jun-12-18 | | Howard: Considering that Stockfish believes that Black's strongest move on move 12 was 12...dxc4, it's rather surprising that the Informant gives Beliavsky's 12..b5 two exclamation marks---not to mention giving it first place (by a hefty margin) in the TN section. |

 | | Penguincw: Happy August.
I also had a good feeling this would be today's puzzle, so looked ahead. 25...d4 26.Bxd4 Rb8 27.Bc3 Rxb2+ 28.Ka1 Rb6 29.g6 Ra6 30.gxf7+ Kxf7 31.Qf4+ Kg8 32.Qd6 Nd4 0-1 There, I can say it now. I solved a Sunday puzzle. |

 | | ChessHigherCat: Recycled, first!
If I remember correctly, the solution is the interference move d4. |
|
Aug-01-18
| | ChessHigherCat: 25. d4 is more than just an interference move, it slices, dices, Bxd4 allows Rb8 as in the game line, exd allows Rxb2 of course, and Rc2 allows Rxe5! I think this was at least a Friday, at least it should have been. |

 | | agb2002: Recycled. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Walter Glattke: I saw this before, only recycled puzzles this week. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | gofer: Hmmm, if this is a new policy for <CG> then I won't have any real reason to visit any more. The POTD is 99% of what I do here and re-cycled puzzles are not worth coming back for... |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: <gofer>
True dat. POTD is the heart of cg. I wish the new administrator realizes this. Especially the nature of the puzzles. As they were outstanding IMO. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | morfishine: <gofer> & <WorstPlayerEver> You understand why, right? |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | malt: Looks familiar 25...d4 26.B:d4 Rb8
If White plays 27.b4 N:b4 |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <morfishine: <gofer> & <WorstPlayerEver> You understand why, right?> I don't think <gofer> does. ATTENTION EVERYONE:
The reason we are getting recycled puzzles is because of the tragic death of Daniel Freeman on July 24th, the chessgames webmaster and cofounder. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Hodor: grand display of fireworks |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | gofer: <thegoodanarchist>: You are right. I didn't know. For nearly 10 years, I have been unknowingly <relying> on POTD's to give some sort of structure to my day (and my week). My post was simply showing my addiction to this site (in its current format)... ...without which I would be, to some degree, lost... R.I.P. Daniel. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Howard: Uhhh.... wasn't this POTD not long ago ?
To be fair, Daniel Freeman's death may have had something to do with this, though. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | jrredfield: Daniel and the other co-founder of CG have both passed (R.I.P. Daniel). My understanding is that a user named SARGON is doing the best possible job to keep the site going with whatever help others can provide. So it will get back on track--just need some patience here. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | messachess: Nice problem. Good difficulty. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | thegoodanarchist: < gofer: <thegoodanarchist>: You are right. I didn't know. For nearly 10 years, I have been unknowingly <relying> on POTD's to give some sort of structure to my day (and my week).> Many of us have been relying on them, <gofer>. I include myself in that statement. POTD is almost as important as the sunrise for me. Equally as important as my morning coffee, and more vital than breakfast. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Noflaps: As great as the POTD is (think Times- crossword level tradition, for some), there are plenty of other good reasons to keep coming to this site, in my own steadfastly humble opinion.
Playing guess the move, or reading the kibitzes from all over the place about most of history's important games, is likely enough to keep me here until I can no longer manage to do anything with chess except to drool on the board. Long Live Chessgames.com. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | wtpy: I know we live in the age of hyperbole, but the potd more important than coffee-- never. Oxygen perhaps. RIP Daniel Freeman. I didn't know him, but he will certainly be missed, |

 | | Breunor: For some reason I always seem to enjoy the games of Beliavsky. |
|
| Aug-01-18 | | Patzer Natmas: My condolences to both families of CG... recycled potd or not, I still would enjoy this site. I normally check out female player games (I feel I understand their games more). |

| Aug-02-18 | | Howard: I understand the above analysis, but what if Black instead plays 12...b5! as in the game. What does Houdini say about that ? |
