 | | HeMateMe: I recently submitted "Fire on Boris" as a pun, and perhaps a CG employee edited it slightly, to broaden the idea [or, someone submitted a similar pun to mine]. |
|
| Aug-04-14 | | HighestUnrated: Instead of 29....Nxf1 black could have played 29...Qd5 |
|

 | | Zhbugnoimt: If 28...Qd5? 29.Nf6+! Rxf6 30.Qh7+ Kf8 31. Rxf6+ 1-0 |

| Aug-04-14 | | kevin86: Black will be mated quickly. |

| Aug-04-14 | | thegoodanarchist: <morfishine: <thegoodanarchist> Lighten up, <offramp> often offers satirical or sarcastic wit, a levity that is refreshing> The supposed death of over a thousand people is levity? Ok, that's good to know. I've been using the word levity incorrectly, I guess. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | Brenin: 30 Rh8+ Kxh8 31 Nxf7+, or 30 ... Kg7 31 Qh7+ Kf6 32 Qxf7+, winning significant material either way. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | jrredfield: While the obvious 30 Rh8+ Kxh8 31 Nxf7+ wins the Q, I also decided to try 30 Qe4 Re8 31 Rh8+ Kxh8 32 Nxf7+ Kg7 33 Qxd5 Re1 34 Kf2 Ne3 35 Qxg5+ Kxf7 36 Qxf4+, which also should decisively win. If 30 Rh8+ Kg7 then 31 Qh7+ Kf6 32 Qxf7+ Ke5 33 Qg7+ Kxd6 34 Rh6#. At least with 30 ... Kxh8, Black can hold out a bit longer, but why would he want to? 29 ... Qd5 would have given Black a slim chance whereas 29 ... Rd5 handed White the victory. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess this line is enough: 30. Rh8+ Kxh8 31. Nxf7+ Kg8 32. Qxd5 or Kg7 31. Qh7+ Kf6 32. Qxf7+ Ke5 33. Rxa8 Rd1 34. Kf2. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | Brenin: 29 ... Rd5 ws a blunder. Black's only hope was 29 ... Qd5 30 Qxf5 Qxf5 31 Nxf5 Nd2 32 Rg6+ Kf7 33 Rxg5 Kf6 34 h4 Rh8 35 Nd6 Rxh4, with apparent drawing chances, but then 36 Rd5 Nb1 37 Rd3 and the Black N is lost after Ne4+ and Rb3. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Dear <jrredfield> After 29...Qd5 30. Qxf5 Qd4+ 31. Kh1 Ng3+ 32. hxg3 Qd1+ 33. Kh2 fxg3+ 34. Kxg3 Qe1+ 35. Kg4 Qxb4+ 36. Kh5... Therefore, Black must accept the ♕ exchange... 30... Qxf5 31. Nxf5 Ne3 32. Nxe3 fxe3 33. Re6, with 2 ♙ extras. Other possibility is 29...Qd5 (or other similar) 30. Qxf5 Ne3 31. Qh7+ Kf8 32. Rf6+ Qf7 33. Rxf7#. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | Mayankk: Both the Queens are en prise but White has the first-mover advantage. That usually means that if it can capture the opponent Queen with a check or move its own Queen with a check, the game is over. So we have 30 Rh8+ Kxh8 ( 30 ... Kg7 31 Qh7+ is no better) 31 Nxf7+ Kh7 32 Qxd5. Time to resign. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | mel gibson: Very easy - LOL. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | jrredfield: Dear <King.Arthur.Brazil> <Dear <jrredfield> After 29...Qd5 ...>
Granted, this would be a very slim hope for Black, but certainly better than 29...Rd5. 29 ... Qd5 30 Qxf5 31 Nxf5 Nd2 32 Rg6+ Kh7 33 Rg7+ Kh8 34 Rxg5 Nc4. This leaves both sides with a rook and knight. White would have a pawn advantage but would have to parlay it into a successful endgame battle. Certainly the most Black could hope for is a draw. |

 | | perfidious: One even <Ah> could nail down without much reflexion. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | stacase: As played:
30. Rh8+, Kg7
31. Qh7+, 1-0
or 30. Rh8+, Kxh8
31. Nxf7+, 1-0
Should have been:
30. Rh8+, 1-0
But what do I know (-; |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | agb2002: White has a pawn for a rook.
Black threatens Rxd3.
Nxf7 would be check if the black king were on h8. Hence, 30.Rh8+: A) 30... Kxh8 31.Nxf7+ Kg7 32.Qxd5 wins decisive material. B) 30... Kg7 31.Qh7+ Kf6 32.Qxf7+ wins decisive material. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | Chesschronicle22: This was alot easier then I expected, because I've learned piece sacs for queen and king forks stuff, so this puzzle was easy for me |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | saturn2: Both queens under attack but white has Rh8+ and takes it with check after Kh8 or escape by check after Kg7 |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | TheaN: Took me a little while, I was calculating all the mass captures. Of course, always look for better and in this case <30.Rh8+ Kxh8 (Kg7 31.Qh7+ +-) 31.Nxf7+ Kg7 32.Qxd5 Rf8 33.Kxf1 Rxf7 34.Qxg5+ +-> and this is trivial. |
|
| Jul-04-23 | | saturn2: Kind of fun after 30.Rh8 Kg7 is 31.Rh7.Black has 31...Kg8 and now 32.Rh8 leads to the first motif. And if 31.Kf6/8 Rxf7 decides |

| | HeMateMe: Ten seconds. Find a move that allows the white queen to check. |
|
Jul-04-23
 | | jffun1958: 31...Kf6 32. Qxf7+ Ke5 33. Qg7+ Kxd6(e6) 34. Rh6# and pure mate! |
