Dec-28-20		al wazir: Or 38. Be7+ Kf4 (38...g5 39. Qxg5#) 39. g3#.

Dec-28-20		drollere: you guys are too smart. i looked at this, and thought "hey! i can win the Q!" 36. Rh6+ gxh6, 37. Qxh6+ Kf7, 38. Qh7+ Kf8, 39. Qxd7 Bxf4+, 40. g3 Rh1+, 41. Kg2 Rdg1+, 42. Kf2 Bxg3+, 43. Kf3 this is my motto: never cut short a game while there is still brandy in the snifter.

Dec-28-20		Walter Glattke: #3: 36.Bg5+ Kf5 37.Be7+ Kf4 38.Rf8/Qg4/g3#

Dec-28-20		stacase: Silly me! I saw the Rook sacrifice and I expected 37.Be5# but 37.Bg5+ was played and it wasn't 37.Bg5# because I failed to notice that either way White's Bishop blocked the Rook or Queen from covering e6 or f5 respectively. I'm going to partly blame the Google ads at the bottom of the screen (new sometime in Dec 2020) that covered the [>>] & [+] buttons. I managed to hit one inadvertently and saw 36...Bxf8 before I took a good look at the puzzle. I was thinking that was the last move and then Black tipped his King. People on other web sites are crabbing about the new bottom center Google ads covering up content.

Dec-28-20		al wazir: My idea was 36. Be5+ Bxe5+ 37. Qxe5+ Kg6 38. Qh5+ Kf6 39. Rf8+ Qf7 40. Rxf7# If 36...Ke6, then 37. Qxe5+ Kf7 (37...Kd5 38. Qxd7) 38. Qh5+ Kf6 39. Rf8+ Qf7 40. Rxf7# or 37. Qg4+ Ke7 38. Qxg7+ Ke6 39. Rh6+ Kd5 40. Qxd7. But as usual, the line played in the game was better.

Dec-28-20		Nullifidian: 36. ♖f8+, a sacrifice to unpin the bishop. It has to be accepted because all the squares around the king are covered. So, 36... ♗xf8 37. ♗g5+ ♔f5 ▢ 38. ♙g4#

Dec-28-20		FSR: OK, this looks a little more like a Monday than Beliavsky-Larsen did. I'm going for 36.Rf8+! Bxf8 37.Bg5+ Kf5 38.g4#.

Dec-28-20		Hercdon: So many moves work here including Be5+

Dec-28-20		agb2002: White is a pawn down. Black threatens Bxf4+. The black bishop prevents Bg5+ and g4#. Hence, 36.Rf8+.

Dec-28-20		groog: stacase, agree with you 100%. These ads are annoying and really pi..me off. Hey those who run chessgames.com get a grip. bog off with the numerous ads

Dec-28-20		Walter Glattke: Ah, 36.Bg5 bot possible by check, bad luck for me!

Dec-28-20		thegoodanarchist: Lukez like checkmate to me.

Dec-28-20		morfishine: Black was bound to lose with his king Hebden like that

Dec-28-20		TheaN: The game line's somewhat obvious after you notice the bishop is pinned. It's interesting that after 36....Qf7 White has three different mates, given the Black queen takes away the most critical escape square. In the spirit of the holidays, of these three 37.Qg5# is the most peaceful, as we're only viciously murdering the Black king.

Dec-28-20		chrisowen: Rooks clopped it ivory rf8+ gotcha axiom clutch jacked it aghast quosh ivory rooks clopped it so vite ivory with baroque game ha feud journey its local ivory icer mans ivory bud hit totup feel like general ducks o chinny rf8+ ditch;

Dec-28-20		zb2cr: If the White Bishop on f4 was not pinned, Bg5+ would be mate in two. No sooner looked for, than available, a means to deflect comes to mind: 36. Rf8+. Clearly, Black must take, as 36. ... Qf7?? allows 37. Qxf7#. But after 36. ... Bxf8; 37. Bg5+, Kf5; 38. g4#.

Dec-28-20		Damenlaeuferbauer: After long thinking, the unknown (at least to me) Swedish FM Franko Lukez finally found the mate in 3 moves with the nice rook sacrifice 36.Rf8+!,Bxf8 (36.-,Qf7 37.Qxf7/Rxf7#) 37.Bg5+,Kf5 38.g4# against the famous English GM (then IM) Mark Hebden.

Dec-28-20		DrGridlock: < Walter Glattke: #3: 36.Bg5+ Kf5 37.Be7+ Kf4 38.Rf8/Qg4/g3#> Are you at all dis-suaded in your solution that 36 Bg5+ is not a legal move?

Dec-28-20		RandomVisitor: Black has a nice trick at move 31 to salvage a draw. Instead of 31...Rff1 - which loses - black could have tried 31...Rh1+! click for larger view Stockfish_20122510_x64_modern: <60/49 06:23 0.00 31...Rh1+ 32.Kg3> Qc6 33.Qh4 Qg6+ 34.Rg5 Qc6 35.Rd2 Qe6 36.Rd8 Qe7 37.Rxf8+ Rxf8 38.Rxg7+ Qxg7+ 39.Bxg7 Kxg7 40.Qg5+ Kh8 41.Qe7 Rhf1 The computer plays 32.Kg3 because 32.Kxh1 Qd1+ forks the rook on e2 and leaves white short of material to continue the attack.

Dec-28-20		lost in space: 36.Rf8+ Bxf8 37.Bg5+ Kf5 38.g4#.

Dec-28-20		gawain: Tricky for a Monday. I did not notice that the White bishop was pinned. Therefore I did not look for a deflection to unpin it. I am ending 2020 with a dull thud.

Dec-28-20		drollere: there are several ad blockers available, and some of them are free if you want to try out the experience. google ads record your system profile and then can track you on the web wherever any page asset (such as that innocuous seeming google icon) is served from any google owned or contracted domain. they track your gmail, too. users on this page are being tracked by google and by facebook. the front page is also tracked by twitter. most users understand why sites prefer that users not use ad blockers. i think sites need to understand why many users find ad networks repugnant.

Dec-28-20		Pedro Fernandez: Easy! 1 minute it is more than enough.
