Aug-19-13 | | mistreaver: Monday. White to play. Very Easy. 30.?
30 Qxg6+ Nxg6
31 Rxg6 mate
Nice and smooth. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | TheFocus: Too easy. One of the easiest puzzles ever. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | zb2cr: Simple. Mate in 2 begins with 30. Qxg6+. |
|
Aug-19-13
 | | FSR: Oh, is it Monday? 30.Qxg6+ looks promising. |
|
Aug-19-13
 | | LIFE Master AJ: 30.QxP/g6+, NxQ/g6; 31.RxN/g6# (mate). |
|
Aug-19-13 | | TheTamale: Coffee + Monday = quick solution. Still, I wonder whether OTB I would just think, "Nope, can't take the pawn; it's covered by his knight." |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 25...Qxa2 was losing move. After 25...Rad8 the fight can continue. |
|

 | | Penguincw: I was thinking of 30.♖g7+ ♔xg7 (30...♔f8 31.♕e7# 1-0) 31.♘f5+ but after 31...♔g8, there is no mate that I can see. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | kevin86: Mate in two beginning with a queen sac. Oh,today IS Monday. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | BOSTER: <Phony Benoni> <I was going to answer <22...Qh3> with <23.Qh6>. After 23.Qg4 black should play 23...Qxg4 24.fxg4 Nf4 25. Nxc5 and white is better. <patzer2> <White play beginning with 25.Rg4! is brilliant>.
Nothing is brilliant here.
After 25...Rd8 white pos. has many weaknesses including a2, f3 and h3.
If white continue with Nd6 black can sacr. Rxd6 27. exd6 Qxd6+.
If white play 26.f4 black can play Rd3. |

 | | gawain: It being a Monday, the queen must fling herself upon the nearest pawn. A nice finish, given an extra fillip by the obscurity of the victor and eminence of the victim. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | patzer2: <Honza Cervenka: 25...Qxa2 was losing move. After 25...Rad8 the fight can continue.> As you reside in the Czech Republic, I was wondering if you have ever met or played Jansa or his opponent Hybl? |
|
Aug-19-13
 | | Phony Benoni: Thanks to <CG Librarian> for quickly correcting White's name, and to <Sastre> for researching the correct version. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | bachbeet: Q sac is even more obvious here because of black's threat at h2. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | NakoSonorense: Anyone else gets the feeling that a lot of people, at least at the patzer level, are a little too eager to go for the en passant move? I would say that eight or nine out of ten times I give opponents the opportunity to make this move they go for it, even if it is not necessarily the best move. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | enpassant jadoube: En passant should always be 1st choice. |
|
Aug-19-13
 | | Phony Benoni: <NakoSonorense> I've noticed that many players of lesser experience tend to capture at almost every opportunity. They may not be able to think of something positive to to, but by Dad Gummy they know their Table of Relative Values of the Pieces! <En passant> has the special double attraction of appearing learned and giving the capturer a chance to show off their French. I fully expect some day to hear an <en passant> accompanied by a hearty "J'Adoube!" But I'm quite serious about the first paragraph. Players often trade pieces simply for the feeling of having accomplished something. A player is improving when they are more careful about their trades. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | Alex56171: 30.Qxg6+ is my move. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | Conrad93: For a beginner this move would be difficult to spot. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | bachbeet: I meant h3. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | ajile: I think Black needs to challenge the center earier with ..e6 as in the Modern Benoni. |
|
Aug-19-13 | | Nullifidian: 30. ♕xg6+ ♘xg6 31. ♖xg6# |
|
Aug-19-13 | | ajax333221: train your board calculations with a force mate after 30.Rg7+ without using any board (just your head) spoilers below:
30.Rg7+ Kxg7 (30...Kf8? 31.Qe7#)
31.Qe7+ Kh6 (30...Kg8? 31.Qf7#)
32.Nf5+ gxf5 (30...Kh5? 31.Qh4#)
33.Qg7+ Kh5
34.Qg5# |
|
Aug-19-13 | | ajax333221: to my last comment, I noted you can swap the last queen moves and works too |

After 25...Rad8 the fight can continue.> As you reside in the Czech Republic, I was wondering if you have ever met or played Jansa or his opponent Hybl?> Vlasta Jansa is my longtime chess club colleague (as well as David Navara) and so I have met him many times. In fact, as a chess coach, he was sometimes giving free lessons to us, common chess patzers, and quite often I could watch him to analyze games from extraleague team matches in the chess club room. But I never played him, nor David Navara, though I have played in the same team with David a few times about ten years ago. For example, I was there when the game A Lacina vs Navara, 2001 was played. Mr. Jaroslav Hybl was an excellent correspondence chess player but I never had the luck to meet or play him. |
