Apr-13-21 | | Walter Glattke: White threatens mate in one, therefore 34.-Rxb1+!? 35.Kxb1 Qa1+ 36.Kd2 Rd8+ 37.Kd3 Bc5+ 38.Kd2 Qxb2+ 39.Rd2 Rxd2+ 40.Qxd2 Qxd2+ 41.Kxd2 Kxg7 +-
The both Czech IM play 34.-Qxb2+ 35.Kxb2 R8b2+ 36. Kc1 Ba3#
Interesting defense idea as training was 34.-fxg6 35.Qh8+ Kf7 36.Bh5 Rxb1+ 37.Kxb1 Bxh1 38.Rc1+Bf6 39.Bxg6+ Kxg6 40.g8Q+ Rxg8 41.Qxg8+ Bg7 42.Rxh1-+ |

Apr-13-21 | | drollere: i went for 34. .. Qxb2+, 35. Kxb2 R8a2+, 36. Kc1 Ba3#. i spent most of my 1 minute inspection time puzzling whether fxg6 would let black escape the threatened mate. it doesn't. |

 | | Breunor: Took me a while, looked at so many lines, but finally got it. But I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been told black to play and win. |
|
Apr-13-21 | | Brenin: 34... Qxb2+ was not hard to see, once I had rejected Rxb1+. Clearly 34 Qxh6 was a blunder, but White was lost anyway, e.g. 34 gxf7+ Kxg7 35 Rhg1+ Kh7 36 Qe2 Qa2 37 Qc2 Ba4, winning significant material. |

Apr-13-21 | | Nullifidian: 34... ♕xb2+ 35. ♔xb2 ♖8a2+ 36. ♔c1 ♗a3# (the knight is pinned) |
|
Apr-13-21 | | AlicesKnight: 34. ... Qxb2+; 35.Kxb2 R8a2+ forcing mate - just in time. Did White miss the Q sac or the bishop's final move utilising the pin? |
|
Apr-13-21 | | lost in space: 34... Qxb2+ 35. Kxb2 R8a2 Mate |
|
Apr-13-21 | | TheaN: This was as obscure for me as it was 13 years ago, I guess that's just personal recognition. I did eventually see the entire line again, so that's at least something. What also baffles me is why a Monday in 2008 is a Tuesday in 2021... did we regress? Unlikely :>. |

|
Apr-13-21 | | 1g1yy: My first thought at this was a different line starting with 34...Qxc3+ 35. bxc3 Ba3+ but it fails... With as often as I miscalculate flight squares, I try to avoid Q sacs when possible. :D |
