  takebackok: Easy peasy like Wednesday, after 24...Bxg2 and Bxh2 coming soon with three passers it's gg.
May-07-25  King.Arthur.Brazil: The king saw this sacrifice is powerful since W couldn't stop the B♙ to promote. 24...Bxg2 25. Nxf5 Kxf5 26. Rhg1 f3 27. Rae1 Rxe1 28. Kxe1 Bxh2 29. Kf2 Bxg1+ etc.
May-07-25  Walter Glattke: 24.-f3 2-B-mate a) 25.Nxf5 Bf4+ 26.Kd1 fxg2 27.Rg1 Bf3#/27.Bd2 gxh1Q+ mate next b) 25.Nxf3 Rxf3 26.Kc1 (26.gxf3 Bxf4+ 27.Kd1 Bxf3#) Rf2 28. Rd1 R8e2 29.Rd2!? Ba3+ mate next c) 25. Nxc6 Bf4+ 26.Kd1 fxg2 27. Rg1 Bxh2 28.Bd5 Rf1+ 29.Kd2 Bxg1 30.Ne5+ Kh5 31.Bxg1 Rxh1 wins d) 25.g3 Re2+ 26. Kd1 Bd5 27.Rf1 Rxh2 28. N+f5 +- ?!!? not easy yet
May-07-25  mel gibson: I chose 24. .. Rfe5.

Stockfish 17 follows the game text and says:

24. .. Bxg2

(24. .. Bxg2 (1. ... Bxg2 2.Rhe1 Rfe5 3.Rxe5 Rxe5 4.b4 f3 5.Nxf3 Re8 6.Ne5+ Bxe5 7.Bxe5 Rxe5 8.d4 Rf5 9.a4 Rf2+ 10.Kd3 Bh3 11.c4 Rxh2 12.d5 Bf5+ 13.Ke3 Rh4 14.c5 Re4+ ) +6.44/42 504)

score for Black +6.44 depth 42.

If I force SF to play my choice it's weaker:

24. .. Rfe5

(24. .. Rfe5 25. Rhg1 (1.Rhg1 Bc5 2.Rae1 Rxe1 3.Rxe1 Rxe1 4.Kxe1 Bxg2 5.Ne2 Bd6 6.Kf2 Bh3 7.Bh8 Bd7 8.Nc3 f3 9.Kg1 f2+ 10.Kxf2 Bxh2 11.Bd4 a6 12.Be3 Bf5 13.Nd5 Bd6 14.Ba7 Be6 ) -4.67/41 452)

score for White -4.67 depth 41.

  al wazir: <27. Rxg2 fxg2 28. Rg1>. Now what?

White is down one pawn, either now or after 28...Bxh2 29. Rxg2 Bf4+ 30. Kd1, and the two connected king-side passed pawns give black good winning chances.

But as white I would play on a few more moves.

May-07-25  vajeer: <al wazir: <27. Rxg2 fxg2 28. Rg1>. Now what?> I am thinking 28...Kg4 28....Kg4 29. Rxg2+ Kf3 30. Rg1 Re2+ 31. Kd1 Bxh2

This looks crushing to me. White is totally paralyzed. Eval by engine - 5.52

May-07-25  Walter Glattke: I reached a draw with wKg2-h1-g2 bPg3-Ph2 -stale mate with bKf3 or 50-moves-perpetual
May-07-25  Walter Glattke: Ah, 1.Kg4 Kg2 2.h1Q+ Kxh1 3.Kh3 Kg1 mating

  Check It Out: I went with 24...f3 and got lost in the complications. Its an okay move, but no solve for me today.

  perfidious: This seems more in the nature of a practical game than of a slambang POTD with a forcing solution; I plumped for 24....Bxg2 after analysing a few lines and concluding that Black has all the play.
