 | | al wazir: I went with 15...Rf2+ 16. Kg1 (16. Kh1 Rxh2+) gxh2+. White's ♔ is surrounded by a cordon of enemy troops; something good for black is bound to happen. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Best play as I see it is
15 ... Bh3+
16 Kh1 g2+
17 Kxg2 Bxe1
18 Qxd5+/Bxd5+
Black is ahead the exchange at that point, and also has an ongoing attack. If White accepts the sacrifice, Black forces mate or else overwhelming material advantage, starting with: 15 ... Bh3+
16 Kxh3 Qd7+
The two main lines are:
17 Kg2 Rf2+
18 Kg1/Kh1 Qh3
19 Nf1 Rxf1+
20 Rxf1 Qxh2#
or 17 Kxh4 Rf4+, followed by 18 ... Qg4#
The last try for White is:
17 Bf5 Rxf5
18 Kg4 Rf6+
19 Kh5 Rh6#
Alternate 18th or 19th moves for White either transpose in essence to one of the previous lines, or else leave Black with a massive material advantage. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Oh well; I overlooked that after 17 ... Bxe1, White is in position for a delayed acceptance of the h3 bishop, and hence Black needs to interpolate 17 ... Qd6. Hopefully that was my principal error. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | mel gibson: My computer agreed with 15....Bh3+.
However I tried Rf2+ & it gave a checkmate by move 39 for a black win. The move 15 ....Bh3+ didn't give a checkmate till move 82! (Used DR4 64 bit on i7 quad, 5 seconds per move) |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: <al wazir> The "something good must happen" theory has problems against the threat of Qxd5+, forcing an exchange of queens. White also has pretty good numbers defending f1, as well as the h1 long diagonal. Hence the alternative of Bh3+, which in one main line serves to replace the bishop with the queen for added attacking firepower. |

| Jan-18-14 | | patzer2: <al wazir: I went with 15...Rf2+ 16. Kg1 (16. Kh1 Rxh2+) gxh2+. White's K is surrounded by a cordon of enemy troops; something good for black is bound to happen.> So did I. Frtiz 12 indicates both 15...Rf2+ and 15...Bh3+! are winning, with 15...Rf2+ being slightly stronger. Fritz's best line goes 15... Rf2+ 16. Kg1 (16. Kh1 Qf6! 17. Qxd5+ Kh8 18. Bg2 Bh3 19. Rf1 Bxg2+ 20. Qxg2 Rxg2 21. Rxf6 Rxh2+ 22. Kg1 Bxf6  ) 16... Kh8! (surprisingly stronger than our 16...gxh2+ ) 17. Qxd5 Qf6! 18. hxg3 Bxg3 19. Nf3 Bxf3 20. Bxf3 Rxf3 (-9.6 @ 20 depth on a dual core 2.1 GHZ Intel processor). |

Qxd5 Qf6! , the exchange of Queens is avoided and Black has sufficient pieces in play for a decisive attack on the exposed White King. |

| Jan-18-14 | | morfishine: This one was hard for me to evaluate other than 15...gxh2 oddly seems stronger than the immediate check 15...Rf2+ (1) <15...gxh2> 16.Bxd5+ Kh8 17.Rh1 Qf6 18.Ne4 Qf3+ 19.Kxh2 Qe2+ 20.Kg1 Rf1# (2) <15...Rf2+> 16.Kg1 gxh2+ (not 15...Rxh2 17.Bxd5+ Kh8 18.Qxb7 Rb8 19.Qxc6 Qf8 20.Bf3) 17.Kh1 Qf6 18.Bxd5+ Kh8 19.Qxb7 Rf8 20.Qxc6 Qf4 *****
PM: I looked briefly at 15...Bh3+ but thought it was unnecessary; Lobo makes it look so smooth and easy ***** |

 | | Penguincw: Ouch. Wrong move order. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | PJs Studio: This is a difficult to see king hunting example. Frustrated me. Most can't see that Bishop sacrifice only clears the line for the queen to use the diagonal with tempo. 15 ... Bh3+ 16 Kxh3 Qd7+ 17 Kg2 Rf2+ 18 Kh1 Qh3 19 Nf1 Rxf1+ 20 Rxf1 and mate next. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | RandomVisitor: White was doing ok up until 10...0-0 when perhaps something like 11.Nbd2 would prevent the immediate black attack. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | RandomVisitor: 15...Kh8 also seems to work:
[-3.73] d=18 15...Kh8 16.Qxd5 Rf2+ 17.Kh1 Rxh2+ 18.Kg1 Qf6 19.Bf3 Rf8 20.Qe4 h5 21.Rf1 Rf2 |
|

 | | agb2002: Black has two pawns for a knight.
White threatens 16.B(Q)xd5+.
Black can try to incorporate the queen into the attack with tempo with 15... Bh3+: A) 16.Kxh3 Qd7+
A.1) 17.Kxh4 Rf4+ and 18... Qg4#.
A.2) 17.Kg2 Rf2+ 18.Kg(h)1 Qh3 and mate soon, for example 19.Nf1 Rxf1+ 20.Rxf1 Qxh2#. A.3) 17.Bf5+ Qxf5+
A.3.a) 18.Kg2 Qf2+ 19.Kh3 Qxh2+ 20.Kg4 h5+ 21.Kxh5 Be7+ and mate next. A.3.b) 18.Kxh4 g5+ 19.Kxg3 (19.Kh5 Qh3+ 20.Kxg5 Rf5#) 19... Qf2+ 20.Kh3 (20.Kg4 Qh4#) 20... Qh4+ 21.Kg2 Rf2+ and 22.Qxh2#. B) 16.Kh1 g2+ 17.Bxg2 (17.Kg1 Bf2#) 17... Bxg2+
B.1) 18.Kxg2 Qg5+ followed by 19... Bxe1 - + [R+P vs N] and attack. B.2) 18.Kg1 Bxe1 19.Kxg2 Rf2+ followed by Qg5 looks winning. C) 16.Kg1 gxh2+ 17.Kxh2 (17.Kh1 Bxe1 - +) 17... Qd6+ 18.Kh1 (18.Kxh3 Qg3#; 18.Kg1 Qg3+ 19.Kh1 Qxe1+ 20.Kh2 Qg3+ 21.Kh1 Rf2 - +) 18... Bxe1 - + [R+2P vs N]. -----
The alternative 15... Rf2+ 16.Kg1 gxh2+ 17.Kh1 looks much weaker. |
|
Jan-18-14
 | | Jimfromprovidence: I think that 15...Qf6 might also work, seeing 16 Rf1 Qh6.
click for larger viewThe threat is 17...Bg5, seeing 18...Qxh2#.
I'm still working on it. |

|
| Jan-18-14 | | Patriot: Material: White is down 2 pawns for a piece. Black has an aggressive attack while half of white's pieces have never moved. White may be threatening 16.Qxd5+ in order to trade off the most potentially dangerous piece. Here, I would play 15...Rf2+ without much thought in a short time control. 16.Kh1 Rxh2+ 17.Kg1 Qf6 or 16.Kg1 gxh2+ 17.Kh1 Qf6. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | mel gibson: I did some extra processing:
15.... Bh3+ gives a score of +4.57 for black.
15.... Rf2+ gives a score of +7.72.
Depth 18 287,668,633 board positions.
Took 10 minutes on my i7 quad core.
15....Rf2+ was my choice which I saw in under 5 seconds.
It looked more logical -
a Rook right in the face of the King
& a Pawn to threaten a new Queen. |
|
| Jan-18-14 | | JG27Pyth: That's quite an attacking game, sheesh... |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: <mel> Despite your computations, I would suggest that - while both moves will win - the correct one is 15...Bh3+!! I definitely prefer that one. Chess should NOT just be about computer-driven observations only ... things like content, beauty, and chess artistry should mean something as well. (ALSO - it is one MONSTER of a shocking and a surprising move!!!!!!!) |

| Apr-19-14 | | john barleycorn: When this game was played
11.Nbd2! Kh8 12.h3! was known from
Karpov vs Korchnoi, 1974
In fact, the following position with black to move
is pretty standard since 1889:
click for larger view/ One continuation was: black used to move Kh8 and white took on b7. See: Gunsberg vs Max Weiss, 1889
Showalter vs Pillsbury, 1904
In Capablanca vs B Kostic, 1919
Capablanca played 12.Nf1 and commented:
<I could not quite make up my mind as to whether I should play QxKtP and risk the attack to which I thought there would be a good defence, or to play as I did, Kt-B, which also subjected me to an attack, but of a different sort, and where my opponent would not have the benefit of his extraordinary memory...> After 12....Qd7 he wrote:
<The only way to continue the attack would be: 12...BxKt 13.gf3 Nxf2 14. KxNf2 Bh4+ 15.Ng3 f4> Interesting, isn't it? |
