| Aug-10-21 | | Whitehat1963: Got this one in about 10 seconds. Monday?s and Tuesday?s puzzles should have been reversed this week. |

 | | NMABQjmgChess: Found this one ok. The idea of deflecting the black king to h8 puts it in the diagonal for the white queen. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Heavy piece sacrifice on the h-file.
Single forced line leading to a quick mate.
Felt like a Monday puzzle to me! |

 | | al wazir: Easy-peasy. *Much* easier than yesterday's. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | goldfarbdj: Agreed! Obvious key move, only one variation. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | agb2002: White has four pawns for a bishop.
Black threatens Rxb2 and Bxh7.
The queen x-rays h8 and the black pawn is defenseless. This suggests 32.Rh8+ Kxh8 33.Qxe5+ and mate in two. Slightly slower is 32.Rag7+ Kf8 33.Qa3+. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | goodevans: I was about to remark on how beautiful a move <28.Nxe5> was when I spotted that it has previously been the subject of a puzzle in 2011 that induced several pages of kibitzing, including from myself! |

 | | piltdown man: Now THAT"S a good pun! |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | stacase: One has to wonder why Black continued after 32.Rh8+ |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | TheaN: <32.Rh8+ Kxh8 33.Qxe5 Qf6 34.Qxf6+ Kg8 35.Qg7#> it didn't even look at Rag7+ which surprisingly enough doesn't even make this puzzle worthy, as it's a simple #5 without sacrifices. I still don't get why players claim yesterday was hard...... it <was a Monday queen sac #2>; no, not the game line as that was considerably slower. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | johnnydeep: Got the full sequence in a literal 5 seconds, after having a hell of a time with yesterday's, where I missed the mate in two but eventually figured out the game line. |

|
| Aug-10-21 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: After long thinking, the very strong Argentine GM and junior world champion Oscar Panno finally found the mate in 4 moves with the nice rook sacrifice 32.Rh8+!,Kxh8 33.Qxe5+,Qf6 (33.-,Kg8 34.Qg7#) 34.Qxf6+,Kg8 35.Qg7#. |

 | | gawain: Very easy--but also very nifty. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: Doesn't R-g7+ followed by Q-a3+ also win? |
|
Aug-10-21
 | | Check It Out: <HMM> it does, but it takes longer and you don't get to brag about your rook sac against the up and comer Spassky. |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | Stanco: yes, but only to get back into the same position after 32....Kh8 33.Rh7 Kg8 (if 33...Bxh7 34 Qe5+) and we are back where we were, black king obviously won't pussy foot around f8 |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | Stanco: otherwise it would be funny line, 32.Rg7+ Kf8 33.Qa3+ Rb4 34.Qxb4+ Rc5 35.Qxc5+ Qd6 36.Qxd6+ Ke8 37.Rg8# |
|
| Aug-10-21 | | Brenin: <TheaN>, <HeMateMe>, <Check It Out>, <Stanco>: I thought i had been the first to point out the alternative mate starting with 32 Rag7+, but <TheaN> posted it on Jun-07-09. |
|
Aug-10-21
 | | Teyss: <Stanco> Re. your first post HMM certainly meant 32.Rag7+ not Rhg7+ upon which 32...Kf8 is forced, followed by the line in your second post. |
|
Aug-11-21
| | Teyss: <Brenin> Apologies, didn't give you credit for finding the 32.Rag7+ solution (again), we posted at the same time. |
|
| Aug-11-21 | | Stanco: Teyss, you're right, I omitted that one. |
