| Apr-28-06 | | YouRang: <azchess> On the other hand, Black can improve with 39. Qh6+ Kg8 40. Ra7 Rxd6 41. Ra8+ <Rd8>. After exchanging rooks, White can take the g6 pawn (with check) and then the a6 pawn. White is better, but only by a pawn... |
|
| Apr-28-06 | | YouRang: <Open Defence> But after 41...Re6, I think 42. Ra8+ will be mate shortly. |

 | | Richard Taylor: I solved this - I found the key move immediately it is clear that White is winning - Black needed to do better against the English varition of the Najdorf - someone played f3 v me and I got a good game by getting d5 in... The combination played was excellent by White and also his overall attack was instructive. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: White wants to divert Black's queen and, surprisingly, the forceful 39 Rf7+ diversion actually works! I'll confess, however, to not having worked through every nuance of avoiding perpetual check. :) |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | agb2002: Black threatens Rxd6.
White can simplify the position with 39.Rf7+ Qxf7 40.Qh8+ Qg8 41.Qf6+ Qf7 (41... Ke8 42.Qe7#) 42.Qxd8+: A) 42... Kg7 43.Qc7
A.1) 43... Qxc7 44.Qxc7 and 45.c8=Q wins.
A.2) 43... Kf8 44.d7 followed by d8=Q.
A.3) 43... c3 44.d7 Qf1+ 45.Ka2 Qf7+ 46.b3 Qf2 47.d8=Q+ Kh6 48.Qxe3 wins. B) 42... Qe8 43.Qc7 as above (43... Qa8 44.d7 Ke7 45.d8=Q+ wins). |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | ndg2: I started with the right idea 39.Tf7, but couldn't make it work after 41..Qe8, because I couldn't imagine how forcing 43.Qc7 already is. Pawn d6 is unstoppable and will queen. There's no perpetual and no black queen/king combo can interfere and block the white d pawn. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Walter Glattke: Petite combinaison with rook change, forces d-pawn transformation. 37.-Rxd6 38.Qh7+ Kf8 39.Rb7 Rd1+ 40.Ka2 Qf6 I am not sure, whether 37.-c4 is a blunder. |

it seems simple once you're shown.

39...Qxf7 40. Qh8+ Qg8 (Ke8 41.Qe7 mate) 41. Qf6+ Qf7 42. Qxd8+ Kg7 and the advanced free pawn decides for example 43. d7 Qf8 44. Qc8 |

 | | woldsmandriffield: 39 Rd7 is also very strong. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | GlennOliver: If today's puzzle was "Medium / Easy" then I despair for my game. Not only is White's key winning move 39. Rf7 entirely counter-intuitive to a lesser player. The seemingly natural White consolidation move 45. c3 cedes the draw - 45. c3 Qe1+ 46. Ka2 Qd1 etc. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | GlennOliver: I mean playing the natural but mistaken move 45. c3 rather than Mamedov's correct winning move of 45. Qc8 |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | goodevans: <Walter Glattke: [...] I am not sure, whether 37.-c4 is a blunder.> Depriving his own Q of the c4 square certainly hampered black's defence so I would say it was. Imagine the same combo if instead he'd played <37...a5>. After <38.Qh7+ Kf8 39.Rf7+ Qxf7 40.Qh8+ Qg8 41.Qf6+ Qf7 42.Qxd8+ Qe8> we reach this position. 
click for larger viewIf white now tries <43.Qc7> as in the game then black has <43...Qe1+ 44.Ka2 Qe2> 
click for larger view... and the threat of repetition with <45...Qc4+ 46.Kb1 Qf1+> prevents white making any further progress. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | TheaN: What a forcing show of deflections here. Pretty unique queen maneuver; after <39.Rf7+! Qxf7 40.Qh8+ Qg8 41.Qf6+ Qf7 (Ke8 42.Qe7#) 42.Qxd8+ Qe8 (Kg7 43.Qc7 +-)> the queens have 'danced' around the short diagonals and the f-file, essentially just trading rooks. The key is that it's White to move in a favorable position. Initially I thought White could force the 'dance' back with 43.Qf6+? Qf7? (if Black plays it methodologically) 44.Qh8+ Qg8 45.Qxg8+! +- and the d-pawn wins it. However, after 43....Kg8 White is tempos short to bring the d-pawn home, and 44.d7?! Qxd7 45.Qxg6+ with 46.Qxa6 ⩲ is unlikely enough for the win. However, then you notice the simple <43.Qc7 +-> and you realize Black's helpless against the d-pawn because the king's cut off. Everything that follows is just technique and avoiding the perpetual. |

 | | chrisowen: The winding road nah? |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | laskereshevsky: See quite easily the line Rf7+/Qh8+/Qf6+/Qxd8+, but here on the 2 possible B's defences (Qe8/Kg7) took me a quite long tought to see Qc7... |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Momentum Man: I found all the moves through 42.Qxd8+
I am ok with this |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: After long pondering, my old Azeri friend Rauf, who was just 13 years young, when the game was played, finally found 39.Rf7+!,Qxf7 40.Qh8+,Qg8 41.Qf6+,Qf7 42.Qxd8+,Qe8 (42.-,Kg7 43.Qc7! +-), but should have continued 43.Qc7! +-. In both cases, white will get a second queen. |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | AlicesKnight: Found the right line; after regaining the R White will queen the P and the question is how Black will prolong things. |

| | samvega: Witty combination. Put a smile on my face. |

 | | gawain: Very instructive puzzle. (No, I did not get it.) |
|
| Jan-22-20 | | saturn2: <goodevens> After <37...a5 instead of c4> black could be lost anyway if white apllies the game combo 38. Qh7+ Kf8 39. Rf7+ Qxf7 40. Qh8+ Qg841. Qf6+ -
Qf7 42. Qxd8+ Qe8
<by 43.Qxa5 instead of Qc7> Kf7 (Qd7 44. Qc7 Ke8)
44. Qc7+ Ke6 45. Qxc5
I dont see a good move 37 for black but it is not a Stockfish analysis. |
|

 | | Check It Out: This combination made a lot more sense on second look. |
|
| Jan-23-20 | | goodevans: <saturn2: [...] I dont see a good move 37 for black...> White is definitely better in this position whatever black plays. My point (or, to give credit where it's due, <Walter Glattke>'s point) was that <37...c4?> turned the position from bad to completely lost. Against your suggested <43.Qxa5> I would again threaten perpetual with <43...Qe2>. White may still win from there but there's work to do. |
