| Feb-20-21 | | TheBish: <Brenin: I love Mondays, especially recycled ones. Shouldn't this puzzle start with Black's 25th move?> That would make sense. It's still a little close to the previous "broadcast," but not too many people would catch that. |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | mel gibson: This must be a recycled Monday puzzle. |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | ndg2: I don't mind it when the puzzles break the traditional cycle from very easy (Monday) to increasingly more difficult throughout the week. What I do mind though is when a very easy "Monday" puzzle is miscategorzed as a very difficult "Saturday" puzzle. What happened to chessgames.com? There is sloppyness all over the place. |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | goodevans: With a lame GOTD and this recycling error today is not CG.com's finest moment. |

| Feb-20-21 | | Whitehat1963: Saturday? |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | awfulhangover: Easier than this weeks´s Monday, at least for my brain. |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | saturn2: Has the puzzle poster a religion with saturday as first day of the week? |

Phony Benoni is collecting the POTD's for this year. Game Collection: Puzzle of the Day 2021 He already has this one from the 18th Jan this year (it was a Monday puzzle) I wonder what he will do in this case. *** |

| Feb-20-21 | | RandomVisitor: By move 15 white was doing well. A collapse began at this point leading to the pawn break 17...e5 and black beginning to seize the initiative. After 14...Nf5:

|
| Feb-20-21 | | goodevans: Thanks <agb2002> for the more appropriate Saturday puzzle.
I don't know if you're aware but if you add "&m=23" to the game URL then it will take you directly to the puzzle position, like this: M Sisniega vs Illescas Cordoba, 1988 For puzzles with black to move you can add a further ".5" to the URL. |

| | chrisowen: T on good boy no? |
|
| Feb-20-21 | | RandomVisitor: 4.Qd3 is perhaps a move to take the opponent out of the opening book, and black responds with 4...Nc6, perhaps to likewise take white out of prepared lines. At this point, 5.e5 looks best:

 | | Phony Benoni: <Sally S8impson>: This is a recurring glitch, which sometimes happens several days in a row. I've already sent a note to the <Chessgaes.com> forum: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #35226) Sometimes doing this results in a change, sometimes not. When it is not changed there is a problem, since a game can only appear once in a collection, so I'll just add the second date as part of the note to the first occurrence. |

I'll take it into account from now on. |

| Feb-20-21 | | QueenMe: Yeah, somebody goofed. There's even dialogue on p.1 discussing it as a previous Monday puzzle. From move 28.5, the only promising/salient move (...Ng3) leads directly to mate. Black has little choice but to capture the night, but that opens the file and brings Black's rook into the game without even having to move it, permanently supporting the queen thereafter. Checkmate at F2 follows regardless of whether the knight is captured or not. |

| Feb-20-21 | | sophiephilo: too easy. Not fair. |

Hi Phony Benoni,
<"This is a recurring glitch, which sometimes happens several days in a row. I've already sent a note to the <Chessgaes.com> forum."> I figured it was some kind of glitch - why not send them the same note for several days in a row. *** |
