Feb-21-07 | | zb2cr: Saw this in a short time. Surprising that this was a postal game. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | Cannon Fodder: <micartouse>
Me too. Aarrgh! ... Now I have to write 500 times on the blackboard, "I will evaluate every check and capture before making a move." I kept looking for ways to deflect the d7 rook. Oh brother. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | Cannon Fodder: <YouRang: That's the great thing about back-rank mates: It doesn't take much material to mate, meaning that you can sacrifice quite a lot in order to set it up. Good puzzle.> Yes. After seeing that I would be down a rook as well as a bishop, I stopped looking and didn't see mate in one right under my nose. Weak. |

 | | fm avari viraf: Why can't one see such a combination in a corr. game when one has so much time to analyse? Anyway, it's a nice problem. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | bakuazer: got it in a half minute. beautiful puzzle!
|
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: An obvious combination that contains typical mating construction.I saw it immediately.Anyway,it's a nice finish of well-played game. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: The point is not that the opponent can't see the combination.This combination is result of all the efforts that white had made in the game.Black is just lost. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: If not 28...Qb2 then white will play 29.Qxe5 and winning. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: I think that if 28...Qa6 then 29.Qxe5 Qxa2 30.Ra1 is good enough for win. |

 | | al wazir: <Fisheremon>: Thanks. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | Fisheremon: <nsppp: I think that if 28...Qa6 then 29.Qxe5 Qxa2 30.Ra1 is good enough for win.> 29...b6. |

 | | playground player: The pawn at d6 is the key to the whole business for White. It controls the Black King's only escape square. I wonder how secure Black felt before 29. Bxa7+. Some may say this was an easy puzzle (it must be, if I solved it), but I wouldn't have gotten it a few months ago. Thanks for the teaching, CG! |
|
Feb-21-07 | | MindlessOne: I like this, saw it instantly bxa7 was the first move I looked at. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | Bob726: Dang! i missed rc8 |
|
Feb-21-07 | | Themofro: Got this one immediately, the bishop sac is obviuos but Rc8+ is a bit harder to find, nice finish. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: OK,it's not that simple;29...b6 looks good for black but I have the feeling white is standing better |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: Maybe instead 29.Qxe5 white must play 29.Qc3. |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: Black is a pawn up but white's initiative |
|
Feb-21-07 | | nsppp: looks very dangerous |
|
Feb-21-07 | | outplayer: it took almost 10 min. but i have calculated a 4-move combinarion till the end!! |
|
Feb-21-07 | | mrknightly: I got the puzzle, but why did Black decline the rook at move 17 and 0-0-0 instead? |
|
Feb-21-07
 | | WannaBe: <mrknightly> Because after NxR white plays Rd1! =) |
|
Feb-21-07 | | mrknightly: <WannaBe> Thanks. |
|
Oct-09-11 | | whiteshark: Better would have been <20... Rxd1+ 21.Rxd1 Rd8 22. Re1 f5 23.f3 Nf6>  click for larger view and black is better due to the weako on c5 and the center pawn majority. |
|
Jun-14-18 | | Ironmanth: Wow! Great attacking game. |
