 | | Penguincw: Double rook sacrifice asking for too much. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | mel gibson: Checked with Deep Rybka4.
Black made the bad move on 32...Rxa5.
Should've moved 32...Kg6
to protect the h5 square from the white Queen.
The King has to protect himself against
the mating force of a minor piece & a Queen.
32...Kg6 ends in a draw. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | Ultra: I actually got this one.
:-) |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | PJs Studio: I've been coping out on these Saturday and Sunday puzzles lately. Just enjoying the view. This was a particularly pretty finish. I thought incorrectly that 39.Rb8+ was the move (forcing Bg8) but after 40.Qxf6 Rg7 white still has 41. Rb7, so i guess white can still win it. I respect this wicked attack more so because whites Queen and rook attacking squares ALSO COVER ALL OF BLACKS RETURN DEFENSIVE SQUARES. A very "fast" attack. Impressive confidence in whites calculation. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | Patriot: Black has the bishop pair.
Two candidates were of main interest to me: Qe8, Nxh6. 36.Nxh6 seems stronger.
36...Bxh6 37.Rh8+ Kxh8 38.Qxh6+ Rh7 39.Rb8+ Bg8 40.Qxf6+ Rg7 41.h5 looks like it should win. Otherwise, white could go for a draw with 41.Qh6+ Rh7 42.Qf6+. ------------------
The game line is certainly much better. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | Patriot: <morf> You may have missed this only because <but Black is a piece ahead so can give back some material>. I read that and thought "What?! I miscounted the pieces again??". I had to go back and do a re-count. :-) There are several winning moves and 36.Qe8 is one of them. I couldn't seem to find a killer move in the line I went with but it's there: 36.Nxh6 Bxh6 37.Rh8+ Kxh8 38.Qxh6+ Rh7 39.Rb8+ Bg8 40.Qxf6+ Rg7 41.Qh6+ Rh7 42.Qe6! Rg7 43.Rxg7+! I missed the simple pin and win in the game line or even in my line with 41.Rb7. |

 | | agb2002: White has a bishop and a knight for the bishop pair. The first idea that comes to mind is 36.Qe8, threatening 37.Qxe6 and 37.Qxf8: A) 36... Bxf5 37.exf5
A.1) 37... Bd6(e7,g7) 38.Qg8#.
A.2) 37... Kg7(8) 38.Qxd7 + -.
B) 36... Be7 37.Qh8+ Kg6 38.Qxh6+ Kf7 39.Qh7#.
C) 36... Bxc4 37.Qxf8 Qxf8 38.Rxf8 Bxa7 39.Rbb8
C.1) 39... d3 40.Rh8+ Kg6 41.Rxh6+ Kf7 42.Rh7+ Kg6 (42... Ke6 43.Re8+ Re7 44.Re(h)xe7#) 43.Rxd7 + -. C.2) 39... Kg6 40.Rh8 gxh4 (40... Rh7 41.h5+ and 42.Rxh7) 41.Rxh6+ Kg5 (41... Kf7 42.Rh7+ as in C.1) 42.Bxh4+ Kf4 (42... Kg4 43.f3+ Kf4 44.Kf2 and 45.g3#) 43.Rg6 and 44.Bg3#. |
|

| | agb2002: Houdini 2.0 evaluates 36.Qe8 at +9 and 36.Nxh6 at +15. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | Poulsen: In fact I saw this fast - after briefly considering Rxf8 - the key move is off course Rh8+ -and the white queen enters the Black camp. I did not bother to calculate after that. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | stst: looks easy, but may miss some escapes for Black:
36.Nxh6 BxN
37.Rh8+ KxR
38.QxB+ Kg8
39.Rb8+ Kf7 (or Qf8 then RxR#)
40.Qh7#
will check later... |

|
| Feb-02-14 | | stst: essentially got the thing, only that later the variation goes alternate route. 36 Qe8 wont work, as no penetration, nor separating the Black pieces, could be accomplished. |
|
| Feb-02-14 | | stst: BTW I got the right Super Bowl pick, as before I was one point down, then I was forced to pick the Hawks mathematically in order to have a chance coming back up, and it did the job!!
Like horse racing, remember the Triple Crown hopeful - Big Brown? The Broncos behaved exactly like that!!! |

Dear Chris,
can you write using correct English grammar please.
Your sentences are meaningless |
|
| Feb-04-14 | | Poulsen: @mel gibson - all his posts are like that. Its some sort of slang combined with horrible grammar - but I guess it makes perfectly sense to him. He is literally writing as he speaks - I suspect.
Off course he could also be having a laugh ....
I tried to put the text into a translator, but no translator available allows you to translate english - into english. |

User: greystripe. |
|
Feb-04-14
| | OhioChessFan: I have been wavering the past week on deciding if <Greystripe> is just disturbed or if it's a really unfunny attempt to rip off <chrisowens> |
|
Feb-04-14
| | offramp: I would guess that <Greystripe> was about 15-years-of-age but there is NO WAY that <chrisowen> is anywhere over 12 years of age. No way. And <chrisowen> is definitely copying <Greystripe>. He at first used a double-Google Translate system but once <Greystripe> started cutting his shapes <Owen> realised he had been outdone. It's a fascinating story! |
|
| Feb-04-14 | | mel gibson: Thanks guys - well - I will never try to read his garbage again. |
|
Feb-05-14
| | OhioChessFan: <offramp> <chrisowens> has been here about 8 years. <Greystripe> has been here about 3 weeks. Maybe you're being facetious and I'm missing it. |
|
Feb-05-14
| | offramp: Well if <chrisowen> has been here 8 years I suppose he must be about 20. That is really shocking. I can hardly believe he is that old. Must be a group of people. |
