| Nov-01-05 | | mikejaqua: I got stuck on Rxd6, which I believe wins the rook. But why win a rook when you can win a game? |

| Nov-01-05 | | acirce: Vukcevich is one of the greatest chess problem composers of all time. Looks like he composed a helpmate here. |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | RookFile: Well, I give www.chessgames.com
all the credit. Took me like 2 seconds
to come with ....Rxh2+. All the drills
from this week help! |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | RookFile: I played over this game, and was really impressed with black's play.
This game bears a striking resemblence to this more famous example: R Byrne vs Fischer, 1967 |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | ughaibu: So this is where Fischer pinched the idea from. |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | JoeWms: It took me a couple of minutes to work out the deflection idea and solve the puzzle. But, the game itself: It was a real biche! I think I guessed wrong on 99.9% of the moves. Seemed that way, at least. I'm gonna hit this game again later -- after I get a nap. |

A.34...fg? 35.♖xg6 - 36.♕f3
B.34...♖h6! 35.♖xf6 ♖xg6 36.♖xg6 fg 37.cb |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | dakgootje: cant say i had much problems with this one...as it was the first thing i looked at...And after that the queen check was obvious and after that 37. ...♖h8 was the first thing i looked at |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | FAME: I got this is in about 30 seconds, easy because of the lack of other good moves. |

| Nov-01-05 | | aginis: my hypothesis white was
A.Drunk
B.High
C.Lying about his rating
D.Having a stroke
E. Had less than a minute left to make it to move 40
F.Throwing the game
G.Thought he was playing checkers
H.All of the above |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | MaxxLange: <Topaluv> You can't compare Yahoo ratings to anything, not even other Yahoo ratings. The main thing to remember about estimated ratings is that"I play at about a 1700 or 1800 level" means "I am (or would be) rated about 1200". |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | MaxxLange: Me, I'm 1642, but I play at a much higher level... |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | CAPPYJAK: vulcavich was suffering from a rare disease called phytosimpholotomea which causes brain matter to seep into the inner ear. may be fatal. |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | alexandrovm: the rook is sacrificed on h2, the queen comes to f2 with a check (if not is mate in one), the other rook enters with a decicive check on h8, and is the end for the white team... |

> beware! This could happen to you too |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | Halldor: The second row is badly protected, the white king can't protect h2 and f2 at the same time, so 35...♖xh2! and mate is inevitable. |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | yataturk: This week's theme... deflect, trap, mate |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | jmelton: Black missed 16...Nxe4, opening the long diagonal with a pretty dangerous-looking attack. |
|
| Nov-02-05 | | alexandrovm: <jmelton: Black missed 16...Nxe4, opening the long diagonal with a pretty dangerous-looking attack.> can u give me the line you are thinking next? |
|
| Feb-12-06 | | jmelton: I guess the line I was thinking of, 16...Nxe4! 17Nxe4 Bxg5 doesn't quite work because of 18Nxd6+ and after Black takes the knight, the b7 bishop is hanging and White regains the piece with a slight edge, according to Fritz. However, after 17...Bxe4! Black has won a free pawn since White's bishop on g5 is hanging, too. |
