| Oct-18-05 | | MaxxLange: I missed this...move order. Perenyi's 13 Nc6!! is much stronger than my 13. Qxe6+ fxe6 14. Bg6+ Ke7 15. Nc6+ Kd6 16. Nxd8. IM Bela Perenyi was a great attacking player in the school of Stein, Nezhmetdinov, and Tal, who was tragically killed in a car accident before he reached his full potential. He created many important theoretical lines in the Sicilian Defense, especially in the unforgiving Dragon and Najdorf variations. The old 16.Rg1 main line in the 6.Bg5 Najdorf was, I am told, Perenyi's idea. Once I lost a bad game as Black to 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cd 5. Nxd4 Nf6 6. Nc3 g6 7. Be3 Bg7 8.f3 0-0 9. g4!? d5? I reasoned that the old "a flank attack should be met in the center" idea was worth a try, and lost horribly after 10. g5 Nfd7. When I got home and saw that Perenyi once got crushed with the same line for Black, I felt better! |

| Oct-18-05 | | SamuelS: I missed this one. I thought it were 13. Be4 Nd5 (13...Rb8 14. Nc6 Qc7 15. Nxb8 or 13...Nxe4 14. Qxe4 Rb8? (correct was 14...Ba6 refuting my combination) 15. Nc6 Qc7 16. Nxb8) 14. c4 Nb6 15. Bxa8. I just could not find anything after the knight sacrifice to e6, so I did not even try the queen sacrifice. The checkmate with the knight and the bishop is quite beautiful however. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | Madman99X: Why not 10 ... Bxc5? That seems a much better move.
Also, 12 ... Nxc5 threatening ...Qxd4. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | prinsallan: Not easy, not hard. Got it, but it took me a few minutes. I was looking at this move first:
13. Nxe6 fxe6
14. Qxf6+ Be7
15. Bg6+ Kf8
16. Qf7#
But I found that if black chooses to block the queen-check with his own queen the attack is stopped, whith white down in material. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | erikcu: This is a good puzzle because there are probably quite a few lesser ways to gain advantage for white, but mate is always the best option... I missed it. |

 | | perfidious: <n30> 10....Bxc5 isn't bad, but 11.Ne5 was giving Black a hard time in the 1970s; I played 4....Nd7 a few times in 1982-83, but don't recall what I had in store for White after 10....Nbd7, as I never got to play it!! |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | Averageguy: I got this one, but it took me a minute or too. First I was looking at thematic sacs such as Nxe6 or even Bg6. I then tried Nc6 but saw the queen had plenty of escape squares. Then I thought I'd see the crazy opurtunity of Qxe6+ and Bg6+, as this is mate in some carro-kann traps,
but I noticed his king had e7, and I saw I could fork the king and queen. But then I thought If I play Nc6 first, I cover the e7 square, so then sacing my queen would lead to mate. |

| Oct-18-05 | | HelaNubo: <MaxxLange> <Once I lost a bad game as Black to 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cd 5. Nxd4 Nf6 6. Nc3 g6 7. Be3 Bg7 8.f3 0-0 9. g4!? d5? I reasoned that the old "a flank attack should be met in the center" idea was worth a try, and lost horribly after 10. g5 Nfd7> Maxx, this is indeed an interesting line for Black in the Dragon, did you consider 9...Nxe4! instead of 9...Nfd7 ? (Note that it is the 9th move, you shifted from 3rd to 5th;-) A possible continuation is: 10. fxe4, e5! 11.Nf3 d4 12. Nb5 a6 13. Nbxd4 exd4 14. Bxd4 Qe7 with a playable game. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | awfulhangover: I'm proud! I found Nc6! quickly. First I saw that saccing on e6 followed by Bg6+, didn't work, so I asked the question: how do I control e7 first? Answer: Do it by tempo, by chasing the queen! |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | jahhaj: This one is largely a matter of getting the move order right as ♘c6 ♗g6 and ♕xe6 are all obvious ideas in the position. Good general principle in combinations, if you see something that nearly works try changing the move order. I looked first at 13.♕xe6 with 13...fxe6 14.♗g6+ ♔e7 15.♘c6+ regaining the queen but then realised that 13.♘c6 immediately is crushing. Is this the guy who Perenyi Attack is named after (see Judit Polgar vs Kasimdzhanov, 2005)? |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | jahhaj: Sorry to answer my own question but this is the Perenyi Attack man. More examples in the kibitzing on his page. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | Dionyseus: I actually couldn't get this one. I saw that material was even, both kings were still in the center, my knight being attacked. In all my calculations I somehow ignored the white bishop, like if it didn't exist... Anyways, a nice puzzle. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | dakgootje: as some others i went for 13. ♘xe6 and as it is tuesday i looked only for 1 variation: 13.♘xe6 fxe6 14.♕xe6+ ♗e7 15.♗g6+ ♔f8 16.♕f7#, and found it promising and convincing enough to 'play' it...Next time need to calculate a little more.. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | EyesofBlue: I missed this one also. Tricky. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | gchristopher: All I saw was 13. Qf6 threatening to win the exchange and a a pawn latter on (whether black moves the rook or not). Like some of you say, the theme of these puzzles is not simply winning, but winning big. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: yes i got this one, if the pawn takes the queen, white plays Bg6 and mate! Nc6 is a good move but i think that Nxe6 is almost as good, as white can play bg6 again after black places his queen infront of his king! |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | jahhaj: <AlexanderMorphy> Nc6 wins the queen, Nxe6 leaves White a piece down for two pawns. Why Nxe6 doesn't work is discussed earlier in the kibitzing. <gchristopher> After 13.♕f3 Black has a choice of 13...cxd4 14.♕xa8 ♗xb4+ with compensation or 13...♖b8 14.♘c6 ♗b7 which is unclear (to me at least). |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | John Doe: I explored Nxe6 first (I don't usually try to sac the queen as my first variation!). The bishop theme became obvious, but it didn't work with that particular idea. So I explored the other knight check. Not only does it attack the queen, giving me a tempo, it also displaces it from its defensive position. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | Holden: I first considered ♘xe6 but couldn't find a forcing variation. Then I considered ♘c6 but did not follow with ♕xe6. Then I saw ♗g6, which looked horribly fun to play. Of course black cannot capture the bishop, making ♘xe6 even more menacing and the threats are everywhere. Did anyone else consider this line? Is there a problem with it? |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: Nc6 doesn't take the queen <jahhaj> it checkmates! |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | JoeWms: <cu8sfan> I didn't realize until your kibitz that there is a theme of the week. Where is it announced? Seems as though I've been missing out on planted clues that would have made my mornings sunnier. BTW, in this game I played out from the lurking d3 bishop and everything fell into place. And the knight cutting off the only escape squares was pure poetry. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | YouRang: Perhaps the <theme this week> is: "Easy to find 1st move; hard to find 2nd move". The first move, 13. Nc6 seemed so natural, threatening the queen and cutting off 2 squares around the king. But the first few times I looked at it, I failed to see the winning follow-up move, 14. Qxe6!! Good puzzle. |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | YouRang: <Holden> 13. Bg6 was a move I looked at, but I didn't see it going anywhere. If 13...fxg6 14. Nxe6 Qe7, now what? |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | YouRang: <AlexanderMorphy: Nc6 doesn't take the queen <jahhaj> it checkmates!> I think <jahhaj>'s point is that black can avoid checkmate, but only at the cost of his queen. It's only checkmate if he tries to save the queen (as in 13...Qc7). |
|
| Oct-18-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: well after he loses the queen, the game is practically over no mater if it's check mate or not! |
