Oct-18-05 | | Holden: <YouRang> I was thinking if 13...fxg6 then ♕xe6 with ♘c6 to follow. For example 13...fxg6 14. ♕xe6 ♗e7 15.♘c6 looks pretty bad for black. But now I see 14...♕e7 answers 14. ♕xe6. It appears I was too quick to assume that black could not capture the Bishop. Thanks for the comment! |

Oct-18-05 | | kevin86: The final knight move chases the queen and grabs the squares of d8 and e7 from the black king. It then sets the stage for a fools-like mate on g6 after the queen is sacrificed at e6! Funny,since white threatened mate at move 6-another fools-like mate. |
|
Oct-18-05 | | Idedalus: <Holden>If 13.Bg6 then 13...cxd4 14.Qxe6+ Qe7 15. Bxf7+ Kd8 and there isn't a clear win. On the other hand, 13...fxg6 is a mistake that allows 14.Nc6 again, although black now gets two minor pieces for the queen instead of the one he would get if he avoids mate after 13.Nc6 with 13...Be7 for example. |

Oct-18-05 | | AngleGrynda: Note to self: Do NOT automatically recoil from (and thus overlook!) Queen sacrafices upon the amateurish grounds that in a blitz match you wouldn't have time to calculate and would doubtless get stuck in with 13. Nxe6 fxe6 14. Qxe6 ... after a 2 second pause! ChessGames.com offers a far more refined and dignified form of mental stimulus and your shoddy 3 minute skittles are not welcome here! :D |
|
Oct-18-05 | | patzer2: White forces a quick mate against the helpless uncastled king with the deflection 13. Nc6, setting up 13...Qc7 14. Qxe6+ fxe6 15. Bg6#. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: 12...bxc5?? seems to be the losing move, Fritz likes taking on c5 with the Knight ... as in the game that I quoted, (above). |
|
Oct-18-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: First I had Nc6 in mind, then I went for Nxe6......grrrrrr. |
|
Oct-18-05 | | YouRang: I'm trying to figure out why black chose 10...Nbd7 instead of 10...Bxc5. Can anyone explain that move for me? |
|
Oct-18-05 | | avidfan: The target square e6 occurs again in Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1997 on move 8. |
|
Oct-18-05 | | Koster: One more reason not to play the Caro-Kann... |
|
Oct-18-05 | | ultradread4: I solved it after pondering 1.Ne6, first, with the idea 1...fe6, 2. Bg6+ and after Ke7, 3.Nf3. But then saw Bg6 with Qe6 idea. Therefore 1.Nc6!!
Great puzzle, although I too wonder, why not 10....Bc5? |
|
Oct-18-05 | | Averageguy: The Bc4 line against the Smyslov seems fun to play while offering many traps for the unsuspecting amature. |
|
Oct-18-05 | | wals: Black's move 8....h6 was a blunder.
8....Qxd4 was the better move.
|
|
Oct-18-05 | | Halldor: Earlier today I only found 13.Qxe6+, just winning a pawn. But now I had time for the puzzle again and found 13. Nc6! (which I had discarded earlier) taking away the flightsquare for the King to d8, the black Queen has two squares. 14.Qxe6+. Black has no choice but to take the Queen, and 15.Bg6#. Very good puzzle! |
|
Oct-18-05 | | BishopofBlunder: I missed this in 0.11453999 secs!!! |
|
Oct-18-05 | | Dudley: Very important fundamental theme: the weakness of the g6 square after the move h6 is made-usually to prevent a pin of the KN. This comes up time and time again both in theory and practice. Got it in 15.86 seconds-is that quick enough? |
|
Oct-18-05 | | RookFile: What's funny about this game is,
early on, black was all over the possibility of a sacrifice on e6.
That's why he played ...Nb6, which
probably isn't accurate, because
the black bishop does cover e6. For
my money, I would have considered
9.... Be7 and 10..... 0-0, before
playing .... c5 later. Black has
a reasonable game. |

Can anyone explain that move for me?"> Taking with 10...Bxc5; is obviously fine ... and has been played in many master-level chess games. I would say Black avoids this move ... because he wants more out of the position. I.e., if he can get in ...Nxc5; without any trouble, he could exchange White's Bishop on d3 - for a Knight. (Which could be an advantage in the middle-game or ending.) Does this help?

 | | LIFE Master AJ: <wals "Black's move 8....h6 was a blunder. 8....Qxd4 was the better move."> I have to disagree. 8...Qxd4? is a bad move.
9.N1f3, Qd8; 10.Ne5 is emabarrassing for Black. (Black cannot defend f7.) After 9.N/g1-f3, Black can play 9...Bb4+; and hope for 10.c3, Bxc3+; 11.bxc3, Qxc3+; winning material. However, after the moves: 9.N1f3, Bb4?!; 10.c3!, Bxc3+; 11.Kf1!, Black's Queen is attacked. He must retreat his Queen and lose the Bishop on the c3-square. (This line can be found in just about any book on the Caro-Kann.) |
