 | | ChessHigherCat: I missed the game line 18-double-espresso defense with 21....Bg5+ These guys are fantastic, how come I've never heard of either one of them before? I mean if this game had been played in Gashimov it would probably have been voted one of the best games in the tournament, right? |

| | ChessHigherCat: I just looked back over the earlier kibbitzes and found our old (now extinct?) Tyranosaurian friend <Random Visitor>'s claim that e6 was one of the 110 best moves ever made: https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess/... It's probably held in such high esteem because anyone's first impulse (including mine) is to win the bishop with 19. exd6 instead, and then there is the temptation to win the DSB directly after that but they all let the king escape. Luckily, I noticed that the pressure on f7 was much more useful than winning the bishop. |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I was in the exd6 crowd as well. |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | morfishine: Great Sunday puzzle! Truly insane! |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: 19. e6 puts exclusive pressure on the kingside, did not see it... *starts crying in an uncontrollable manner* |

For ex, 22...Ba4 23 Bf7 Qa6 (protecting f6) 24 (ed threatening Be6 that intercepts the 6th rank hereby threatening Bf6# ) Rc8 25 b3 Bd7 (...Be8?? Rg8#) 26 Be6! +- |

White can attack the black king with 19.exd6:

A.1) 20... Kf8 21.Rg8+ Kxg8 22.dxe7 f5(6) 23.Bh5 and 24.Rg1#. A.2) 20... Bg5 21.Rxg5+ Kf8 22.Rdg1

| | agb2002: I missed 23... Be8 in my line A.1. I should pay more attention to backward moves. |

My Stockfish has a slightly different answer to the text solution. Stockfish 9, 64 bit on an i7 Quad core says:

| Apr-29-18 | | outplayer: The most difficult move for me to find was the quiet 21.Rdf1. |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | landshark: My first impulse was 19.e6 with a quick look at the next 4 moves after which it got murky for me. Then I saw exd6 and liked how taking the B on e7 helped corral the K with 19. exd6 gxh6 20. dxe7 but missed 20... h5! which saves the day. |
|
Apr-29-18
 | | Sneaky: I was able to make 19.Qxg7+ work by having Black make some really terrible moves. :) |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | landshark: In the game, where's the win after 24... Rxf7? If 25. Bh5 Qc7 26. Bf6 Kf8 holds. What's White got here? |
|
| Apr-29-18 | | njchess: This doesn't seem that tough to me. There are only 3 choices: 1. ♕xg7 2. exd6 or 3. e6. I ruled out ♕xg7 because White's g-pawn would still be blocking the rook supporting it (in other words, the g-pawn needed to recapture so White could check with the rook, gaining an all important tempi). exd6 seemed promising since it stood a good chance of taking Black's bishop, but then what? e5 would support it but it's slow and also blocks the bishop; the attack just seemed to stall. That left 19. e6! gxh6 20. gxh6+ ♔f8 21. ♖df1 +- Time to check. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: <landshark> <In the game, where's the win after 24... Rxf7? If 25. Bh5 Qc7 26. Bf6 Kf8 holds. What's White got here?> Instead of 26 Bf6, try 26 Bd4.
click for larger viewThe threat is 27 Rg8+, so after 26...Kf8 either 27 Rxf7+ or 27 Bxf7 seem to work. |
