|
| Jun-15-18 | | ughaibu: 26...Re7 seems to me to be unusually careless, for Petrosian. |
|
| Nov-18-19 | | SpiritedReposte: Low profile gem. |

|
| Nov-19-19 | | sudoplatov: Stockfish suggests that 32...Rfe8 holds. Perhaps a deep search would give more accurate results. Also Stockfish perfers 29.Qh3 to Qg3. |

| May-25-23 | | Brenin: 33 Rxg5+ Kf7 (Kh8 34 Qxf8+ Qg8 35 Qxg8 mate, or Qg7 34 Rxg7+ with material advantage, or fxg5 34 Qxf8 mate) 34 Rxf6+ Kxf6 (Ke8 35 Rxf8 mate) 35 Qxf8+ Kxg5 (Qf7 36 Rf5+ wins the Q) 36 h4+ Kg6 37 Nf4 mate, or 36 ... Kxh4 37 Qf4 mate. |

 | | perfidious: Vaguely recall this from Levy's work on le grand maitre: Looks as though 33.Rxg5+ Kf7 34.Rxf6+ Kxf6 35.Qxf8+ Kxg5 36.h4+ brings it home. |
|
| May-25-23 | | Allderdice83: Got 33 Rxg5+, of course, but I had 34. Ne5+. The problem is 34 ... Rxe5 35. Rxe5 Re8. I think White's still winning with 36. Rxf6+ Kxf6 37. Qf4+ Kg7 38. Rxe8, eg., 38 ... Qb1+ 39. Kf2 Qc2+ 40. Kg3 h4+ 41. Kxh4 Qh7+ 42. Kg3 Qd3+ 43. Qf3 Qg6+ 44. Qg4 forcing the queen trade, and the b8 knight is lost. I also considered 34 ... Ke8 35. d6 Qa7+ 36. Kh1 Rf2 (fxe5 or fxg5 also lose) 37. d7+ Nxd7 38. cxd7+ Kd8 39. Qxf8+ Kc7 40. Qc8+ Kb6 41. d8=Q+ Nc7 42. Rb1+ Kc5 43. Qcxc7+ Qxc7 44. Qxc7+ Kd5 45. Nd3+ Kd4 46. Nxf2 and White's just having fun taking all of Black's pieces before delivering checkmate. |

| May-25-23 | | Granny O Doul: That's the big thing missing from my chess career. An ovation from the audience. |

 | | fredthebear: You're not alone G.O.D. I applaud you! |
|
| May-25-23 | | jrredfield: I went with 33 Qxf8+ right away. Obviously I didn't give this enough time, since that leads nowhere, leaving Black with a decided advantage. After 33 Rxg5+, 33 ... fxg5 would lead to an immediate mate with 34 Qxf8#. So Black is forced to defend with 33 ... Qg7. Then 34 Rxg7+ Kxg7 35 Nf4 Re5 36 Qb1 and mate is forced soon after. |

I should have looked for longer.

 | | agb2002: White is one knight down.
White can attack the black starting with 33.Rxg5+ Kf7 (33... fxg5 34.Qxf8#) 34.Rxf6+ Kxf6 (34... Ke8 35.Q(R)xf8#) 35.Qxf8+: A) 35... Kxg5 36.h4+ Kg6 (else 37.Qf4#) 37.Nf4#. B) 35... Qf7 36.Rf5+ Kxf5 37.Qxf7+ wins (37... Kg4 38.Qf4#; 37... Ke4 38.Qf3+; 37... Kg5 38.h4+ Kh6 39.Nf4). |
|
| May-25-23 | | Socrates2: It's a pity that today there is not that kind of public interest in chess. |
|

 | | Honza Cervenka: Pretty game by Gligo but 32...Nb8? was a blunder. 32...Qe7 or 32...Rfe8 could hold the game. |
|
| May-25-23 | | Mayankk: I saw 33 Rxg5+ and how 33 ... fxg5 34 Qxf8+ as well as 33 ... Kh8 34 Qxf8+ lose immediately for Black.
However my expected continuation was 33 Rxg5+ Kf7 34 Ne5+ Ke8 35 d6 fxe5 36 d7+ etc. How I wish I had noticed the beauty of 34 Rxf6+ ... |
|
| May-25-23 | | TheaN: Saw this start to finish, though h4 took me a while: it seems as though White has too few pieces to finish off but it's actually #1. The only alternative that makes sense is 35....Qf7, but 36.Rf5+ +- wins in swift fashion |

 | | chrisowen: Z jeffrey its meld u its who q tap Rxg5+ arrive its grog doh its axiom jug c back u its again quaint Rxg5+ go; |
|
| May-25-23 | | vajeer: Nice puzzle. Always good to see uncommon mating pattern. |
|
| May-25-23 | | vajeer: This king kills two rooks and possibly a pawn before his demise. That's the fate of greedy kings (beyond the context of chess) ;-) |
|
| May-25-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I figured that the first move must be: 33. Rxg5+ Kf7 (Kh8 34. Qxf8#) but 34. Rxf6+?1 Kxf6 35. Qf4+ Ke7 and Black ♔ seems to escape. Then, I tried 34. Ne5+ Rxe5 35. Rxe5 which threats the unpleasant 36. Re7+ winning the ♕ (you know the King loves it) 35... Qh6 36. c7 Nxc7 37. Rxc7 and Black is bad. Otherwise, 34. Ne5+ Ke8 35. Ng6 (fxg5 36. Qxf8#) Rf7 36. Qf4 (fxg5 37. Qxb8#) Nc7 37. Qf5 (fxg5 38. Qc8#) Kd8 38. Rxh5 Qg7 39. Rh8+ Ne8 40. Rb1... (Kc7 41. Rb7+ Kd6 42. Rxb8) and Black cannot resist so many threats, will lose material. Maybe, there is a way fast which I didn't find. |
|
| May-25-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Me and Petrosian sure didn't see the beautiful 37. Qf8+ Kxg5 38. h4+! (Kxh4 39. Qf4#) Kg6 39. Nf4#. A vary rare kind of mate, where the ♕ in h7 remove the lonely escape for the ♔. Petrosian surely felt surprised. |
|
| May-25-23 | | takebackok: Thought had something, but missed the killer ending, Nice!! |
