Dec-19-05 | | AlexBabich: I saw this puzzle in one of the exersizes in a russian chess book about three years ago and I instantly recognized it. I don't know why white did not move Kf1. Sometimes your opponent just hands you an apportunity for mate. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | YouRang: A very pretty position with a pin and a counter-pin. Easy puzzle, just right for a Monday. :) |
|
Dec-19-05 | | rochade18: I've seen easier monday puzzles. It took me some time to discover the right queen move. a very nice one! |
|
Dec-19-05 | | NakoSonorense: hardest monday puzzle ever |
|
Dec-19-05 | | kevin86: A case of pin and counter pin---in this case the original pin is the pin winner. White's queen and king are forked by black's queen. The queen cannot capture and is thus,lost. :( A good Monday puzzle. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | trumbull0042: A subtle puzzle. A nice relief from brutish queen sacs often seen on Mondays (not that I don't enjoy brutish queen sacs, but they were starting to get kind of old). |
|
Dec-19-05 | | SickedChess: quite easy to find just 3 seconds for me :) |
|
Dec-19-05 | | chesscrazy: Interesting puzzle. I got it but missed the counterpin (I got Qh4 but didn't see the pin. How did I get that? No clue). I have a very strange brain. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | taerone: Nice puzzle, pin against pin. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | DtRooster: I got it within about 20 seconds, so it couldn't have been too hard. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | flamboyant: yeah took be about 20-30 sec also, very cool monday puzzle, i really had to focus on the program, which is kinda rare for a monday ;) |

Dec-19-05 | | robertbj: I quit forever |
|
Dec-19-05 | | mr j: Nice puzzel. It would be very satisfying to pull off such a winning move in a game :-) |

 | | beenthere240: I think most people see it in a real game (unless they're in a time crunch, since all other moves lose!) |
|
Dec-19-05 | | apoorv: HARDEST Monday puzzle of all time (took me 20 seconds) |
|
Dec-19-05 | | BishopofBlunder: I took way too long trying to solve this puzzle. I kept looking for a Boden's Mate. |
|
Dec-19-05 | | Chess Classics: I got that one, but I'd seen it before. I think it was in Fred Reinfeld's "Win at Chess", a good book for bad tacticians like me! Regards,

Dec-19-05 | | Tariqov: Pretty easy for a monday,is it really hard?? seems like a normal monday puzzle.
<BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops! |
|
Dec-19-05 | | JeffCaruso: < <BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops!> He knows. He's just joshing! |
|
Dec-19-05 | | snowie1: It's the little things in life that hurt; you can sit on a mountain, but you can't sit on a pin. |
|
Dec-20-05 | | BishopofBlunder: <JeffCaruso: < <BishopBlunder>Do you know what is a Boden"s mate is ??? There are no Bishops!> He knows. He's just joshing!> Must have been my deadpan delivery... |

Aug-27-06 | | syracrophy: This game has the same taste of pins of this position: Brundtrup-Budrich, Berlin, 1954
 click for larger view1.Bc5! Bb6 2.Qf4+! wins the queen |
|
Nov-15-10 | | sevenseaman: Both were hanging by the same noose; the taller one just managed to touch the ground with his toes! |
|
Dec-04-11 | | indoknight: the ending is like Timman vs Kasparov, 1985 |
|
Nov-06-20 | | George Wallace: Beautiful winning move. Black seemed to be on the ropes and then he pulls this out. |
