 | | WannaBe: Monday puzzle... =) |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | snowie1: Wow! The W K has only f1,g1, or g2, losing the Q...lights out! |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | KeRvY: simple puzzle, i really like how both players have a peace pinned to their king, adds a unique feeling to the game |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | ataturk: this is hilarious... |

 | | Sneaky: The real winning move is 36...Rf8! but any patzer would guess that move, not realizing that the cross pin 37.Rd8(!) might gum up the works. But if you look a little deeper, you see the fork ...Qh4+! settles matters. Lucky for Black that g pawn wasn't on g5 instead of g6, in that case the fork would be impossible--and White, with a pinned queen and everything, would be winning. |

| Dec-19-05 | | erimiro1: My opionon about Monday puzzles is well known, so lets talk chess. Here we got a rare case of dbl. pinning (the black rook that is pinning the white queen is pined by the white rook) and a fork, (the puzzle), all in 2 moves! The dbl. pin may look simple as a puzzle, but might confuse players during the game, like here, when white blundered 36.Kf2??. After 36.Kf1! he has at least draw. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | patzer2: Black sets a pin with 36...Rf8, but then White sets a counterpin with 37. Rd8, which threatens mate. How, does Black get out of this situation and solve today's puzzle? The answer is with the surprise double attack 37...Qh4+!, which makes the counterpin useless and wins the pinned White Queen afterall. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | patzer2: White's blunder is 36. Kf2?? Instead 36. Kh2! Qxe2+ 37. Kh1 Qh5+ 38. Kg1 Qg5+ 39. Kh2 Qe2+ = is good for a draw. Perhaps White was greedy in playing 36. Kf2?? in thinking his counterpin would foil his opponent's plan, but failed to see Black's winning reply 36...Rf8! 37. Rd8 Qh4+!  . |

|
| Dec-19-05 | | zabbura2002: counterpin!! seldom happened.. but when it does.. look at how cool it is... |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | Dim Weasel: Easy but funny. |

|
| Dec-19-05 | | ahmadov: I found this puzzle very quickly, but one can find this even easier if he knows that Black's 36th move was Rf8. |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | Confuse: neat, i like how perfect the setup is |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | KFitzgerald: Good Monday Puzzle. Don't you hate when you get beat to the punch like that? |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | erimiro1: <patzer2>Don't agree with you this time. Before the blunder,white had a clear positional advantage, with a problem of exposed king. Your 36.Kh2 leads, as you said - to a draw. "My" 36.Kf1 with the plan of Ke1-d2 gives white chances to win. |

| Dec-19-05 | | gmtsouros: it's so easy when you are out of the dance !!! |
|

|
| Dec-19-05 | | thomaspaine: Really very very nice (and funny). Wow! |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: haha, this puzzle is hilarious! |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | MaxxLange: pin/cross-pin week? |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | weary willy: There's a nice quote from an old BBC radio programme of the 1960s ... "Most of us would see the pin and rub our hands ... a few of us would see the counter-pin and recoil in horror. Who would then think that godess luck would come along with a counter-counter pin" Incidentally, it might be nice to construct a counter-counter-counter pin where in a variation of the above example white would interpose a bishop on g3 and pin the queen against a king that was on the back rank many squares to the right on the same diagonal... |
|
| Dec-19-05 | | lopium: hehe, hilarous that I missed it. I saw this move, but I didn't realize the Queen was "clouée" so can't take the black queen. I thought of Qf5. I wonder if it can wins. |
