| Jan-22-05 | | thorndeux: hmm - i don't seem to understand this. what about Rfe1? or the other rook, even? and Nc5 is just one move away. e.g. 29.Rfe1 RxR 30.RxR Rd3 31.Re1 Nd6 32.Nc5 and white seems to be fine, maybe loses the b-pawn. what am i missing? |
|
| Jan-22-05 | | ArmyBuddy: 27 Qe3. White would've won or drawn the game if it weren't for that move |
|
| Jan-22-05 | | patzer2: Black's 28...Rd3! combines the deflection and pin tactic for decisive effect. A detailed analysis follows: 28...♖d3! 29. ♖fe1
[(A) 29. Re2 Nd6 30. Nbc5 Bxe4+ 31. Nxe4 Nxe4 32. Rxe4 Rd2 33. b4 Rc2 34. Re3 Rdd2 35. Rh3 h6 36. Ra1 Kf7 37. Re1 Ke7 38. Kg1 Kd6 39. Rg3 Kd5 40. Rh3 Kc4 41. Re4+ Kb3 42. Kf1 Rd1+ 43. Re1 Rxe1+ 44. Kxe1 Rxc3 45. Rh4 Rc4 46. Rh3+ Kxb4  ; (B) 29. Rxd3 Bxe4+ 30. Kg1 (30. Rdf3 Rd1! 31. Kg2 Rxf1 32. Kxf1 Bxf3 33. Nc5 Bxg4 is the winning game continuation) 30...Bxd3 31. Rd1 Rd5 (an easier win is 31...e4 ) 32. Nc5 Rxc5 33. Rxd3 Ne7 34. Kf2 Nc6 35. Kf3 Kf8 36. Ke2 b4 37. cxb4 Rc2+ 38. Rd2 Rxd2+ 39. Kxd2 Nxb4 ; (C) 29. Nbc5 Rxe3 30. Nxb7 Rd5 31. Ng3 Nd6 ]
28...♖d3! 29. ♖fe1 ♖xe3 30. ♖xe3 ♖d1+! [also winning are 30...Nd6! and 30...Rd3! ] 31. ♔g2 ♘d6 32. ♘bc5 ♗xe4+ 33. ♘xe4 ♘xe4 34. ♖xe4 ♖d2+ 35. ♔f3 ♖xb2 36. c4 ♖b3+ 37. ♔e2 ♖b4 38. ♔d3 ♖xc4 39. ♖xc4 bxc4+ 40. ♔xc4 g6 |

| Jan-22-05 | | patzer2: <Thorndeux> <What am I missing?> In your line, after <29.Rfe1 RxR 30.RxR Rd3 31.Re1 Nd6 32.Nbc5>, play continues 32...Bxe4+ 33. Nxe5 Nxe5 34. Rxe5 Rd1+ 35. Kg2 Rd2+ 36. Kf3 Rxb2, where Black with two extra pawns and two isolated weak Black pawns available as targets will easily win. Note also that Black here can play the intermediate move 30...Rd1+, gaining tempo for the winning line given in my post above. |

| Jan-22-05 | | kevin86: Nice combination by black!! His slight-of-hand gains him a piece-and the peace that winning offers. |

| Jan-22-05 | | white pawn: Yay I got this one today :-D. I didn't see the entire way through, but I saw the gain in material. Very good game. And <Shah Mat> don't tell me it's Friday, when it's really Saturday, ever again. When I read your post I was like, "Oh no! I'm supposed to be at work!"(I jus woke up) :-p |
|
| Jan-22-05 | | Shah Mat: <white pawn> hahah sorry to put a scare into you. the chessgames server is somewhere east of me, so in my timezone the new puzzles are up late friday nights; when i posted, the clock on my computer said it was friday...i forgot that it actually the saturday puzzle. |
|
| Jan-22-05 | | GreenDayGuy: What about 29. Rfe1? It holds the rook and protects the knight, and after black moves, white can move his king out of the pin. |
|
| Jan-22-05 | | Hossam Hassan: GreenDayGuy: after 29.Rfe1 there is 29...Rxe3 30.Rxe3 Nd6 31.Nbc5 Bxe4+ 32.Nxe4 Nxe4 33.Rxe4 Rd1+ 34.Kg2 Rd2+ 35.Kf3 Rxb2 |
|
| Jan-28-05 | | hkannan2000: <Gypsy> After 30 Nbc5, ...Rh3! with same threates. White's Kt is pinned, the R at e2 will have to move to e1 when the other Black rook can (even though after preparation) intrude into whites 2nd rank. May not be fool proof. But i think Black is better. |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | Walter Glattke: 29.Rfe1 or 29.Nbc5, 29.Rxd3 is a "patzer" a mistake. |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | Walter Glattke: General Change and won ending with:
29.Rxd3 Rxd3 30.Re1 Nd6 31.Nbc5 Rxe4+
32.Nxe4 Nxe4 33.Rxe4 Rd2 34.c4 Rxb2
35.c5 Kf7 |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | stst: This should gain a piece:
28..............Rd3
IF (A)
29.RxR BxN+
30.Rf3 Rd1+
31.Kg2 RxR
32.KxR BxR
IF (B)
29.Re1 RxR
30.RxR Rd1+
31.Kg2 Nd6
32.Kh3 NxN
... other variations possible, but Black got advantage anyhow.... |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | Moszkowski012273: Ummmmmm.... Friday? |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | morfishine: <28...Rd3> is a nice invasion that seemed to rattle White into an inferior response <29.Rfe1>, <29.Ree1> or even maybe best of all <29.Ree2> are all better moves with White basing his final strategy on an eventual <Nbc5> ***** |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | ChessHigherCat: I thought this was much easier than the Th. or even the W puzzle. I saw the 28...Rd3 trick within a minute (after vainly toying with some of the other ways of exploiting the pin). Almost geometrical with the triangle theme. |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | whiteshark: Attacks n pins |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | gofer: Well, I can only suppose that this one is one of those POTD where
the losing side chose the wrong defence. I can see a "simple"
sequence that nets a whole pawn, but nothing more. BUT if white
falls for a cheap trick then he loses a whole piece! <28 ... Rd3>
29 Rxd3? Bxe4+
30 Rdf3 Rd1!!!
But white isn't going to fall for this. They will simply protect Re3 because giving up Re3 seems a little bit unwise... 29 Nc5? Rxe3
30 Nxb7 Rd7
31 Nbc5 Rd5
Black ends an exchange up...
<29 Rfe1 ...>
At which point things get interesting...
<29 ... Rxe3>
<30 Rxe3 Re1+>

<35 Kg3 Rxb2>

Yep. Based on what <Patzer2> wrote I am pretty close
to the right answer... |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | Pasker: Easy one. May be I was expecting that kind of quiet preparatory moves instead of sacrifices in a typical Friday puzzle. |
|
| Jun-02-17 | | Walter Glattke: Gofer, I propose 30.-Nd6 31.Nbc5 Bxe4+
32.Nxe4 Nxe4 33.Rxe4 Rd2 34.Re1 Rxb2
35.Rd1 Ra2 36.Rd8+ Kf7 37.Rd7+ Ke8

 | | PawnSac: < ArmyBuddy: 27 Qe3. White would've won or drawn the game if it weren't for that move > well i'm not so sure about that, although i certainly agree Qe3 was a loser. The queen trade allows black to exploit the pin. But even apart from Qe3 white has a difficult position. Black has a clear positional advantage in the two long diagonals (a7-g1 & b7-h1) plus the rooks on the open file. The x-ray attack of the LSB is particularly dangerous, so my first thought was to get the king off that diag with perhaps h3 and Kh2, or Kg2-Kg3, but that may be too slow, so white's best may be Nbd2 to reinforce the pinned knight. But it still appears a hard uphill climb to a draw. |

| Jun-02-17 | | ChessHigherCat: <Gofer:
<<29 Rfe1 ...> At which point things get interesting...
<29 ... Rxe3>
<30 Rxe3 Re1+>
<31 Kg2 Nd6>
<32 Nc5 Bxe4+>
<33 Nxe4 Nxe4>
<34 Rxe4 Rd2+>
<35 Kg3 Rxb2>
Your line starts out like the one I was expecting but I thought black would repeat the same Rd3 trick: <<29 Rfe1 Rxe3> <30 Rxe3 Rd3>
<31 Re1 Nd6>
<32 Nc5!>
Now since the white knight is forking the pinning bishop and the rook, black has to defecate or get off the pot, as it were. If now 32...Nxe4 33. Nxd3 Nf2++ 34. Kg1 Nxd3 wins the exchange. If 32...Nxe4 33. Rxe4 Rd1+ wins the exchange, too. If, however, 32...Nxe4 33. Nxb7 Nf2+ 34. Kg1/2 Nxg4 wins a whole miserable pawn, as in your variation. |

 | | agb2002: Black has a bishop for a knight.
White is about to play Kg1.
The bishop x-rays the white king. This suggests Nd6, Rd3 and Rd1. In the case of 28... Nd6 29.Nxd6 R5xd6+ (29... Rd3+ 30.Nxb7 + -) 30.Kg1 and Black seems to have lost some advantage. After 28... Rd1 29.Rfe1 Black doesn't seem to have achieved much. In the case of 28... Rd3:
A) 29.Re2 Nd6 30.Nbc5 Bxe4+ (30... Nxe4 31.Nxb7 -31.Nxd3 Nf2+ 32.Kg1 Nh3#-, unclear) 31.Nxe4 Nxe4 32.Rxe4 Rd2 A.1) 33.Rb1 Rc2 followed by Rdd2 looks very good for Black. A.2) 33.b4 Rc2 34.Re3 (34.Rf3 Rd1+ and mate in two) 34... Rdd2 35.Rh3 Re2 followed by e4-e3 looks winning. A.3) 33.Rb4 Rc2 as above.
B) 29.Rxd3 Bxe4+ 30.Rdf3 (else Rxd3 wins a piece) 30... Rd1 31.Kg1 (31.Kg2 Rxf1 32.Kxf1 Bxf3 wins a piece) 31... Bxf3 32.Rxd1 Bxd1 wins a piece. |
