| Aug-02-07 | | Tamerlan: Bd2 would be better than Rxe3! |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | Tamerlan: Instead of Qg7+, white could also play Re5+!! That would be a much better alternative! |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | newton296: saw the double rook sak ! Then I figured long stroll for the black king through the fire. Wasnt sure if white could mate here but I would have risked it ( otb) |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | gnixon: Tuesday. Rxg6+, Rxg6+, plus infinite checks on the fleeing king = full solution |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | Fezzik: I don't think we get full credit unless we see 30.Qd1 Kc5 31.b4+ before we move the pieces. Yeah, the attack R1xg6 *seems* to work, but unless you can *prove* it works you won't be able to beat the best players. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | soberknight: Damn, didn't see the full continuation. I thought it was a simple sac and mate. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | zb2cr: <eaglewing>,
Not so sure about your proposed alternative. 26. Rgxg6+, fxg6; 27. Rxg6+, Kf7; 28. Rf6+, Kg7; 29. Rf3+, Kg8; 30. Rxe3, Bf5; 31. Qxf5, Rxf5; 32. Rxh3 and White is just up by 2 pieces vs. a Rook, which is not a killer. Of course, I'm sure there are improvements for both Black and White possible. |

 | | fm avari viraf: Black's King fortress is in jeopardy & White's pieces are ready to pounce hence, 26.Rgxg6+ fxg6 27.Rxg6+ Kf7 28.Rg7+ Ke6 [ not ...Ke8 then 29.Bh5+  ] 29.Bg4+ Kd5 30.Qd1+ Ke4 [ not ...Kc4 then 31.Be2+ Kc5 32.b4+ Kb6 & 33.Bd4+ wins nor 30...Kc5 saves ] The rest is all techniques which enlightens our minds. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | YouRang: I found it, more or less. With all that firepower aimed at black's poor king, the idea of a double rook sac was pretty obvious. (Of course, if black accepts the 2nd rook, he gets mated in 1). Like others, I went with 26. Rfxg6+, but I suppose it doesn't matter much. I only saw it through far enough to know that it sends the black king running around naked, pursued by a hostile queen, rook and pair of bishops. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | Crowaholic: Sigh... I found 26. Rfxg6+ fxg6 27. Rxg6+ Kf7 (..hxg6 28. Qxg6#) 28. Rg7+, but didn't consider this to be winning because I failed to visualize the consequences of 28. ..Ke6 29. Bg4+! |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | patzer2: White demolishes the pawn cover around the weakened castled position with today's puzzle solution 26. Rgxg6+!!, which begins a winning pursuit (King Hunt)of the Black monarch. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | CapablancaFan: After 28.Rg7+, I would have resigned at that point, it's not hard to see that the black king is doomed after that. |
|
| Aug-02-07 | | bogo78: a hunt of epic proportions. I have little experience in this type of pursuits, so no wonder i was not able to see all the lines after Bg4+... |
|
| Aug-03-07 | | eaglewing: <zb2cr> I would prefer 30. Rxe3, Bf5 31. Bd3 and advantage Q vs R. However, 28. Rf6+ Ke8 Bh5+ Kd8 Rcxf8+ Kc7 Black giving back the rook might lead to just small material and some positional advantage instead of the ovewrwhelming one with Rg7. |
|
| Oct-14-23 | | Brenin: A double R sac on g6, with mate on g6 if the second is accepted, forces the Black K into the open after 27 ... Kf7 28 Rg7+ Ke6 (Ke8 29 Bh5+) 29 Bg4+. That's as far as I saw, but surely the Black K cannot survive long here. |

 | | Breunor: I saw through 30 Qd1 check. Not sure I would risk it in a real game but it was pretty clear from a 'white to play and win' standpoint. |
|
| Oct-14-23 | | geeker: The double R sac (with mate if both accepted) immediately suggested itself. I didn't see much further, but would definitely have played it OTB. |
|
| Oct-14-23 | | raymondhow: First three moves were pretty easy, then I went for 29.Qb3+ which appears to win just as well. |

Sac sac check check check . . . |

it was a nice King hunt.

| Oct-14-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Seriously? 26. Rfxg6+ hxg6 27. Rxg6+ fxg6 28. Qxg6#... Monday again? LOL
26. Rfxg6+ hxg6 27. Rxg6+ Kh7 28. Rg7+ Kh8 29. Qh7# I guess the continuation seems readly plausible:26. Rgxg6+ fxg6 27. Rxg6+ Kf7 28. Rg7+ Ke6 29. Bg4+ Kd5 30. Qd1+ However, there is a point I would like to comment: now B♔ changes his walk to 30...Kc5
31. b4+ Kc4 (31... Kc5 Kb6 32. Bd4+ Qxd4 33. Qxd4+ Ka6 34. Bxc8+ Rfxc8 35. Qe3 Rc7 36. Rxc7 Nf4 37. Qa3+ Kb6 38. Qa5#). Continues:
32. Qb3+ Kd3 33. Bb2+ (Now: Kd2 34. Bc1+ Ke1 35. Qxe3+ Kf1 36. Be2+ Ke1 37. Bd2#) Ke4 34. Re7+ Kf4 35. Qxe3+ Kxg4 36. Qg3+ (Kh5 37. Rxh7#) Kf5 37. Qxh3+ Kf4 38. Bc1#.
These analyses show that B had no escape. |
|
| Oct-14-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Correction: <30...Kc5 31. b4+ Kc4 >(31... <Kb6 32.> etc. (Remove "Kc5"). |
|
| Oct-14-23 | | johnnydeep: The other rook sac also works well:
1) +19.33 (25 ply) 26...fxg6 27.Rxg6+ Kf7 28.Rg7+ Ke6 29.Bg4+ Kd5 30.Qd1+ Ke4 31.Re7+ Kf4 32.Rxe3 Bxg4 33.Qd4+ Kg5 34.Qg7+ Kh5 35.Qxh7+ Kg5 36.Rg3 Rf4 37.Qxh3 Re8 38.Bd2 Re1+ 39.Bxe1 Rc4 40.Bc3 c5 41.Qh7 Rxc3 42.Qg7+ Kf5 43.Qxg4+ Kf6 44.Rxc3 b4 45.Rxc5 |

 | | plang: It must have been in the back of Dreev's mind that he had been eliminated by Dominguez in the 4th round of the 2004 World Championship Tournament in Tripoli. 9 Bd2 was the latest fashioned introduced in 2004 as an alternative to 9 g5. At the 2004 Calvia Olympiad Dominguez had played 9..exd against Gelfand and the game had been drawn after a sharp fight; 9..0-0 was new. Black gobbled two pawns but decided against 14..Bxh2 15 Rg2..N2g4 16 Rh1..h5 17 Rgxh2..Nxh2 18 Rxh2..Qd6 19 Rh1 with an unclear position. Had Black played 18..Bc7 it would not have been clear that White had sufficient compensation for the two pawns; instead, after 18..Ng4?, White was quickly able to activate his minor pieces. One consequence of Black's error was that he quickly lost control of the f6 square. 21..Qc5 22 Be2..Qxc2 23 Kxc2..Nd7 24 Ne4 would have left Black with a decisive positional disadvantage particularly due to the stranded knight on h3: ie. 24..f6 25 Bc3..Kg7 26 Nd6..Ne5 27 Bxe5..fxe 28 Rxf8+..Kxf8 29 Nxc8..Rxc8 30 Bg4. Black would not have been saved by 24..Ne5 25 Qe4..Qxe4 26 Nxe4..Re8 27 Nd6..Re7 28 Bxe5+. Voted the 6th best game in Informant 93. |
