Apr-01-17 | | AlicesKnight: I saw the lines mentioned by <FSR> and was surprised when I looked at the game itself. Eat your heart out, Marco! Von Popiel vs G Marco, 1902 |
|
Apr-01-17 | | WorstPlayerEver: Lol I really can't understand why you guys are 'interested' in chess..
But I won't give any lines no more. If no one reads them anyway.. or uses standard notation (long or short).
I wonder what occupies your brain. If anything at all.
This IS a chess site, right? I wonder. |

 | | FSR: <WorstPlayerEver> Sorry, that analysis you gave shows that you don't live up (down) to your handle. |
|
Apr-01-17 | | Walter Glattke: I remember, Marco gave up, while he could had win with a skurille looking bishop move. |
|
Apr-01-17 | | agb2002: Black has a bishop for a knight and two pawns.
White threatens fxe7 and fxg7.
Black can try to exploit the advanced passed pawn and the weakness of White's back rank with 26... Bxf6: A) 27.Qxf6 Qxf6 28.Rxf6 Rd1+ 29.Rf1 e2 30.Ne3 Rxf1+ 31.Nxf1 e2=Q - + [q vs N+2P]. B) 27.Rxf6 Rd1+ 28.Rf1 e2 is similar to A.
C) 27.Nxe3 Qxe3+ 28.Kh1 Bxb2 29.Qb7 Qf2 - + [b vs P] (30.Rxf2 Rd1+ 31.Rf1 Rxf1#). D) 27.Re1 e2 looks very good for Black. For example, 28.Na3 Bd4+ 29.Kh1 Bf2 wins decisive material due to the back rank mate. -----
Another option is 26... e2:
A) 27.fxe7 Bd4+ 28.Rf2 (28.Kh1 exf1=Q(R)#) 28... e1=Q(R)#. B) 27.fxg7 Qc5+ as in A.
C) 27.Re1 Qc5+ 28.Kh1 Qf2 29.Qa5 (29.Rg1 e1=Q wins) 29... Qxe1+ 30.Qxe1 Rd1 wins. D) 27.Rc1 Rd1+ wins.
-----
The second option looks simpler. |

Apr-01-17 | | agb2002: I noticed the queen x-raying f1 while analyzing 26... Bxf6, but forgot it when I considered 26... e2. Sometimes it's better to stick to the good move instead of looking for a better one. |

Apr-01-17 | | mel gibson: Sometimes you take a risk & it doesn't pay off.
That's chess.
The computer says:
26. .. Bxf6 is the correct solution:
(26. ..

Apr-01-17 | | morfishine: I must be getting better, instinct led me to <26...Bxf6> ***** |

 | | catlover: I didn't see 23. Ne3. Should have realized that with today being April 1st, there had to be a spoiler element in this puzzle. |
|
Apr-01-17 | | morfishine: Yes <catlover> there had to be a prank today ***** |
|
Apr-01-17 | | jith1207: <catlover> : The whole world is a spoiler on that day. CG, well playboy-ed. |
|
Apr-01-17
 | | Fusilli: Well done, <CG>! |
|
Apr-01-17 | | Conrad93: Actually, this was easy for an almost four star puzzle. |
|
Apr-02-17
 | | Fusilli: <Conrad> It would have been easy if what was played had been the actual solution. But the point was the April fool's day prank, and on that regard, I think it was great. |
|
Apr-02-17 | | saturn2: I went for 26..Qc5 27 Qb6 QxQ 28 NxQ Bf8 (threatening Bc5 so king or knight have to move) and then e2 |
|
Jan-21-18 | | Toribio3: Wow! I couldn't believe it. |
|
Apr-09-20 | | Chesgambit: famous match ( classical) |

Sure? If so you might also write to 365chess when this famous encounter is listed https://www.365chess.com/tournament... in round 2:

|
Dec-09-22 | | stone free or die: Any chance <Jonasson--Angantysson> could be confused with the 1984 encounter - mentioned in a snippet view of CL&R (1988): https://www.google.com/books/editio... Somebody could used the magazine publication date by mistake, yes / no? . |
|
Dec-09-22 | | stone free or die: (Krabbe's 1985 <Chess Curiosities> might also have this game...) |
