| Dec-15-13 | | Eduardo Bermudez: Beautiful chess game !! |
|
Jun-13-17
 | | FSR: 36.Qxg6+ hxg6 37.Rh8+ Kf7 38.Ng5# |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | Chizoad: 32. Nh5! is a very nice move:
32. Nh5 gxh5 33. gxh5 Rf8 34. Rg1+ Kf7 35. Rg7+ and the black queen falls. Beautiful and smooth attack from white here. |

 | | al wazir: Where's the win after 32...gxh5 ? If 33. Rxh5, then 33...Qf7 34. Rg5+ Bg6 35. f4 Ne7. Now what? |
|

 | | radtop: Masterful game. The pawn on a5 was poisoned as well. |
|
Jun-13-17
| | al wazir: Never mind, I see: 33. gxh5, followed by Rg1+. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | stst: Nice but tricky finish... Q-sac but not Monday!!
36.QxB+ hxQ (forced, nothing else helps, even Qg7 got crushed by QxQ#)
37.Rh8+ Kf7 (only sq.====> but watch out right here!!)
38.Ng5# ==> such a nice position just made for this configuration, the K has no more escape sq. IF 38.Rh7+ looking for RxQ will be a BIG Mistake, for then KxN , RxQ and KxR... White has almost nothing left!! |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | agb2002: The material is identical.
Black threatens Q(R)xe6.
White can deliver mate in three: 36.Qxg6+ hxg6 37.Rh8+ (37.Ng5 Qg7) 37... Kf7 38.Ng5#. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I had more trouble with this than I should have, for a very stupid reason: I forgot that the recapturing pawn would be on g6, and hence that g6 wasn't a flight square. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | diagonalley: <cheapo> ... i'm soooo glad that you made the same oversight as yours truly... DOH! |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | AlicesKnight: The way in is blasted by 36.Qxg6+ - ....hxg6; 37.Rh8+ Kf7; 38.Ng5#. Let's see - they seem to agree. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | Walter Glattke: Queen sac, forced mate. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | get Reti: I made the same mistake as both Cheapo by the Dozen and diagonalley, thinking that the king could escape on g6. It's a pretty strong optical illusion! |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | morfishine: <36.Qxg6+> forces mate: 36...hxg6 37.Rh8+ Kf7 and now <38.Ng5#> ***** |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | malt: 36.Q:g6+ hg6 37.Rh8+ Kf7 38.Ng5# |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | whiteshark: Like some previous posters, I also had to realize that <square g6> is not available as a flight square as thought in my initial calculation. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | Carlos0012358: Mate is three! |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | saturn2: I solved this one but not at first glimpse. |

 | | Willber G: This would make a good Tuesday puzzle. |
|
| Jun-13-17 | | flightsquare: yes, the game is more impressive than the puzzle, which is just the easy denouement |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: As a side puzzle and in response to the many comments, after 36...hxg6, remove the g6 pawn.

|
| Jun-13-17 | | RandomVisitor: After 23.a5
white will sac the a- and c-pawns to draw black pieces away from the attack-weakened kingside. There will be no endgame to take advantage of the material. However, black could have tried:
