| Jun-22-21 | | Pawn Slayer: 31 Rf6 wins the house, but black's reply is akin to a resignation. His only vague hope to prolong things a bit appears to be 31...Bf8, but it's still hopeless. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | drollere: i assume it is something like 31. Nf6 Rg6,
32. Nxg6# |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | Walter Glattke: 31.Nf6 Bxf2+ 32.Rxf2 R8g7 33.Ng6+ Rxg6 34.Bxg6 Qxf2+ 35.Kxf2 Rxf6+ 36.Kg1 Rxg6 37.Qf8+ Rg8 38.Qf6+ slaughtering Q+R for R |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | et1: It seems Nf6 also works. |

 | | al wazir: 31. Rf6 Bf8 loses a piece: 32. Rxb6 Bxh6 33. Rxh6. I assumed that black would try to move his ♕ out of danger: 31...Qc7. Of course that also loses a piece after 32. bxc5. But it's worse than that: 32. Rxf7 Nxf7 33. Qxh7#. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | agb2002: White has a bishop and a knight for the bishop pair. Black threatens Qxh6.
White has 31.Rf6:
A) 31... Rxf6 32.Qxh7#.
B) 31... Bf8 32.Rxb6 Bxh6 33.Rxh6 wins a piece. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | Walter Glattke: Corr, K not on g1, but Kh1, my mistake, so 31.Rf6 Ne6 32.Rxf7 Ng5 33.Ng6+ Rxg6 34.Bxg6 Qxg6 35.Qxg6 hxg6 36.Rxd7 Bxf2 37.Rxe5 ... 2R for 1B
31.Nf6 fails by Bf8 -++
After
B) White wins more with 33.-Rxf2 34.Rxh7# or 33.-Ne6 34.Ng6+ Rxg6 35.Bxg6 |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | TheaN: I did actually miss Bf8, but it's clear White's calling all the shots after <31.Nf6> Rxf6 32.Qxh7#, Qxf6 32.Nxf6, Be6 32.Rxf7 Bxf7 33.Qxh7#. So best is <31....Bf8 32.Rxb6 Bxh6 33.Rxh6 +-> and the pressure's still on. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | nikonoel: Missed it, played Nf6. Not "easy" in my book! |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | WorstPlayerEver: Took me a minute. But Rf6 is obvious IMHO |

 | | Dionysius1: 30...Bc5 is a neat little move itself. Pity it doesn't work because of 30. Rf6. Is there a name for that kind of move where you expose a piece by moving another one out of the way, and even though the one you moved out of the way you've put en prise, whichever your opponent takes you save them both? Those are usually hard for me to see - I wonder if it's related to them being hard to describe? |

I'd think it's just a variant of Discovered Attack, but perhaps there's a more specific name for this special case. https://www.chess.com/terms/discove... |

 | | NMABQjmgChess: I started with 31) Nf6 and that seems to work.
Rook cannot capture as it is pinned to the 7th Rank. 31) ..Qxf6 32) Rxf6 and up at least Night for a Queen ...
With 31)Nf6 Re/f8 then 32) Ng6#? |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | Walter Glattke: Knight Knight 31.Rf6 Bf8 32.Ng7 Qxf6

| | chrisowen: No honour in defeat no? |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | Tiggler: I had 31. Ng6+ Rxg6 32. Bxg6 Kg8 33. Rxf7
Qxg6 34. Rg7+ Kf8 35. Rxg6+
<saturn2: 31.Ng6+ Rxg6 32.Bxg6 Qxg6 33..Qxg6 hxg6 34.Rxff7 Nxf7 35.Nf6 wins an exchange> Pretty sure 31 Ng6+ is good enough. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | saturn2: <NMABQjmgChess: I started with 31) Nf6 and that seems to work>
31...Bf8 has to b considered also in this line |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I saw the game line immediately, that's why I tried another move. After 31...♕c7 32. ♖xf7 and the mate threat returns. I guess the best chance to Black is 31...e4 32. ♖xb6 ♗xb6 33. ♕xb6 ♘c6 34. ♕xb7 ♗e8 35. ♕xa6. Black can avoid the white ♕ get the deadly diagonal a1-h8, with d5 protected with his ♘, but meantime his Q-side pawns disappear and white will place his ♗ on a3 with another destroying force. |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | brainzugzwang: If 31...Bf8, sure looks like <knight knight>'s suggested 32.Ng7 is a killer interference shot, better than the Q exchange and recapture of the Black B others have suggested. Qxh7 mate is threatened so 32...Bxg7 (and 32...Qxf6) are no good, and if either R takes on g7, simply 33.Rxb6 leaves White with Q for N. Anything we're missing here? |
|
| Jun-22-21 | | knight knight: <Walter Glattke: Knight Knight 31.Rf6 Bf8 32.Ng7 Qxf6> 33. Qxh7#. 32 ...e4 allows the pretty 33. Ng6# but all other black moves lose anyway. |
