Apr-14-08 | | griga262: A very easy one. Black just didn't leave himself any wiggle room after the 17th move. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | gtgloner: Nuthin' to it!
18. Qxh7+ Kxh7 (forced)
19. hg# |
|
Apr-14-08 | | TheaN: 1/1
Ah, these puzzles are so epicly annoying for NOT appearing on my board... when that does happen than that's for my opponents. 18.Qxh7+ Kxh7 19.hxg6# 1-0.
Probably not expected by Black, seeing he was the one preparing the whole combination, starting with 13....g6, I guess. |

Apr-14-08 | | zoat22: <jolly wally> thats such a dumb comment |
|
Apr-14-08 | | UdayanOwen: <zoat22: <jolly wally> thats such a dumb comment> I think <jolly wally> was making a tongue in cheek response to <thefableddavid's> similar comment.... I got this one in .00037 seconds.......
Baby. |

Apr-14-08 | | UdayanOwen: Its true I timed it and everything |
|
Apr-14-08 | | YouRang: With our queen under attack, there was little else to consider besides the Qxh7 sac that beging a mate-in-2. Still, it's an interesting mate, and a little hard-to-see. Besides removing the h-pawn, the queen sac also drives the king to a square (h7) where the subsequent pawn capture (hxg6) not only exposes the king to the rook attack, but (importantly) the pawn itself also delivers check. The double-check makes it impossible to block the rook attack with the bishop. A rather unusual mate in that sense. |

 | | kevin86: This one was quite easy. Black's king is in the ultimate quandry:having to fight off a pawn stab to the heart while a castle wall falls upon him. Double checks:brutal AND elegant! |
|
Apr-14-08 | | max201: nice double check.......enjoyed it!
|
|
Apr-14-08 | | Magic Castle: <UdayanOwen> You must be referring to the key move that you merely guessed right or you are kidding us. Just to look where the pieces are will take at least a second. Thanks for the comedy. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | A.G. Argent: <dzechiel:...The three move mate is fun to get off. 11.dxc4 Ng3+ 12. hxg3 hxg3+ 13. Nh4 Rxh4# 0-1.> You big bully, you. (Nudge, nudge.) |
|
Apr-14-08 | | UdayanOwen: DAMMIT <Magic CASTLE>!!! Don't try and undermine my brilliance!!! |
|
Apr-14-08 | | UdayanOwen: And <Johnlspouge> is on the right track.... Most of the .00037 seconds was the reaction time, after completing the puzzle, for my brain to send a message to my thumb and and for my thumb to stop the clock. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | eblunt: Too slow <UdayanOwen> I got this one even before I click on the page. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | lost in space: 18. Dxh7 Kxh7 19. hxg6# |
|
Apr-14-08 | | DarthStapler: Got it |
|
Apr-14-08 | | dzechiel: <A.G. Argent: <dzechiel:... You big bully, you. (Nudge, nudge.)> Sometimes it does feel that way. But then I suffer an embarrassing defeat at the hands of a different unknown guest player and I realize that what goes around comes around. |

Apr-14-08 | | wals: Static Evaluation: White is down a pawn. Has a Knight for a dark diagonal bishop.
Black is underdeveloped.
Dynamic Evaluation: White has more mobility. The black King is immobile.
The white Queen is en prise.
Abstract Assessment: If the Queen takes h7+, the King must tale the Queen,
ph5xg6+ and the King is rooked to death (a ghastly fate) by Rh2, unable to take g6
because of Bd3.
Reasonable moves, Qxh7, ph5xg6
Candidate Move:
18.Qxh7+ ...Kxh7 19.h5xg6#
PM=
Result is exactly by the script |
|
Apr-14-08 | | TrueBlue: I found this one rather difficult because of all the variations. More difficult than the typical Monday. |
|
Apr-14-08
 | | patzer2: For today's easy Monday puzzle solution, 18. Qxh7+! initiates a mate-in-two with double discovered check and mate after 18...Kxh7 19. h5xg6#. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | GannonKnight: TB -- Glad to see it was a bit of a struggle for you as well. A clever solution, but it took a tad longer than the usual Monday. |
|
Apr-14-08 | | grasser: Austin needs lessons. He resigns this game because he thinks he is going a piece down. All he loses is a pawn.
M Raizman vs A De Burca, 1935 |
|
Mar-09-09 | | WhiteRook48: Austin is a bad player |

<Steve Austin> however was a fast runner. |
