What do you analyze? Your suggestions are clearly WRONG.
After 17...Qd7
White wins simply with 18. e6!  (why 18. Qh4??)
destroying Black's position and its White squares. |

| Oct-16-16 | | Once: Fritzie agrees with <Yourang>. 16. Nxe6 would indeed win for White if Black followed up with 16...Qxe6 17. f5 gxf5 18. Bxf5 
click for larger viewWhite has a tremendous kingside attack which ought to crash through. Instead, Black should defend with 17... Qc8 or Qd7 which holds on to the piece. Play might continue 14...Qd7 18. e6 Qe7 19. exf7+ Rxf7
click for larger viewFritzie calls this as a slight advantage to Black of -0.77. The problem for white is that the tempting 20. fxg6 plonks an impregnable white pawn on g6. And it is one of the cruelties of chess that you can't attack through your own piece. Then the White attack would stall and Black gets to play funky moves like Rf3 and Raf8. Bottom line - 16. Nxf7 works (or is at least level but interesting) and 16. Nxe6 does not. <YouRang> is right. |
|
| Oct-16-16 | | agb2002: White has a bishop and a knight for the bishop pair and a pawn. Black threatens hxg5.
I've considered 16.Nxf7, 16.f5, 16.Nce4 and 16.Nge4. Only 16.Nxf7 seems to be promising: A) 16... Qxf7 17.Rxg6 with the idea of piling up along the g-file and taking on h6 or e6. For example, 17... Qxf4+ 18.Kb1 Rae8 19.Rdg1 Re7 20.Rxh6 dxe5 21.Rh8+ Kf7 22.Qh5+ Kf6 23.Qg6#. B) 16... Rxf7 17.Rxg6 with the same idea. For example, 17... Kf8 18.f5 Rxf5 (18... exf5 19.e6 + -) 19.Bxf5 exf5 20.e6 followed by Qxf5+ looks winning. C) 16... Kxf7 17.Bxg6+ Kg8 (17... Ke7 18.Qh4#) 18.Bd3 Kf7 19.Rxg7+ Kxg7 20.Rg1+ Kf7 (20... Kh8 21.Qxh6+ Qh7 22.Qxh7#) 21.Bg6+ Kg8 (21... Kg7 22.Be8+ Kh7 23.Bxd7 Nxd7 24.Qxe6 + -) 22.Qxh6 Qg7 23.Bh7+ wins. D) 16... h5 17.Ng5 with the double threat Bxg6 and Nxe6 looks winning for White. That's all I can do today. |

 | | Willber G: I saw 16.Nxf7 followed by 17.Rxg6 and it just looked 'right' to me. As usual I didn't analyse deeply enough to calculate all black's responses but I would have had no hesitation in playing it in a match (which is how I generally approach these puzzles). I no longer play but in my day tactical kingside attacks were my bag! |

But it was assigned nearly 10 years ago when this was the "Game of the Day", and before cg.com implemented the "pun suggestion" feature. Also, I can see the reluctance to break the tradition of always having a pun for the GOTD. I suppose from time to time we have to expect the pun maker-upper to have an uninspired day. |

| Oct-17-16 | | Al2009: <Once + YouRang> You and YouRang are WRONG, and you can SCRAP your useless "fritzie", and its ridicolus "-0.77" evaluation, which mean NOTHING, I'm not impressed by such numbers. Of course I don't play 20. fxg6 (??)
After 20. Rxg6! White keeps a tremendous bind with his Rooks against g file, and the exposed King, (threatening also f6!).
If 20...Rf6 (trying to trade the Rooks) then simply 21. Rg3! and after 22. Rdg1 Black cannot avoid to lose the Bishop (leaving White with a winning advantage of pawns and better position!). For instance: 20...Rf6 21. Rg3! Kf8 22. Rdg1 Rf7 23. Rg6! and again Black cannot avoid that White pushes pawn to f6! So, 16. Nxe6! is definitely a good move (better than 16.Nxf7?!) and you are incompetent, because it is clear that if 16. Nxf7 was working as a sac, 16. Nxe6! is a better sac, because it avoids the loss of f pawn and the check Qf4, since f pawn is very powerful to destroy Black's position after being pushed to f5 anf f6! |
|
| Oct-17-16 | | Al2009: <Once + YouRang> A possible line (proving how correct is the sac 16. Nxe6!) can be after
20. Rxg6! Rf6 21. Rg3 Kf8 22. Rdg1 Rf7 23. Rg6! Nd7 (to avoid 23.f6) and then 24. Re6! Qd8 (forced) 25. Ne4! if 25...Nf6 26. Nxf6 Rxf6 27. Qg4! and Black's position collapses if 27...Qd7 28. Rxf6+ Bxf6 28. Qg8+ Ke7 29. Qh7+ and then mates, if 27...Rf7 28. f6! and wins |

<16.Nxe6 Qxe6 17.f5 Qd7 18.e6 Qe7 19.exf7+ Rxf7 20.Rxg6 Rf6 21.Rg3>
click for larger view
Here, you continue with black playing <21...Kf8?>. This is a poor choice for black considering that white threatens to double up rooks on the g-file. Black will have difficulty defending both the bishop and the sixth rank. Also, f8 might eventually be a good retreat square for the bishop since it still guards Ph6, whereas h8 would be awful. Much better for black is <21...Kh8!>
click for larger view
Now, 22.Rdg1 may be met by 22...Rg8 (and a later ...Bf8 is possible). Black is solid and remains up a piece, and likely winning. |

| Oct-18-16 | | thegoodanarchist: <morfishine: Incredible, I got all 53 moves> Yes, but you also memorized every frame of the Zapruder film :) |
|
| Oct-19-16 | | Al2009: <YouRang> 21...Kh8? is twice worse than 21...Kf8 because it keeps Black King directly under the fire of heavy pieces. After
22. Rdg1 Rg8 23. Ne2! and then 24.Nf4 wins immediately (threatens Ne6, or Ng6, or Nh5) If 22...Rf7 again 23. Ne2! and 24. Nf4 I think it would be honest to admit that 16. Nxe6! is a good move. |
|
| Oct-19-16 | | Al2009: <YouRang> The best I could find for Black, after 21...Kh8 22.Rdg1 Rg8 23. Ne2! is 23... Nd5 But now, after 24. b3! (to dislodge Nd5 after c4) Nb4 (24...b4 25. Bc4 and after BxN and Nf4 Black seems hopeless) 25. Nf4 Nxd3+ 26. cxd3 Bc8! (forced) 27. Nxg6+ Rxg6 28. Rxg6 Qf7! 29. R1g5! Kh7 30. Qh5! Bxf5 31. Rxh6+! Bxh6 32. Qxf7+ Rg7 33. Qxf5+ Kh8 34. h4! and wins To summarize... Black is passive and pinned everywhere, so his material advantage is not enough to repair the position, which seems simply lost. |

Okay, after <16.Nxe6 Qxe6 17.f5 Qd7 18.e6 Qe7 19.exf7+ Rxf7 20.Rxg6 Rf6 21.Rg3 Kh8>

You have now added <22.Rdg1 Rg8 23.Ne2 Nd5 24.b3>
click for larger view
But here, you have black playing <24...Nb4?>. Why would black do that? White played 23.Ne2, clearly with intent to play Nf4 and Ng6, and my Nd5 is preventing that. Why move my knight now in fear of c4? It's far better to make you actually play c4 (which for me has the added benefit of weakening your king's defense). My knight is strongly perched on d5 and it should stay there. Yes, black wishes to eliminate the Pf5, but fastest and best way is simply <24...Bc8!>, pinning it your queen. I see that you delayed ...Bc8 to move 26, *after* black mistakenly allowed you to play Nf4. Now, I assume you will carry out your threat to dislodge my knight with <25.c4>, and then <25...bxc4>

Is this your plan? If so, I think you're losing badly. |
|
| Oct-20-16 | | Al2009: <YouRang>
Frankly speaking, you're now ANNOYING me...
After your move 24...Bc8 White can choose among several moves (25.Qh5/25.Qg2/25.Qg4) Probably the best is 25. Qh5 and if 25...Ne3 then 26. Nf4 threatening Ng6+ But, clearly YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT!
The point is that I suggested 16. Nxe6! as a better Knight sac than 16. Nxf7, bacause after the sac of the real game then Black played 17...Qxf4+ and after 18.Kb1 then Black missed a WINNING MOVE as 18...Nc4!! (avoiding Rf1 due to the check Nd2+) and after 19. Rdg1 Rf7 20.Rxh6 Kf8! Black wins So, my move is for sure better, because it avoids the loss of f4 pawn and the strong White's attack.
But it seems you want to stubbornly refuse to admit this, just for the sake of denying. So, I cannot waste my time with you. Keep your ideas and find someone else to discuss with. |

| Oct-20-16 | | YouRang: <Al2009> <Frankly speaking, you're now ANNOYING me... > I have no doubt. From the beginning of our discussion you've been acting like a person who takes offense at being proven wrong. There's actually no shame in being wrong if you (1) are willing to admit it, and (2) you manage to avoid insulting the people who were right, but you've fallen short on both accounts. ~~~~
<After your move 24...Bc8 White can choose among several moves (25.Qh5/25.Qg2/25.Qg4) Probably the best is 25. Qh5 and if 25...Ne3 then 26. Nf4 threatening Ng6+> Okay, <25.Qh5>

Now you propose the horrible 25...Ne3?, which is bad for the same reason that your earlier 24...Nb4 was bad: it allows Nf4. Instead, black should play the *obvious* <25...Bxf5>. Why did you think black played 24...Bc8 anyway? I assume it will continue <26.Bxf5 Rxf5>
click for larger view
You are down a full bishop with nothing to show for it. If you don't want to exchange queens, you're probably looking at 27.Qg4 and then 27...Rg5 blows your attack apart, and soon black will be on the offensive. ~~~~~
<But, clearly YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT! The point is that I suggested 16. Nxe6! as a better Knight sac than 16.

That's the line we've been following since then, and you have white simply losing  . ~~~~
So now you want to go back and find fault with <16.Nxf7>, claiming that black could have won after <16...Qxf7 17.Rxg6 Qxf4 18.Kb1> by playing <18...Nc4>. You add the comment: <after 19. Rdg1 Rf7 20.Rxh6 Kf8! Black wins>. Unfortunately, just about everything in your comment is wrong. After <18...Nc4?>, white activates his knight with attack on black's queen via <19.Ne2 Qe3> (trying to prevent Qxh3) <20.Rg3> and black is toast.

<So, my move is for sure better, because it avoids the loss of f4 pawn and the strong White's attack. But it seems you want to stubbornly refuse to admit this, just for the sake of denying.> I'll be willing to admit it when you demonstrate it. And if you're right, this is your chance to show your superior analysis. Go for it! But so far you are producing false claims and losing lines. ~~~~
<So, I cannot waste my time with you. Keep your ideas and find someone else to discuss with.> Yep. I've been expecting you to run away like an embarrassed child, and there it is. |
