ES UN JUEGO MALO, MALO
YO CREO QUE FISCHER LE DA UNA PALIZA A ESE TAL N. Yaremko! |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | zooter: missed Monday, but Tuesday seems routine (though more plies than usual) 22...Qb4+ 23.Ka1 (23.Qb2 Qxb2#; 23.cxb4 a2# unusual pattern though) Bxc3+ 24.Rxc3 (24.Qb2 Qxb2#) Qxc3+ 25.Ka1 (25.Qb2 Qxb2#) a2# Seems a bit involved though with a lot of variations, but I'm sure everybody has pretty much nailed it Time to check |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | thegoodanarchist: Seems slightly easier than yesterday's puzzle to me. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | Once: <gofer> <dakgootje> Excellent ideas! CG.com is either a ghost ship of a website or a top secret social sciences project. I'm liking it. A lot. For the first, I'm thinking a George Romero (knight of the living dead?) horror flick starring Bruce "the chin" Campbell. For the second, I'm torn between Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves in a semi-futuristic scifi actioner. Think Vanilla Sky with bishops. |

| Jun-22-10 | | cjgone: Double bishops, man are they evil. |

| Jun-22-10 | | WhiteRook48: ah yikes i missed it |

|
| Jun-22-10 | | patzer2: <Catfriend> Thanks for the correction. As <Zooter>'s post indicates you are right that 22...Qb4+! is a mate, but not a mate-in-two. If Black plays 23. Ka1, it's a mate-in-four. |

| Jun-22-10 | | Jason Frost: < Am643602: 22. Rd5 doesn't do enough... a2+ 23. Ka1 Bxc3+ 24. Qb2 Bxb2+ 25. Kxb2 White is down a Queen for a Rook while black has the passed a7 pawn as a threat.> 22. Rd5 a2+ 23. Kb2! Qb4+ 24. Kxa2 and I don't think black has anything |

 | | gawain: I just didn't see it. I was trying out 22...Bh6 to deflect the W queen and allow Qb5+ and then Qb2. But that would not have been enough. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | BOSTER: <Jim> <I missed the (now) obvious forced mate...22...Qb5>. I have to say such complication " impressed " me , because, maybe , I trust you too much. |

22. Rd5 a2+ 23. Kb2! Qb4+ 24. Kxa2 and I don't think black has anything> Black has better. 22.Rd5 Bxd5! 23.exd5 a2+ 24.Kb2! a1=Q+ 25.Qxa1 Qb4+ 26.Kc1 (or 26.Ka2 Bxc3 27.Qc1 Qa4+ 28.Qa3 Qxc2+ and mates) 26...Bxc3 27.Qa2 Bd2+ 28.Kd1 Bf4 29.c4 Qc3 30.Bd3 (an unfortunate necessity) Qc1+! 31.Ke2 Qe3+ 32.Kf1 Qxf3+ 33.Qf2 Qxh1+ 34.Ke2 Bxh2 and Black is three Pawns up. Credit Crafty End Game Trainer, not me, with this analysis. Crafty on-line link to explore the variations: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t... This on-line link can be set to any position with Crafty playing Black and is a truly remarkable free on-line resource. Enjoy! |

| Jun-22-10 | | turbo231: A very nice puzzle, I love it. Too bad i missed it. What about -bh6 checking the white queen. The white queen can take bh6 or not either way she'll be out of the picture. Or the white queen could xa3 but that's a loser also. If the queen doesn't take a3 then the black queen -b5+....... -qb4 is a lot prettier and better maybe. Time to check and see which way is better. I would guess qb4 will be the best. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | turbo231: qb4 is best. |
|
| Jun-22-10 | | RandomVisitor: Perhaps white has a better move than 8.Be3:

| Jun-23-10 | | EyesofBlue: <Sigh>.
I missed this one.... And it's only Wednesday?! |
|
| Jun-23-10 | | M.Hassan: "easy" category. Black is behind in material.
Although it is "easy", I spent a lot of time and played different lines until I arrived at a line that think it has been in the actual game.
22.......Qb5+
23.ka1 is the only square that white King can go to
if 23.Qb2 axb2 and white Queen is lost so Ka1 is a safer move
23.Ka1 Qb4 (pawn on c3 is pinned)
24.Qb1 Bxc3+
25.Rxc3 Qxc3+
26.Kb1 a2#
Time to check
Not quite, and much longer than the actual game! |
|
| May-10-12 | | Blunderdome: Came here to post some analysis I read in a book, but I guess David2009 and Crafty came up with the same thing. I recommend playing through that line. |

| May-10-12 | | Blunderdome: (His post from 6-22-10, not far below mine) |
|
| Sep-17-20 | | Chesgambit: 12.Bd4 white is a lot of tempo down |
|
| Sep-17-20 | | Chesgambit: Why white don't played Qa3 after black play Qa5 |
|
| Sep-17-20 | | Chesgambit: 8.Bg5 |
|
| Sep-17-20 | | Chesgambit: 17...Rc3?? Rd3 |
|

"Commandante Re Guerra" |

 | | GrahamClayton: Two rook sacrifices on c3 by Recuero Guerra are - one active (capturing a piece) and one passive (placing the rook on the empty square). |
