 | | Dionysius1: Oh my - it's a modified Anastasia's mate, and the winner's surname is a modification of Anastasia! If this is a theme I wonder how long cg.com can run it for. |

| Dec-19-16 | | abuzic: <AylerKupp: <<abuzic> Why didn't white play the much stronger 66.e7> 
click for larger viewBecause the "much stronger" 66.e7 does not lead to anything more than a draw per the Nalimov tablebases: 66...Qe5+ 67.Kg6 Qg3+ 68.Kh7 Qh4+....> |

 | | gawain: What a good puzzle! Tried Nxg6+ first. Doesn't work. When I finally thought about the queen sac on h7 it was a pleasant surprise to see that the white rook is waiting to slide between the pawns across to the h-file to deliver the coup de grace. |
|
| Dec-19-16 | | stingray0104: Funny, the player's name gave the puzzle away. |

 | | corneliussulla: Re6 is slow but wins with white up 2 knights |
|
| Oct-25-21 | | Whitehat1963: If this puzzle appeared on a Saturday or Sunday, how long would you spend trying to refute the obvious queen sac? |

 | | agb2002: White has both knights for a rook and a pawn.
The knights allow a corridor mate: 41.Qxh7+ Kxh7 42.Rh3+ and mate next. |

 | | Teyss: TGI Monday. Didn't understand the pun, thought it referred to the Tsar's daughter being shot in 1917, then looked at the puzzle, made more sense. |

 | | Once: So we have two knights doing their street mime "invisible wall" routine, a queen throwing herself on the barbed wire and a rook dancing the two step swing. Fun stuff for a Monday |
|
| Oct-25-21 | | TheaN: <Once: So we have two knights doing their street mime "invisible wall" routine, a queen throwing herself on the barbed wire and a rook dancing the two step swing.> Once strikes again. It was roughly what I was thinking, but would have never written it down like this. I have nothing to add :> |

|
| Oct-25-21 | | takebackok: Easy peasy |
|
| Oct-25-21 | | AlicesKnight: Took a number of moments to recognise that the white R has no barrier to getting to the h-file - at which point the Q-sac became obvious... also; Thanks <Once> |

| | gawain: No wonder this felt familiar! My comments from 12/19/2016 still apply. Very enjoyable puzzle. |
