Feb-13-12		Travis Bickle: What a dynamic game and an awesome mate!

Feb-13-12		DarthStapler: But I did not shoot Tiviakov...

May-23-13		Gilmoy: <DarthStapler> You played Johannes de Leeuw, and de Leeuw won

May-23-13		perfidious: <Gilmoy>: I'd much prefer Lisa De Leeuw as an opponent.....

Dec-19-16		Phony Benoni: 'Tis the season for giving, so both side wrap up their queens and throw them at the other. However, only one receives Christmas Joy.

Dec-19-16		Penguincw: < Feb-13-12 Penguincw: This pun perfectly with the game. The last name of the white player is <Anastasia>n, and he delivers an <Anastasia> mate. > Yeah, it does. Pretty cool though. And yes, I got this Monday puzzle. 1/1 this week, and month technically, I think.

Dec-19-16		lost in space: I love Mondays! 41. Qxh7+ Kxh7 (only move) 42. Rh3+ Qh4 43. Rxh4#

Dec-19-16		zb2cr: Thought I remembered this one. Saw it before on May 14, 2007. Mate in 3, beginning with 41. Qxh7.

Dec-19-16		YouRang: Easy Monday 41.? click for larger view Funny, my first thought was to deflect the black queen with 41.Re6, expecting 41...Qf7 (41...Qxe6? 42.Qg7#) 42.Nxg6+, and this does end up with a winning advantage. But I figured that this was surely too complex for a Monday. Monday! Check the queen sac! Sure enough <41.Qxh7+ Kxh7 42.Rh3+ and mate next>

Dec-19-16		saturn2: The two knights dont give the black king access to the g file so let us open the h file with Qxh7 and let the rook follow.

Dec-19-16		agb2002: White has two knights for a rook and a pawn. The knights cover all flight squares. Hence, 41.Qxh7+ Kxh7 42.Rh3#.

Dec-19-16		AlicesKnight: It's not hard .... to overlook the R, but as soon as the 3rd rank is seen, 41.Qxh7+ is clear. The Ns cover all the vital squares on the g-file and after 41...Kxh7, 42.Rh3+ mates next move.

Dec-19-16		The Kings Domain: Easy sweetie. White's build up towards the black king's demise is quite a delight. The pun's a bit strained.

Dec-19-16		gofer: <Anastasia's mate> by Anastasian! How long has he been looking for one of those!!!

Dec-19-16		morfishine: Pattern recognition leads us to <41.Qxh7+> and mate 2 moves later; a pseudo-anastasia mate with an extra Knight participating: way too much force for Black to resist *****

Dec-19-16		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		Dionysius1: Ach <gofer> you got there before me!

Dec-19-16		thegoodanarchist: Game of the Day pun: <Ashot not in the Dark>

Dec-19-16		scholes: 40 Qxh7 would have been nice tuesday puzzle

Dec-19-16		abuzic: <AylerKupp: <<abuzic> Why didn't white play the much stronger 66.e7> click for larger view Because 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+....>

Dec-19-16		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.

Dec-19-16		Willber G: <scholes: 40 Qxh7 would have been nice tuesday puzzle> Yes, well spotted!

Dec-19-16		Bubo bubo: The Monday ♕-sac is back: 41.Qxh7+ Kxh7 42.Rh3+ and mate next move.

Dec-19-16		whiteshark: Mondayish Pavlovian conditioning at work...
