 | | Benzol: This is the stem game which Artur Yusupov used defeat Canadian player Morrison See Yusupov vs N Morrison, 1981 Nezhmetdinov was a highly original player and his games deserve study. |

| Oct-11-07 | | Abaduba: It seems that in all three games of this line in the database, Black plays 10. … ♗d7. What does White play against the simple 10. … ♕xa1 ? For example, 11. dxc6 ♔d8 12. ♘f3 (12. ♗f4 e5 13. ♘f3 ♕b2+) … ♕f6 14. ♖d1+ (14. ♗f4 e5; 14. e5 ♕e6) and I can't see a way to stop the king escaping via d8-c7-b8. Or 11. ♗xc6 bxc6 12. ♕xc6+ ♔d8 ♕xa8 13. ♕xc1 and I don't see much compesation for the piece. Is this a solution for Black, or (more likely) am I missing something? |

| | al wazir: <Abaduba: What does White play against the simple 10. … Qxa1 ?> I'll give that a shot. How about 11. Nf3 ? The threat of Bxc6+ is real, and 11...Qf6 doesn't help because of 12. e5. If 11...Bd7, then 12. dxc6. If 11...Bg7, then 12. Bxc6+ Kf8 13. e5, threatening d6. (If 13...Bxe5, then 14. Bh6+ wins the ♕.) |
|
| Oct-24-07 | | Cyphelium: <Abaduba & al wazir> I think Abaduba's line might indeed win. After 11. dxc6 ♔d8 12. ♘f3 ♕f6 13. ♖d1+ ♔c7 I suggest 14. ♗f4+ and now A/ 14.- ♔b6 and black has to give the queen to avoid mate after 15. ♗e5 ♕e6 16. ♗c4 threatening 17. ♖b1+. B/ 14.- ♕xf4 15. cxb7 and now 15.- ♗xb7 loses to 16. ♕a5+ ♔b8 17. ♕d8+ ♗c8 18. ♗c6 with ♖b1 coming. Instead, 15.- ♔xb7 might be trickier, but white seems to win with 16. ♗a6+ ♔c7 (16.- ♔b6 17. ♕b5+ ♔c7 18. ♕xc5+ ♔c8 19. ♕c8 mate or 16.- ♔b8 17. ♕b5+ which essentialy is the same) 17. ♕b5+ ♔c7 18. ♕xc5+ ♔b8 19. ♕xc8 mate. I've also looked at various attempts at not taking back on b7 at move 15, but it doesn't seem to work for black. |

 | | offramp: Move 15 is so early for a double-rook sacrifice. Is there any earlier? One of those Réti-Euwe games might have been sooner than move 15. |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | Infohunter: <offramp>: It was at move 14 in this game: Euwe vs Reti, 1920. |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | dick50: A great game. Black Queen greedily grabs both White Rooks and goes out of play. White ignores Both Black Rooks and focuses on Black King. |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | LJLMETAL: That is a nice mating attack! |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | patzer2: For today's Sunday puzzle, I picked 13. Nf3.
After 13. Nf3 it would be a mistake for the Queen to grab the Rook with 13...Qxa1?, as White wins after 14. Bxd7+ Rxd7 15. Rd1  (position below). 
click for larger viewHowever, after 13. Nf3, I overlooked 13...Qd3+! (position below). 
click for larger viewThe sham Queen sacrifice allows Black to force a draw by repetition after 14. Ke1 Qc3+ 15. Ke2 Qd3+ 16. Ke1 Qc3+ 17. Ke2 = (draw). If White accepts the Queen sham sacrifice with 14. Kxd3, then 14...Bxc6+ 15. Kc4 Bxa4  wins back the White Queen with a clear advantage for Black. So, I suppose one idea behind 13. Qb3!! is to deny Black the possibility of 13...Qd3+! with a draw in hand. |

| | al wazir: In today's puzzle white is a piece up after 12 moves. All he has to do in order to win is hold on to his advantage. So the obvious idea is just to play 13. Rb1, which prevents black from taking the ♖. Now white can hope to win immediately by playing 14. Nc3 and 15. Rd1 -- but black has 13...Qd3+! 14. Kxd3 Bxc6+. So my best idea was 13. Nf3 Qxa1 14. Bd2 Qxh1 15. Bxd7+ Rxd7 16. Ne5, and mate is unavoidable. (If instead 14...Qb2, then 15. Rd1, and the pinned ♖ must fall eventually, leaving white still a piece up.) |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | torro: patzer2...thanks for your comment, all is clear now |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | erimiro1: I also failed to choose 13.Nf3 and that is the challenge ot today's puzzle. |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | M.Hassan: I did not see 13.Qb3 which is the best move that White can do to win. The following is the solution with the help of Chessmaster: 13.Qb3 Qxa1
14.Bb2 Qb1
15.Bxh8 Qxb3
16.Bxd7+ Rxd7
17.axb3 Rb7
18.Nf3 Rxb3
19.Ra1 Rb7
Still White is a piece up for two pawns. |

| | offramp: <Infohunter: <offramp>: It was at move 14 in this game: Euwe vs Reti, 1920.> ...And it was move 12 in Reti vs Euwe, 1920. That's pretty quick work! |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | agb2002: White has one knight for one pawn.
Black threatens 13... Qxa1 and 13... Qd3+ 14.Ke1 (14.Kxd3 Bxc6+ recovers the queen and the piece) 14... Bg7. The only option I can find is 13.Qb3 Qxa1 (13... Qxb3 14.Bxd7+) 14.Bb2 Qb1 15.Bxh8 (15.Bxd7+ Rxd7 16.Bxh8 Qxe4+) 15... Qxb3 16.Bxd7+ Rxd7 17.axb3 f6 18.e5 Kf7 19.exf6 exf6 20.g4 h6 21.h4 and it seems that Black cannot trap the bishop much longer. |

| Aug-25-13 | | engmaged: <Infohunter: <offramp>: It was at move 14 in this game: Euwe vs Reti, 1920.> WOW! Reti won Euwe twice with a double rook sac in the same year!! very hard to believe!

Well, that's 3 great players to be unable to pattern your game after. |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | bubuli55: Totally missed it. I had 13. Rb1 to start |
|
| Aug-25-13 | | RandomVisitor: The problems for black begin with the awkward 7...Nc6 (7...Bd7 was better). After 7...Nc6:

[+0.39] d=24 8.d5 a6 9.Be2* Na7 10.Nf3 Nb5 11.Bb2 Bg7 12.e5 Nc7 13.c4 b5 14.0-0 0-0 15.Qd2 Rb8 16.Rfd1 Bf5 17.Rac1 bxc4 18.Bxc4 Be4 19.Bc3 Bxf3 20.gxf3 Nb5 21.Bb2 *note that Rybka4.1 gives black some compensation for the exchange after 9.Qa4 axb5 10.Qxa8 Ne5 |

| Aug-25-13 | | FairyPromotion: <Infohunter> <offramp> Another game where the rooks are sac'd by move 12, and this time it's followed by a queen sac on move 13! E Canal vs NN, 1934 |
