Jul-25-17 | | saturn2: ..Rf2+ is not only the move to save black's queen but also to win the white queen two moves later. |

I went with 30. ...Rf2+ (-:
Sorry I couldn't pass that one up. |

Jul-25-17 | | jith1207: <*&^%$
I went with 31. ... Qf3# ....>
However, I like that idea as well. If you play 31...Bc8, White queen is forced to move somewhere, which makes g4 clear for LSB. 32...Bg4# Same mate with LSB, rather... |

Jul-25-17 | | morfishine: <30...Rf2+> wins: 31.Bxf2 Qxf2+ 32.Kd3 and now <32...Nc5+> forks the White Queen ***** |
|
Jul-25-17 | | jith1207: sorry, these must have been 30...Bc8 and 31...Bg4# |
|
Jul-25-17 | | jith1207: ha ha, 31...Bg4 is not a mate, white can play Nf3, which brings back <stacase>'s Qf3# |
|
Jul-25-17 | | Iwer Sonsch: I got 30...Rf2+ 31.Bxf2 Qxf2+ 32.Kd3 Nc5+ 33.Kc3, and then decided to search on for serious mate threats after 33...Qe3+ while overlooking (for a while) the simple 33...Nxe6. |

Jul-25-17 | | The Kings Domain: Tougher than its "Easy" description, I first thought of the text move but missed the knight fork on c5 so decided on 30) ... Qf4 instead. Good game. |
|
Jul-25-17 | | malt: After 32.Kd3 Rf8 33.Rh3 (33...Nc5+)33...Bb2 looks good |
|
Jul-25-17 | | zb2cr: The threat of the White Bishop on the Black Queen must be dealt with. How very nice that the Rook check 30. ... Rf2+ does that. White is forced into 31. Bxf2, Qxf2+; 32. Kd3, Nc5+. The Knight fork wins the Queen, leaving Black up by Q vs. R+P. |

Jul-25-17 | | takchess: This is what I got, let's see....
30...Rf2+
31 Bxf2 QXf2+
32 Kd3 Nc5+
33 king moves to c3 or c4 ,Nxe6 capturing the queen
There could be a mate in here but Queen capture bailout seems safest |
|
Jul-25-17 | | Pasker: Wasted some time looking for a checkmate. Didn't even think about anything less than that since its tuesday right? |
|

 | | kevin86: Black will mate quickly. |
|
Jul-25-17 | | alphee: Well, this one was a gift ... |
|
Jul-25-17 | | takchess: I"m curious. If black did not play the Knight fork and gave white a tempo to make an unforced move; Does white have a perpetual or win here ? |
|

 | | drollere: the N is the soul of chess. everything else is just a glorified shuffle puzzle. once i saw that the K only had one flight square after Qxf2+, the N fork popped to view. no, i did not see the "mate in 9" with Qg3+ -- not from the puzzle position. but with a R in reserve, the B pair and a Q in the white ranks, the white P's will quickly fall and the R's will be fat targets for the B's. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: <malt> <After 32.Kd3 Rf8 33.Rh3 (33...Nc5+)33...Bb2 looks good> Interesting position.
FWIW 33...Bc5 works also.
 click for larger viewThe knight has no decent flight squares. If 34 Nf5, for example, then 34...Bb4 (threatening 35...Nc5#) works.  click for larger view |
|
Jul-25-17 | | ChessHigherCat: Nc3+ and white has the choice between 31. Bxc3 Rf2# or 31. Kd2 Rf2+ 32. Bxf2 Qxf2 33. Kd3 Nc5+ at least wins the queen, but I'm probably missing a mate |
|
Jul-25-17 | | swclark25: Agreed with <agb2002> thru moves 33. Then, assuming White takes Black Knight with
34)Nxe6 Rc8+
Queen, Rook, Bishop can keep checking and taking pieces with mate to follow... |

 | | gawain: This one practically plays itself if you first try the forcing moves ...Rf2+ then ...Qxf2+ and--no quick mate--there is a fork to win the white queen. Not bad. |
