| May-04-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: What the others said.
Except first I confirmed that I wasn't going to find a mate (no realistic way to cover f7, among other challenges) before I turned my attention to material gain. |
|
| May-04-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Actually, White wins a bit more than the exchange, as Rxb4 can eliminate Black's defender of d6. |

| May-04-21 | | agb2002: Black threatens gxf4.
The black rook lacks mobility. Therefore, 39.Bc7: A) 39... Rd6 40.Rxb4 wins a piece.
B) 39... Nc8 40.Bxb6 Nxb6 41.Rc7 wins decisive material. |

| May-04-21 | | Dr. Funkenstein: yeah this was an odd one....Bc7 jumps out after you realize the rook has no retreat squares but I couldn't see any reason why that one mover didn't work...since it was a puzzle I spent some time looking at Rxb4 first then Bc7, but came to the conclusion that the bishop isn't defending anything in the position and that Bc7 wins material right away |
|
| May-04-21 | | Brenin: Yesterday's POTD was easy for a Monday; this one is even easier. Has this daily challenge morphed into Blunder OTD? |
|
| May-04-21 | | opus: Resign, resign, resign: time trouble?

|
| May-04-21 | | stacase: If it hadn't been for yesterday's puzzle, it would have been a long while before I checked out the fact that Black's Rook had no where to go. |
|
| May-04-21 | | TheaN: I didn't respond yesterday due to the easiness (will still do) but today is even worse. <39.Bc7 +->? This and yesterday are Puzzle Rush/Storm early puzzles; useful, but not really PotD material (not by CG standards anyway). |
|
| May-04-21 | | malt: Me see's the Black rook has nowhere to go, after 39.Bc7 39...Nc8 40.B:b6 N:b6 41.Rc7 Nd7 42.R:b7 |
|
| May-04-21 | | AlicesKnight: A Monday-style one-mover; Bc7 and the R has nowhere to run; exchange goes and the game with it. |
|
| May-04-21 | | zb2cr: Black's Rook on b6 has no escape and is won by the simple 39. Bc7. |

|
| May-04-21 | | thegoodanarchist: not really a puzzle. |
|
| May-04-21 | | 1g1yy: Even after losing the exchange, white still has the isolated B pawn with Black's A and B connected. Still two minor pieces to work with, and white just got done declining to take en-pessant, so your G and H pawns yet survive. Not sure I'd resign this one just yet. |
|
| May-04-21 | | drollere: i've started using the puzzles not to look for a solution, but to examine how i look for a solution. agb2002 has been teaching, for many years, the simple approach: 1. count up the material on both sides. this shapes, but doesn't determine, the "risk portfolio" of what you can give away as a sacrifice or gambit. 2. identify all the opponent threats. i find this useful, because if forces me to look at every piece in every place, and what it is capable of. (looking at you, knights.) 3. identify all offensive opportunities, including counterthreats, discovered checks, etc. in this puzzle, the threat led to the solution Bc7. but i think the real puzzle is what comes next. what is black's best reply? the only move i could find was Nc8 to recapture the B and hope to shepherd the a pawn to promotion. |

| | chrisowen: That's it I think no? |
|
| May-04-21 | | TheaN: <1g1yy: Even after losing the exchange, white still has the isolated B pawn with Black's A and B connected.> In that case, I'd agree. However, how were you intending to achieve a and b whilst only losing the exchange, rather than the rook outright? Only d6 is defended by the bishop, and the knight can defend the rook with Nc8. After 39....Nc8 40.Bxb6 Nxb6 41.Rc7 +-, Black's losing Pb7. However, 39....Rd6 is worse <if> you spot 40.Rxb4! +-, after which Black's suddenly losing a piece. That ending is straightforward. However, even 40.Bxd6 Bxd6 41.Ne6 +- is strong enough. |
|
| May-04-21 | | ndg2: Black time trouble? Game seemed to be balanced for a rather long time. |
|
| May-04-21 | | devere: Seems like a "Monday morning" problem. |
|
| May-05-21 | | Nullifidian: Getting caught up on one I missed: 39. ♗c7 and the rook is trapped. |
