Nov-30-09		notyetagm: <TODO> Annotate Carlsen's <PIN AGAINST UNDEFENDED PIECES> variation. <Tabanus: Carlsen played 16 blitz games today: http://bnbankblitz.sjakk.no/resulta.... I watched them all. Apparently he was pleased with this game, [Event "BNbank Blitz final"] [Site "Oslo Norway"] [Date "2009.11.28"] [Round "1.6"] [White "Carlsen, Magnus"] [Black "Cmilyte, Viktorija"] [WhiteElo "2801"] [BlackElo "2480"] 1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.O-O O-O 6.c4 d6 7.Nc3 c6 8.d5 e5 9.dxe6 Bxe6 10.b3 Na6 11.Ng5 Qe7 12.Nxe6 Qxe6 13.Bb2 Rad8 14.e3 Nc5 15.Qc2 Rfe8 16.Rad1 Ng4 17.Rfe1 Qf7 18.h3 Nf6 19.b4 Nce4 20.Nxe4 Nxe4 21.Bxg7 Qxg7 22.b5 Qe5 23.bxc6 bxc6 24.Rd4 Rd7 25.Red1 h5 26.h4 Kh7 27.Qa4 Qc5 28.Rd5 Qb6 29.c5 Nxc5 30.Rxc5 Qxc5 31.Bxc6 1-0 Position after 28.Rd5! click for larger view and now 28...Qb6 29.c5!

Apr-02-19		ChessHigherCat: Much easier than yesterday's: Rxc5 QxC5 Bxc6 wins a rook

Apr-02-19		stacase: What <ChessHigherCat:> said. I spent a long time yesterday looking and looking, there were five ways to say check and only one of them worked and I missed it. Today was a walk in the park. Take the Knight and skewer the two Rooks.

Apr-02-19		ChessHigherCat: Make a good Saturday puzzle a few moves earlier 28.?? It's funny how Carlsen starts off playing a long series of common-sense moves that makes you think, Hey, I would have played exactly the same thing, then he goes wild and plunges into combinations that leave you dumbfounded

Apr-02-19		Cheapo by the Dozen: I saw quickly that White could sac the exchange to recover the pawn and exchange. Before long I realized it wasn't just an exchange White was winning back, but rather a whole rook. :)

Apr-02-19		lost in space: A wood-pusher overlooks the ranks. " --- Russian Saying Not today. I found it. Surprisingly 28. Rxc5 Qxc5 29. Bxc6 and White win a rook. 1:0

Apr-02-19		Cheapo by the Dozen: Per the engine Black would actually have had the advantage if he'd sacced the knight on Move 27. So the earliest the puzzle could have started is Move 28.

Apr-02-19		DonChalce: well, easy puzzle. thought it was Monday for a moment.

Apr-02-19		HeMateMe: Why would these two be playing?

Apr-02-19		jith1207: Viktori!! Ja! I Saw thy Lyte.

Apr-02-19		Jimfromprovidence: I see white winning, but not by a whole rook after 30.Rxc5 Qxc5 31.Bxc6 Rxe3, below. click for larger view

Apr-02-19		agb2002: White has a bishop for a knight and a pawn. Black threatens Nxa4 and cxd5. The rook on d5 blocks Bxc6 and the d-pawn blocks Rxd7. Therefore, 30.Rxc5: A) 30... Qxc5 31.Bxc6 wins decisive material. For example, 31... Rxe3 32.fxe3 Qxe3+ 33.Kh2 Qf2+ 34.Bg2 Re7 35.Rxd6 Re3 (35... Re2 36.Qc6 followed by an attack against the black king) 36.Rd7+ Kh6 37.Qf4+ Qxf4 38.gxf4 Ra3 39.Re2 + - [B vs p]. B) 30... dxc5 31.Rxd7+ (wins the knight but it's quicker than A due to the airy position of the black king) B.1) 30... Kh6 31.Qf4+ g5 32.Qxg5#. B.2) 30... Kh8 31.Qf4 followed by Qh6 wins. B.3) 30... Kg8 31.Qc4+ Kh8 32.Qf7 and mate soon.

Apr-02-19		saturn2: I saw 30. Rxc5 30..Qxc5 31. Bxc6 and white does not only get back the exchange but will be a bishop up. 30..dxc5 31. Rxd7+

Apr-02-19		saturn2: Not sure I would see 28 Rd5 in a nonblitz game.

Apr-02-19		Lambda: Am I missing something, or can black go 31...Re4 32.Bxe4 fxe4 33.Qxe4 and only be a pawn down? Which is bad, but probably not resignable just yet.

Apr-02-19		tino72: Lambda - you are missing 33.Qxd7 - that pawn on c6 is no longer there.

Apr-02-19		malt: Seen 30.R:c5 Q:c5 31.B:c6

Apr-02-19		cocker: Black's best is 31 … Rxe3, as given by <Jimfromprovidence>

Apr-02-19		ferrabraz: 29...Qb7!

Apr-02-19		saturn2: <Jimfromprovidence> I think it is never a whole rook but always a bishop. Also in your line.

Apr-02-19		zb2cr: After 30. Rxc5, Qxc5; 31. Bxc6 wins back the sacrificed Rook, leaving White up by a piece.

Apr-02-19		Otoy: I solved the puzzle.
