Apr-03-12  Clodhopper: The winning idea behind the rook "sac" isn't the fork (which only regains material parity) - it is the creation of the passed pawn. That is what wins the game.
Apr-03-12  Capabal: This is way too much work for a Tuesday. The fork is immediately obvious but there are too many possible lines to examine, mainly because 34…Kh7 is just as playable, probably better, than 34...Kf8, and leads to a totally different continuation.

<33.?>

Material: Black up, ♖ vs ♘+♙

Candidates: Nh6, h6, Bxf6, <[Rxg7†]>

There are a few things I did wrong in analysing this puzzle. Checking initial material, I had the consensus Black was up a rook, not the exchange, for a pawn. White's still down, but that doesn't make the combination that urgent, Black's pieces are not well placed.

Nonetheless, finally deciding on the keymove, the foremost moveorder is simple.

<33.Rxg7† Rxg7 34.Nh6† Kf8> Kh8 just being the illogical move in this position, considering the kingside pawns will march up harrasing the king if he's in the corner.

<35.Nxf7 Rxf7> Kxf7 being a blunder and plain suicidal. However. Now, I actually went with the straightforward analysis "White's better, but it's probably a draw", putting no effort into either 36.Bxf6 and 36.g4, thinking it goes too far for a Tuesday. It somehow does, but that doesn't warrant the fact that just up to move 36, is too few for true credit in this position. White repairs the material deficit, but is clearly winning.

Apr-03-12  sevenseaman: I knew Krasenko to be a high quality Polish GM. But Mateusz Bartel is brilliant young GM. Only 27 he won the European at the age of 18. He has a sizzling win against Caruana and a brilliant one against K. Sasikiran.
Apr-03-12  kevin86: Notice the pieces on g3,g7,g8,f7,and h7 at move 33-remind you of something? this week?

White wins the queen AND TWO PAWNS for a rook and bishop...And creates a passed pawn...which will queen soonest.

Apr-03-12  cyclon: 33. Rxg7+ Rxg7 ( -Qxg7 34. Nxg7 Rxg7/Kxg7 35. Bxf6/+ White also gets winning game ) 34. Nh6+ and now despite Black King having 3 moves at his disposal the basic idea is that after 34. -K- 35. Nxf7/+ Rxf7 ( or in case of 34. -Kf8 35. Nxf7 Kxf7 36. Qxf6+ Kg8 37. h6 is devastating ) 36. Bxf6, White sooner or later - in this position - wins material or mates Black. Whether this is an "easy" puzzle or not, is another question.
Apr-03-12  MarkFinan: <chrisowen> nailed it once again, lol...

You did better than me buddy, i thought it started with h6?

Apr-03-12  BlackSheep: I think on seeing what was required (finally) I took way to long to find it as it was so obvious that g7 is the weak point and its destruction is going to be the only way to blast the position open immediately <David2009> I must have made a meal of it then because I didnt quickly finish him off and I didnt particularly find it harder/easier than most days but I do enjoy the link though as I am fastidiously lazy and would never bother to set it up for myself .

w.

May be only daydreams, if you have a mind you'll dream.

Apr-03-12  dragon player: This move looks good:

33.Rxg7! Rxg7

If
33...Qxg7
34.Nxg7 Kxg7

winning material

34. Nh6+

also winning material

Time to check.

--------

Yes, right

2/2

Tomorrow I will not be there, I'll solve the puzzle thursday

  Penguincw: For some reason, I see this as being easier than yesterday's. 1/2 this week.
Apr-03-12  Patriot: White is up a pawn for the exchange.

33.Rxg7+ Rxg7 34.Nh6+ Kf8 35.Nxf7 Rxf7

  Oxspawn: Arrived late, in the final hour of the day and no time, so bash straight in 33 Rxg7+
If Qxg7 then
Nxg7 Rxg7
Qxf6 wins a queen and two pawns for a rook and a knight and leaves black open to the queen and bishop. If Rxg7 then Nh6+ wins the queen.
Apr-03-12  1stboard: If I were black I would play 36 R(a)a7 first instead of d5 which was actually played. Double the rooks first which would prevent whits h7 later .....
Apr-03-12  Whitehat1963: But what happens if 36...Ra7? I think black may be better after all.
Apr-03-12  rhickma4: The theme is obvious: it just takes time to see that the final position is actually a clear win.

33.Rxg7+ Rxg7 34.Nh6+ Kf8 35.Nxf7 Rxf7 36.Bxf6
White has a Q + 3P for 2R, and can readily push the K side pawns trough.

Apr-03-12  sevenseaman: <Whitehat & Istboard> It does not look so.

35. Nxf7 Rxf7
36. Bxf6 Raa7
37. h6 Raa7
38. Qf5

creates all sorts of problems for Black.

Apr-03-12  1stboard: sevenseaman: <Whitehat & Istboard> It does not look so.

Black could play 38 R(a)d7 and see what happens .....

Apr-03-12  stst: No immediate kill, but the Bk Q will be lost:
33.Rxg7+ Rxg7 (what else, if Kxg7, 34. RxQ etc.)
34.Nh6+ forks K-any move,
35.NxQ(f7)
Apr-04-12  sevenseaman: <1stboard> White delays promotion and simply advances the g pawn to attack f7 R. Black's 'a' or 'd' Ps will not trouble White. In case you doubt it, give me your line.
