| Apr-09-12 | | BadKnight: not a queen sac, exceptional for a monday. |
|
| Apr-09-12 | | lostlink: The puzzle was pretty easy. It is a Monday after all. Looking through the game, I was trying to figure out the reasoning behind black's 16th move: 16 .. Kf8 Was it just to get the King out of the center of the board, and he liked the rook where it was? |

| Apr-09-12 | | zb2cr: Rook sacrifice to start up a mate in two instead of Queen sacrifice for a Monday! How exciting! 38. Rh8+, Nxh8; 39. Qg7#. |

 | | Oxspawn: <Zkid:> <38. Qh4?? Nxh4 39. Rxh4 Re3+ 40. Kb2 Rg3 would be very distressing for white.>
Ah. Yes. indeed. Zkid. I am undone.
41. Rh8 Rg8 Sound of grinding teeth.
Mind you, after Qf4, there is no compulsion on black to take it (black's aims being restricted to losing without taking the white queen!)
The amazing thing about this position is the chains on the black queen. How many free moves would black need to get it into play....? |

| Apr-09-12 | | M.Hassan: <sevenseaman>: Unfortunately, I don't know French. I showed the prit out of your message to a girl in our office (a good looking one!) who said she knows a little French and she translated it as follows: On the contrary, all I could say, for me a hectic Monday! Sir! you attached Monday to Tuesday Is this the right translation of your message? and by attaching Monday to Tuesday, do you mean that the puzzle is worth for Tuesday? (I don't think so). If you saw this message and replied to it, can you also let me know how you can answer a part of someone's message in this site?. I fully type it and put it in red and then answer it in black lettering. Is there a quicker way to do so?. Thanks in advance. |

| Apr-09-12 | | PinnedPiece: <M.Hassan: quicker way?> Place your mouse cursor above the first word of the message you would like to copy. In anormal browser the cursor should look tall, thin and like a capital I. If not, get a different browser. Because you should be able to now click down and hold the left mouse button (IBM-style mouse) and then move the cursor down along the parts of the message you want to copy. You should see a reversed color highlight when doing this action. Press both Ctrl+C keys on your keyboard (or right-click mouse and select Copy). Down in the kibitz box, press ctrl+V or (right-click and select Paste). Continue with the <> around the quote. And Bob's your uncle.

[ instead of Kf8 ? ] |

| Apr-09-12 | | sevenseaman: Thanks <M.Hassan> The girl in your office (a good looking one) is correct in the translation too. I thank her for her literal accuracy. 'Attaching a Monday to a Tuesday' is a phrase in french which means getting a simple thing wrong, like buttoning up your shirt with a button too many at one end and a hole too many at the other. <Copying and pasting a part message>. 'Left-Click and slide mouse (delicately) along the line (or lines) you wanna copy. They come on in a different color. Leave the mouse now - just take your hand off it. ( w/o clicking, if you happen to re-click, the selection will return to normal color, and you will have a redo). Now 'ctrl-c' and 'ctrl-v' as usual (or cut and paste). Any doubts, you are welcome to my forum, 'A close Call'. You get there by left-clicking my handle or avatar. Thanks, your curiosity was inspiring. I just happened to be very awkward with the puzzle. Most Punjabis do not mind if the joke turns out to be on themselves. 'Thats life', they say, unrattled. |

<38.?>
Material: Black up 2♙
Candidates: Qxg6, <[Rh8†]> It's always striking that when GMs are pawns behind it is because they're mating two moves later. When I'm pawns behind I'm pawns behind. Unfair. <38.Rh8† Nxh8 39.Qg7‡ 1-0> |
