| Jul-10-12 | | corvedale: This reminds me of the miss by anna zotonszki against irena krush in the US champs |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | romni: I thought it was 24.Nxe6, which I think also wins, but 24.Qxg7+ wins a rook! (and not just a piece!)
The old adage is true "once you have found a good move...look for a better one!" (something I have a tendency to forget...too many blitz games I guess!) |

| Jul-10-12 | | Oxspawn: I don’t see any swanky mates here but each player has a pistol to the head of the opposing queen. White can use a check to gain substantial material.
24. Qxg7+ Kxg7 (forced)
25. Bxc7 and white is a rook to the good.
It might be better to play
25. Nxe6 + fxe6
26. Bxc7
Since that removes more pieces and so increases white’s comparative advantage. It also seem to make the black b-file and e-file pawns vulnerable while white can invade the seventh rank with a rook. I would be happy to play on with white .... |

<24.?>
Material: Black up, ♙
Candidates: Qxg7†, Rxe6, Nxe6, Qxh7†...? oh wait that's the deal <[Qxg7†]> I initially spotted Qxg7† but had the idea that it had something to do with the fork on e6, and completely missed the Black queen is already en prise. I'd call that simple chess blindness, looking so obviously for more than a zwischenzug+capture. It is not that the fork is not useful, but it ain't the winning manouver, White can come up a rook with: <24.Qxg7† Kxg7 25.Nxe6†> looking through the kibitzes I'm surprised that most actually do not mention this move. Of course, there is absolutely no need for it: in this case White is a rook up and the extra bishop will not wreak so much havoc for White, but what if the advantage is only an exchange or two pawns? Then you definitely want to do this before capturing on c7. <25....fxe6 26.Bxc7  > rounding this up should be easy to say the least. |

| Jul-10-12 | | Abdel Irada: <Plain vanilla>
This problem left me feeling a distinct sense of "Is that all there is?" Over the board, of course, I'd take the win without a second thought, but in a puzzle, I've been spoiled enough to hope — and look briefly — for something more interesting than the text. Anyway — *Yawn* — with 24. ♕xg7+ (which seems too obvious to merit an exclamation point), White wins a whole rook. The most forcing continuation is 24. ...♔xg7; 25. ♘xe6+, fxe6; 26. ♗xc7 . The ensuing endgame is too trivial to discuss. |

| Jul-10-12 | | eblunt: I thought this was going to be another one of those "I've seen ♕xg7 which wins clearly, but I've missed the cute mate" scenarios where I vainly try and argue that my solution is as good and I'd play it OTB. Pleasantly surprised then to find there was no cute mate I missed :) |

| Jul-10-12 | | LoveThatJoker: <24. Qxg7+ Kxg7 25. Nxe6+ fxe6 26. Bxc7> 1-0 LTJ |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | Poulsen: In any case: black's Ng4 was simply a desperado move since he was about to lose the knight - and the game. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | zb2cr: Quick win of a Rook by 24. Qxg7+, Kxg7; 25. Bxc7. This is simple. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | Patriot: Black threatens 24...Nxh6 or 24...Qxf4.
Therefore, 24.Qxg7+ looks correct. 24...Kxg7 25.Bxc7, winning a rook . |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | Patriot: I like the zwischenzug many of you mentioned: 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7. That's good chess! |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | whiteshark: <24.Qxg7+ Kxg7 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7> and that's it. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | poszvald: Really easy!
Qxg7+ Kxq7
Nxe6+ fxe6
Bxc7 |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | Deji: Rook down! |
|
Jul-10-12
 | | benveniste: Free Rook! Play Free Rook! |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | kevin86: White gives up his queen for a rook and the takes the adverse queen for free! Desperado! |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | hedgeh0g: An obvious exploitation of a clear blunder. I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | PinnedPiece: Possibly the C division in the Olympiad? |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | BlackSheep: Qxg7+,Nxe6+,Bxc7 1-0 , seemed a bit simplistic for a Wednesday I thought , then it came to me . |

|
| Jul-10-12 | | hrobert5: <24.Qxg7+ Kxg7 25.Nxe6+ fxe6 26.Bxc7> Its all good after that! |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | dragon player: This is winning:
24.Qxg7+ Kxg7
25.Bxc7
but is it the solution. It seems too simple to me. But I wouldn't know
what else to do.
Time to check.
------------
Right, I guess.
2/2 |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | BarcelonaFirenze: I don't think this is a real puzzle... Too obvious... |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | EXIDE: Is todays position considered a puzzle? No theme to say it is, just winning a piece. |
|
| Jul-10-12 | | Calar: <hedgeh0g: I find it hard to believe a 2372 player would make such a gross error, time pressure not withstanding.> In that case - check this game, starting with White's 23rd move. I Krush vs A Zatonskih, 2012 |
