| Feb-06-11 | | gofer: No Glory. Just Death!!! Oh well at least I get to live to play again... |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | gofer: I think 19 e7 is the crutial bit that I missed today. If black moves the rook then he is dead. If he accepts the loss (as crafty EGT does and simply plays h6) then the position is far from over. This is why e7 must be played before the Bxh7+ sac... |

 | | OhioChessFan: <OCF: 21. Qc2 Bishop moves 22. Qc3 and there's no hope for Black's Knight.> <JFP: After 21..Bd7 22 Qc3, 22...f6 protects the knight.> 23. Qb4+ Kg8 24. Qb3
Now the Knight and the Pawn are pinned. Black's position is hopeless.

And both Black central Pawns will be back in the box soon. |

| | OhioChessFan: <Anatoly: <Jimfromprovidence> is correct. In the line 19...g6 20.exf8=Q+ Kxf8 21.Qc2 Bd7 does not promise more than two pawns.
For example- 22.Qc3 f6 23.Be4 dxe4 24.Rxd7 Ra7 25.Rxa7 Qxa7 26.Bxe5 fxe5 27.Qxe5 and White will notch the other e-pawn soon enough. Damn. I cannot find a pretty win.>
Ahead a d and e Pawn is a win. |

Feb-06-11
| | OhioChessFan: I might like 23. Be4 in <Anatoly> line better. Both end up the same place, with Black's central Pawns indefensible. |

| Feb-06-11 | | David2009: Kaidanov vs J Donaldson, 1992 postscript: After reading the kibitzes, I tried out <OhioChessFan>'s suggestion <21.Qc2> in reply to 20...h6 and duly won a Pawn against Craft EGT with the sequence
16.Nxd5 exd5 17.e6 Nde5 18.Rxc6 Bxc6 19.e7 h6 20.exf8Q+ Kxf8 21.Qc2 Be8 22.Qb3 f6 23.Qxd5 Ra7 24.Bxe5 Qxe5 25.Qxe5 fxe5 26.Kf1 Bf7 27.b3 a5 28.Bc4 (28. Bb5 does not work: after Rc7 Black attacks the B which cannot be supported, so I have to accept a weakening of my Pawns: Crafty is very forgiving and lets me start over whenever I want) Bxc4+ 29.bxc4 Rc7 30.Rc1 Rc6 31.Ke2 Ke7 to leave (White, 32?)
click for larger viewI struggled to make progress in this position. There are a number of draws by repetition (and also over-ambitious losing sequences for White) but I finally found a temporary Pawn sacrifice: 32.Rc2 e4 33.f4 b5 34.Kd1! Rxc4 35.Rxc4 bxc4 36.Kc2 Kd6 37.Kc3 Kc5 38.g4 g5 39.f5 a4 40.a3 1-0. If Black plays 34...bxc4 I have 35 Rd2 cutting off the Black King and peparing to round up the Pawn on c4. Nevertheless, this gives Black better chances IMO, though I have not tried to defend the position coulours-reversed against the EGT to see if I can draw it. <OhioChessFan: 21. Qc2 is just as easy a win against h6 as g6> Change that to 'difficult' :) The Crafty link is given in my earlier post (referenced above). There may be better moves for both sides in this sequence. |

| Feb-06-11 | | alachabre: David, feeling free to make use of my available resources in the post-mortem line 19...h6 ... 21.Qc2, both SOS and Ruffian recommend 22.Be2 instead of 22.Qb3. They also "think" 21...Bd7 is better than 21...Be8, but still give White significant advantage (almost two points). From a human point of view, I like keeping the Queen on the board as White in this position. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Old Wolf: To the people saying it was easy - did they see e7 from the problem position? The move order has to be exact and any other sequence actually loses. Just wading in with the sacrifices is no good. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | Old Wolf: I'm wondering how an IM can play such a horrible move as 6..e6 in the opening? It shows such a lack of positional understanding. Black's position out of the opening is cramped and passive and I don't know why anybody would knowingly go for that. |

 | | Check It Out: 15...Qb8 appears to allow a whole string of smashing moves that obliterate black's position:
16.Nxd5, 17.e6, 18.Rxc6, 20.Bxh7, 23.Bxg7 (and the hits just keep on coming!) Nice attacking game. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | stst: 21:17, but Black may not have the fate as Steelers.
Yet after 20.BxP+, Black need not take this B,..Kh8, then the most fierce White could do is 21.Qh5 Pg6, 22.BxP (dis.cl.+) Kg7, 23.Qh7+ Kf6, 24.BxP RxP and White does not have immediate mating net ==> Black can at least extend the game (No time limit like the XLV game!) ... Suggestion: new to Kibitz, late, but like to have a prize-enticing puzzle corner... postpone the solution to at least the next day to create some anxiety and excitement. May accumulate points and award those who answered quick and right. Yet how can we guard off friends with engines (Fritz, Rybka, etc.?) Thanks, stst |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | stst: good site, but suggest to update your Kibitz corner so that latest kibitz comments can be seen right here below the game. Thanks!! |

| Feb-06-11 | | rapidcitychess: <stst> In you preferences, you can switch it to that mode. |

| Feb-06-11 | | bubuli55: Category insane gave this puzzle away. Nxd5 is the only insane move. e6 is a logical continuation. Then Bxh7 is playable only after Rxc6. The fact that this is a puzzle within a puzzle I assume makes it insane. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | DarthStapler: I got the first two moves |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | M.Hassan: "Insane" White to play 16.?
Materials are even.
I did the following line:
16.Nxd5 exd5
17.Bxh7+ Kxh7
18.Qh5+ Kg8
19.Rxd6 Ncxe5
20.Rxd7 f6 <if 20...Nxd7 21.Bxb8>
21.Bxe5 Qxe5
22.Qxe5 fxe5
23.Rxb7
White is up by 2 pawns and may win!
Time to check

Not Quite. Looking forward for tomorrow night |

| Feb-06-11 | | sevenseaman: Solvers who got merely the first move, 16.Nxd5 should be quite satisfied. This is the only 'insane' part of the puzzle, the rest flows. |
|
| Feb-06-11 | | EXIDE: With 19 ..,h6, the best I could achieve was a draw. A difficult position to analyze over the board, way above my capabilities. |
|
| Feb-07-11 | | Patriot: I saw this just a few minutes before midnight and guessed 16.Nxd5 after I saw that 16.Bxh7+ fails. I never worked it out except 16...exd5 17.e6 but didn't think about 17...Nde5 in that short time. This isn't exactly solving it. |
