In a stunning development, <chrisowen> actually posted a complete sentence that everybody could understand, after months of perplexing and confusing wordplay. The line is very close to "The Way We Were" by Barbra Streisand: ♪ "Could it be that it was all so simple then?" ♫ |

37. ... Rd2! as a response to 37.g4. After that white could only delay the inevitable. |

| Oct-10-11 | | Once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o... Aha - the plot thickens. With the ampersand &£s or in UK English "&#" I think we are into the ASCII extended character set, aka the unicodes. It's the question you've been asking yourself all your life - what is the matrix? The question you've got to ask yourself is do you take the red pill or the blue pill? Take one pill, and you wake up the next day and remember none of this. Take the other pill, and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. |

 | | scormus: morfishine: <scormus> & <LIFE Master AJ> I think one of the sub-themes is that white can't trap the knight; I must admit when I "solved" it I only saw the first few moves but when I played it through I saw the neat way BN evades W's attempts to capture. And I realised that to solve it properly you should see that. Hence my OMG at the 7 moves. Day started so well, I did a "fiendish" Soduku, sort of got the POTD. After that all downhill :( |

| Oct-10-11 | | morfishine: <scormus> BTW: For what its worth, I have noticed you've been doing very well on these puzzles. Keep it up! |

|
| Aug-17-23 | | Brenin: 27 Rc1 was a blunder: 27 ... Qxc1+ 28 Nxc1 Rxc1+ 29 Kh2 Rh1+ 30 Kxh1 Ng6+ 31 Kg1 Nxe2+ 32 Kf2 Nc1 and Black has won a piece. |
|
| Aug-17-23 | | Mayankk: Easier than yesterday. The first thought is that after 27 ... Qxc1+ 28 Nxc1 Rxc1+ 29 Kh2, Black may try forcing a checkmate by Rdd1 and Rh1#. But it has a weak back rank and so no time to play Rdd1 without h6 first. But then we have the alternative tactics- 29 ... Rh1+ 30 Kxh1 Ng3+ 31 Kg1 Nxe2 and we are a minor piece ahead. Should be winning from here on. |
|
| Aug-17-23 | | jrredfield: I'm going with the fairly obvious, echoing what others have said: 27 ... Qxc1+
28 Nxc1 Rxc1+
29 Kh2 Rh1+
30 Kxh1 Ng3+
31 Kg1 Nxe2+
32 Kf2 Nc1
At this point, the pawns are essentially even and Black needs to utilize his extra piece to force White's hand. I don't see a quick path to victory, just a hard fought end game. |
|
| Aug-17-23 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I believe that this line was followed: 27...Qxc1+ 28. Nxc1 Rxc1+ 29. Kh2 Rh1+ 30. Kxh1 Ng3+ 31. Kh2 Nxe2... with an extra ♘. |

| Aug-17-23 | | agb2002: White threatens Rxc4.
The knight is very close to the white pieces. This suggests 27... Qxc1+ 28.Nxc1 Rxc1+ 29.Kh2 (29.Qf1 Rxf1+ 30.Kxf1 Nd2+ ends up a rook ahead) 29... Rh1+ (29... Rdd1 30.Rb8+ and mate in two) 30.Kxh1 Ng3+ 31.Kg1 Nxe2+ 32.Kf2 (32.Kf1 Ng3+ and 33... Ne4) 32... Nc1: A) 33.Rb6 Nxa2 34.Rxa6 Nc3 35.Rxe6 g6 - + [n vs P]. B) 33.Ra3 Nd3+ 34.Kd2 Nc5 wins decisive material. C) 33.Rb2 Nd3+ wins. |
