Sep-30-20 | | Walter Glattke: 24.-Rxe2+ 25.Kxe2 Re8+26.Kf3 QxR or 26.Kd3?? Qc3# 26.Kf1?? Ne3+ and NxQ, and what FSR said, to Stockfish necessary today. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: No matter what suffering might follow, White had to Castle at move 16, 17, or 18 (would have played 16.0-0 myself). Ugly indeed, but if you don’t die fast, you might live. |

Sep-30-20 | | agb2002: Black has a knight for a bishop and a pawn.
White threatens Qxd5.
Black can make the most of the pinned rook with 24... Rxe2+ 25.Kxe2 Re8+: A) 26.Kd1 Nc3+ (better than Ne3+) 27.Qa3#.
B) 26.Kd3 Qc3#.
C) 26.Kf1 Qxd2 (or Ne3+) wins.
D) 26.Kf2 Qxd2+ wins decisive material and keeps the attack. E) 26.Kf3 Qxd2 as in D. |

Sep-30-20 | | Mendrys: 22. Qxe6 is move that Zhang should have seen was really bad. 22. Qc3 and she would have been in much better shape. |
|
Sep-30-20 | | Brenin: Yesterday we had a Wednesday-level POTD on a Tuesday; to rectify matters, today we get a Tuesday-type POTD on a Wednesday. The sac 24 ... Rxe2+, exploiting the pin on the R on d2, is obvious, leading after 25 Kxe2 Re8+ almost immediately to mate or massive material gain. White pays the price for making 10 Q moves out of the first 23. |

|
Sep-30-20 | | TheaN: <24....Rxe2+ 25.Kxe2 Re8+> is not too complicated. I actually took longer to see if I missed something. Black wins back the rook on d2 with best play by White <26.Kf3 Qxd2 -+> and comes a piece up. |

 | | pittpanther: Quick comment. If white plays 26 Kd1 then 26....Nc3 followed by 27....Qa3 which is mate which is even better than winning the queen with 26....Ne3. |
|
Sep-30-20 | | Walter Glattke: How not to play chess, 8.dxc5 opens many lines for black, the essential mistake, I think. |
|
Sep-30-20 | | Walter Glattke: No, I thought for exd5, my mistake. |

 | | eternaloptimist: I solved this puzzle faster than I thought I would! The fact that I saw the ♘ fork threat on the ♔ & ♕ was 1 of the main reasons for that. Also I saw that if 26. ♔d3 then ...♕c3#. I’m 3 for 3 this week so far. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Thought this looked familiar; no credit for me. The game illustrates the importance of castling as a developing move. After 13.Rd1, White has 5 pieces developed vs. 2 Knights for Black, plus a castled King. However, Black has better quality development because his King has found sanctuary. Still think White would have done better to castle at 16, 17 or 18. |
