Aug-16-11  redcircle: Great game!!!Black was worse and tried to get activated with the desperate pawn sacrifice 22..e5.White went wrong with 29.Qe3 finally blundering with 32.Rd6 which was actually a not so obvious finger-slip.32..Rxd4 is fantastic.The 2 rooks with the bishop formed a very nice and unusual mating net and White should have been continuously alert not to be mated.
Aug-16-11  kevin86: White must give up the queen to avoid mate...or resign.
Aug-16-11  haydn20: I actually like white's game until 29 Qe3? 29 Bxe4 dxe4 30 b3 and white may have a decent plus. Even 32 Rxd7 Nxd7; 33 Ne2 and white has a P for the ex and a nice Bishop & could be ok.
Aug-16-11  haydn20: White's game seems to be based on attack with the hP. No idea why he didn't pursue it more vigorously.
Aug-16-11  rilkefan: <29 Bxe4 dxe4 30 b3 and white may have a decent plus. Even

I also wondered about Bxe4 at some point. After 32.Rxd7 Nxd7 33.Ne2 though ... Rc2 looks kind of crushing to me.

Aug-16-11  haydn20: <rilkefan> 32 Rxd7 Nxd7; 33 Ne2 Rc2; 34 Qe7 holds maybe? BTW Rilke as in the Duino Elegies?
Aug-16-11  ColeTrane: <haydn20> I too was expecting more hP attack,
Aug-16-11  WhiteRook48: that is an awesome way to show that no, queens are not all.
Aug-16-11  Nullifidian: 40... ♖d7! is a beautiful and winning move, but Black could have won faster with 40... ♔f8!. It's an instructive position because it shows how Black's pieces are so well deployed that there's nowhere on the entire long diagonal where the queen can be usefully placed to generate counterplay.

White's best move in this position would be 41. ♕b8 which leads to mate in 6:

41... ♖xb8 42. ♖h6 ♖d8 43. ♖xf6+ ♔g7 44. ♖e6 ♖d1+ (or ♗xe6 45. ♔e1 ♗g4 46. any move ♖d1#) 45. ♖e1 ♗h3+ 46. ♔g1 ♖xe1#

Aug-16-11  50movesaheadofyou: La Cori!
Aug-17-11  rilkefan: <<hayden20>: 32 Rxd7 Nxd7; 33 Ne2 Rc2; 34 Qe7 holds maybe? BTW Rilke as in the Duino Elegies?>

Hmm, that's better than I thought it was when I suggested ...Rc2, but Qd8 and I think white's still losing the qside and having to deal with doubled rooks on the second rank.

And yes, Rilke's my favorite poet in German, though more the New Poems than the Elegies.

Aug-17-11  SuperPatzer77: <Nullifidian: 40... Rd7! is a beautiful and winning move, but Black could have won faster with 40... Kf8!. It's an instructive position because it shows how Black's pieces are so well deployed that there's nowhere on the entire long diagonal where the queen can be usefully placed to generate counterplay. >

<Nullifidan> I strongly agree with your excellent analysis of 40...Kf8! leading to a quick mate. I bet my boots 40...Kf8! sure could force White to resign as well.

40...Kf8!, 41. Qb8 (only move - preventing the Black Rook from mating White) Rxb8, 42. Rh6 Rd8 (threatening Rd1#), 43. Rxf6+ Kg7, 44. Re6 (forced) Rd1+, 45. Re1 Bh3+, 46. Kg1 Rxe1#

Well-done by Nullifidan - I mean your winning line of 40...Kf8! is much stronger than 40...Rd7. 40...Rd7 is a winning move as well but 40...Kf8! is much better.

SuperPatzer77

Mar-20-22  Brenin: 32 ... Rxd4 33 Rxb6 (otherwise White has lost a piece) Rd2+ 34 Be2 (otherwise 34 ... Rc1+ leads to mate) Rxe2+ 35 Kf1 (35 Kf3 Bg4 mate) Bg4 (threatening 36 ... Rc1 mate) 36 b4 (now the Q defends c1) axb6, and Black has R+B+N+attack for the sacrificed Q.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Not even close, but with only five brain cells remaining, 5/6 with one known for the week makes me happy.
Mar-20-22  mel gibson: I saw 32... Rc2+
Stockfish 14 followed the game line as per the text:

32...Rxd4

(32. ..

score for Black +11.55 depth 36

I forced Stockfish 14 to follow my choice
and it still works but is nowhere near as powerful as the chosen move.

32... Rc2+

score for White -3.53 depth 43.

Mar-20-22  Refused: The idea has to be Rxd4-Rd2+ and this will end in a mate before too long.

  scormus: some bold tactics by B, it must have been tempting to play 32 ... Rxd2+. It's what I think I'd play OTB, but a few minutes more work on the puzzle board made me choose .... Rxd4! instead.

Later, I thought 36 .... axb6 looked good enough to win, but I fancied .... Ne4 first (threatening Nd2+ followed by Nb1). If it works it's cool. Time to check it with SF

Mar-20-22  agb2002: Black is one pawn down.

White threatens Rxb6.

The first idea that comes to mind is 32... Rc2+ but White has 33.Ne2 (33.Nxc2 Rxc2+ and mate in three).

Another option is 32... Rxd4 33.Rxb6 Rd2+ 34.Be2 (else 34... Rc1+ 35.Bd1 Rcxd1#) 34... Rxe2+ 35.Kf1 (35.Kf3 Bg4#) 35... Bg4:

A) 36.Rc6 Rxc6 37.Qf8+ Ng8 wins.

B) 36.b4 axb6 should be winning.

Mar-20-22  Caissas Clown: Black's LSB being a vital attacking piece in a French...don't see that too much.

  Teyss: Solved it up to 36...axb6 but it's a relatively easy Sunday (BTW as White I would have played 36.b3 to leave the threat Qf8#). Then White has many options to try to defend, all failing. Remarkable how the h1 R is useless.

I would have continued 37...Nd5 threatening 38...Ne3+ 39.Kg1 Rg2# and if 38.Rh4 to give the K some air, 39...Re1+ 40.Kf2 Rc2+ 41.Kxe1 Re2#


click for larger view

But White can defend with 39.Qxe3 Rxe3 40.Rxg4 gxh6 still being a R down. So after 37.h6, SF prefers 37...Ne4 threatening 38...Nd2+ 39.Kg1 Nf3+ 40.Kh1 Re1+ 41.Kg2 Rc2# In this line even if White gives back the Q it's still mate: 40.Qxf3 Bxf3 and Rc1# is unavoidable.


click for larger view

Indeed if instead of 37...Ne4, 37...Rec2 as in the game, White can put up a bit of resistance with 38.Qd3 Rc1+ 39.Kg2 R8c2+ 40.Qxc2 Rxc2+ 41.Kg1, still being B+N down.

Mar-20-22  AlicesKnight: Found the key first moves (unusual for me!). Pretty play by Black, finding the time to get the 3 pieces for the Q.

Still wishing these pop-ups did NOT keep coming up when selecting the game to check the answer ...
