Feb-23-15 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Queen sac on the h-file. It's Monday!! |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | Phony Benoni: Same old play, different cast. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: In retrospect Black needed to try 24 ... Rb7, so as to defend f7 and allow his queen to wander up the g-file and try to get exchanged. Not the prettiest, but a lot better than what actually happened ... |
|
Feb-23-15 | | lost in space: I love Mondays!
27. Qxh6+ Kxh6 (only move) 28. Rh2+ Rh5 (only move) 29. Rxh5# |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | Infohunter: I'll say it this way for old time's sake: 27. QxRPch, KxQ; 28. R-R2ch, R-R4; 29. RxR mate. |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | al wazir: 25...Kh8 would have limited black's losses to a ♙. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | patzer2: Black's 26...Rg5?? blunders into mate-in-three, starting with 27. Qxh6+! Instead, 26...Rf8! allows Black to hold on after 26...Rf8! 27. Rh2 (Not 27. Qxh6+?? Kxh6 28. Rh2+ Kg5 ) 27...Qg5! . |
|
Feb-23-15 | | M.Hassan: Queen sac and mate in two:
27.Qxh6+ Kxh6
28.Rh2+ Rh5
29.Rxh5#
Also, demonstates rare power of doubled pawns |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | gawain: What a finish. 27 Qxh6+ forces mate. Black's nearby heavy pieces are curiously helpless. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | greed and death: 27. Qxh6+ Kxh6 (forced)
28. Rh2+ Rh5 (forced)
29. Rxh5# |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | agb2002: The material is identical.
Black threatens 27... Rxh5.
White wins immediately with 27.Qxh6+ Kxh6 28.Rh2 Rh5 29.Rxh5#. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | ozu: Haha. . OK I'm back getting puzzles right . . really really want to get through an entire week. . |
|
Feb-23-15 | | morfishine: 27.Qxh6+ Kxh6 28.Rh2+ Rh5 29.Rxh5#

 | | Once: That's funny. The black king would be able to escape the mate if either of the Qg8 and Rg5 weren't there. The white pawns did a great job of building a wall, but the two black heavies added a chicane to it. With friends like that, who needs enemies? |
|
Feb-23-15 | | Nick46: Scrutinize the board intensely in search of a possible Qsac. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | zb2cr: A Queen sacrifice begins a forced mate in 3. 27 Qxh6+, Kxh6; 28. Rh2+, Rh5; 29. Rxh5#. A glorious Monday has begun! |
|
Feb-23-15 | | Albert Barile: I like the puzzles. No time to play, so this keeps my interest peaked! Thanks. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | CHESSTTCAMPS: In this middle-game position, material is even, with black having the bad light-squared bishop that is characteristic of the French Defense. Black has control of the g-file, while white has control of the semi-open h-file where the kings reside. White's pawns on f5 and f6 seal the black king's escape from the edge. This suggests a forced mate with 27.Qxh6+ Kxh6 28.Rh2+ Rh5 29.Rxh5# With an extra tempo to eliminate f5, black might well have a tenable game. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | dfcx: queen sac followed by rook mate, black king can't escape to the g-file. |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | Bubo bubo: Toughest Monday for me by now: In an acute fit of chess blindness it took me several minutes to see that ♙f6 covers g7 and so White can force mate-in-three with 27.Qxh6+ Kxh6 28.Rh2+ Rh5 29.Rxh5#. |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | OhioChessFan: <ozu: Haha. . OK I'm back getting puzzles right . . really really want to get through an entire week. > Based on past experience, I recommend a claim of convenient "computer problems" after Friday. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | Mating Net: With those 2 pawns, White essentially played the game with 4 Bishops. |
|
Feb-23-15 | | TheTamale: Honza, is this you, or some close relation? |
|
Feb-23-15 | | Herma48852: Thanks god its Monday!
27. Qxh6+ Kxh6 28. Rh2+ Rh5 29. Rxh5# |
|
Feb-23-15
 | | kevin86: In response to the attack on the queen, whiter sacs said queen and mates in three! Typical Monday. |
