 | | Phony Benoni: Looking at the board
On a cold December day,
Trying to force a mate
In any simple way.
That capture on h2
I learned when I was born,
What fun it is to sac your Queen
This blessed Monday Morn! |

 | | Penguincw: In the world of sports:
Golden State snaps their winning streak by losing by 13 points, McGregor knocksout Aldo in 13 seconds, Panthers improve to 13-0, and yesterday was Dec/13. :O Sorry for the unrelated post, I had nothing else to mention. Anyway, typical, easy Monday puzzle here with a queen sac, check, pointless blocks, mate. 29...Qxh2+ 30.Kxh2 Rh6+ 31.Bh4+ Rxh4# 0-1.
1/1 this week. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | lost in space: I love Monday’s!
29...Qxh2+ 30. Kxh2 (only move) Rh6+ 31. Bh4 (only move) Rxh4# |
|
Dec-14-15 | | stst: Q-sac, routine
29....... Qxh2+
30.Kxh2(forced) Rh6+
31.Bh4(pointless except to delay one move) Rxh4#
.... No other escape squares nor files (h-file R+
f1,f3 are checked by B and P resp.) |

Dec-14-15 | | kubbybulin: Qh2 mates. Sorry nothing to add, first puzzle I've solved before the coffee was done brewing since last week's easy-for-a-Thursday puzzle. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | kubbybulin: Ok, coffee's done. This is one strange way to attack a French. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | patzer2: Today's Monday Queen Sac 29...Qxh2+ , for mate-in-three, is a combination most club players see at blitz speed.Less obvious is that 24. Nc1? is the losing move, allowing 24...Ng3+! (-4.04 @ 20 depth, Deep Fritz 14). Instead, 24. b4 = (-0.05 @ 20 depth) holds it level. |

Dec-14-15 | | agb2002: Black has a rook and a bishop for two knights.
Black can deliver mate in three with 29... Qxh2+ 30.Kxh2 Rh6+ 31.Bh4 Rxh4#. |

Dec-14-15 | | nazgulord: Queen sac Mondays :). |
|
Dec-14-15 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Well done, <Phony Benoni> |
|
Dec-14-15 | | zb2cr: 29. ... Qxh2+ does it. After 30. Kxh2, Rh6+ and mate in one more move. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | morfishine: White King is cornered like a rat:
<29...Qxh2+> 30.Kxh2 Rh6 mate ***** |
|
Dec-14-15 | | Ratt Boy: <Phony Benoni>:
That's some beautiful stuff. Thanks for brightening a cold December morn! |
|
Dec-14-15 | | Sularus: Queen sac
rook checks
rook captures and mates |
|
Dec-14-15 | | M.Hassan: Black is 2 points ahead. he has Rook+Bishop for 2 Knights and a Queen sac solves this Monday's puzzle:
29..........Qxh2+
30.Kxh2(forced) Rh6+
31.Bh4 Rxh4# |
|
Dec-14-15 | | Once: 30...g3+ would have been more sadistic. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | notyetagm: Vanderlei Cason Melo vs Evansue Serra, 1982
<morfishine: White King is cornered like a rat:> It's not that the king is cornered, it's that <THE KING IS TRAPPED IN A CORRIDOR ON THE h-FILE>, so that all that needs to be done is to remove the defender that closes the line (29 ... Qh5xh2+!) and then give mate on the open h-file (30 Kh1xKh2 Rf6-h6#). |
|
Dec-14-15 | | kevin86: Mate in 3 started by queen sac...typical Monday. |
|
Dec-14-15
 | | gawain: Fantastic finish, starting with the dramatic 29...Qxh2+. White is fatally weak on the h-file. |
|
Dec-14-15 | | garrido: Very easy but monday Queene sacrifice in h2 |
