| May-13-21 | | drollere: the root is 26...Rxe2+, 27. Kxe2 Bd3+, and the white K is assaulted in different ways depending on whether the reply is Kd1, Kf2 or Qxd3. e.g., if 28. Kf2 Qd2+, 29. Kg3 Rg8+, 30. Kh3 (if Kf4 mate in 2) Bf5+, 31. Rg4 Qxc1 and more pain shortly. if 28. Kd1 Qxa4+, 29. Ke1 Qa2, 30. Qxd3 cxd3, 31. Rc8+ Kh7, and both Rs can be eaten before dessert. |
|
| May-13-21 | | Brenin: The first few moves, 26 ... Rxe2+ 27 Kxe2 (otherwise White is B+P down and the attack continues) Bd3+ (cutting White's Q off from defending the K) are easy to see. One simply needs to verify that the White K has no route to safety. |
|
| May-13-21 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I blew this for a dumb reason: I overlooked that ... cxd3 was check. |
|
| May-13-21 | | stacase: Pretty darn easy for a Thursday puzzle.
The Rook for a Bishop sacrifice set up the very strong Bishop Pawn mutual admiration society and a lot of obvious checks and the final don't say check 29...Qb4+ but rather 29...Qa2 threatening mate (my favorite move cuz ya doesn't has tuh say nuttin.), and White has no defense that works. |

| May-13-21 | | agb2002: Black has an extra pawn.
White threatens Qxb2.
Black can attack the white king starting with 26... Rxe2+ 27.Kxe2 Bd3+: A) 28.Kd1 Qxa4+ (28... Rd8 29.Qc3 seems to resist a bit more) A.1) 29.Ke1 Qa2 30.Qxd3 cxd3 31.Rxc8+ Kh7 32.Rcg8 Qe2#. A.2) 29.Kd2 Qa2+ 30.Kc3 Qa5+ 31.Kb2 Qb4+ 32.Ka2 (32.Ka1 Qa3#) 32... Qb3+ 33.Ka1 Qa3#. B) 28.Kf2 Qd2+ 29.Kg3 Rg8+
B.1) 30.Kh3 Bf4+ 31.Rg4 (31.Kh4 Qh2#) 31... Bxg4+ 32.fxg4 Qxc1 wins a rook. B.2) 30.Kf4 Qh2+ 31.Rg3 Qxg3#.
C) 28.Qxd3 cxd3+ wins. |

| May-13-21 | | Oxspawn: I liked this puzzle. Didn't get it all but thought if was brilliant play by black. I liked most of the puzzles this week. Does this mean I am expelled from the club? |

| May-13-21 | | johnnydeep: I chose the immediate pawn push over taking the bishop and thus failed to solve this one. Oh well. |
