No he doesn't.
<Update 1/3/2020
Santa Claus has been behind on his chores ever since Christmas, but he’s finally catching up, and so—for participating in the 2019 "Dear Santa" contest and/or meritorious service to the community—he took the time to award 1-year chessgames.com premium memberships to the following 23 users: carpetshark, Keyser Soze, jith1207, morfishine, Retireborn, gezafan, Telemus, Mountain1, JonathanJ, areknames, paavoh, Jean Defuse, pazzed paun, takebackok, mifralu, Jonathan Lau, RcfM, ciberchess, Albums Dummyflap, Kurakotsaba, MissScarlett, <Messiah>, and WorstPlayerEver.> > That’s quite an assortment. Some of those people I’d give a lifetime membership to; others.... Santa doesn’t seem to care whether you’re naughty or nice. |

 | | perfidious: I am willing to hazard a few guesses as to which members received theirs for getting in on the 'Dear Santa' and which got there for 'meritorious service'; trying to suss out at least one or two of the 23 named could prove entertaining. |

| Jun-04-24 | | Kauz888: That was a classical sacrifice, congrats Supi! |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: For a single move, Supi became the greatest player who ever lived. I'd take that. |

| Jun-04-24 | | mel gibson: A bit tricky for Tuesday.
Stockfish 16.1 says mate in 6:
18. Qc6
(18. Qc6 (1.Qc6 bxc6 2.bxc6 Qb1+ 3.Rxb1 Kb8 4.Rba1 Ba3 5.Rxa3 f6 6.Ra8+) +M6/147 12) |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | saturn2: A bit misleading. with the info Tuesday.
So I took 18 Ra8+ followed by Qxb7.
They should have said Thursda, or white mates. |

 | | chrisowen: I cap its q job men funky its Qc6 gab ie arrived its odd ed Qc6 buff; |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | TheaN: This game has been meme'd a bit, as this is the origination of the 'savage' gesture that Carlsen makes that you see on a lot of YT shorts, shown in the Twitch clip that <Sally> linked four years ago: https://www.twitch.tv/maskenissen/c... And rightfully so. I think I agree with <saturn> that if I didn't know this combination, Tuesday is a very rough estimate for a Queen-sac quiet move. <18.♕c6!!> <is> savage though per Carlsen's response. Key is <18....bxc6 19.bxc6> and Black has no proper way to defend against Ra8#. <19....♕b1+ 20.♖xb1> works for now, but White <still> threatens Ra8# so <20....♔b8> is forced, but after <21.♖ba1> it comes anyway after <21....♗a3 22.♖xa3 with 23.♖a8#>. Incredible combination, and the traction this got is deserved. |

| | chrisowen: No no no Qc6 carafes xx |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: I have to concede, that I knew this game, because I watched it on the Internet. 18.Qc6!! and black cannot avoid mate. I hope instantly, that the human being Luis Paolo Supi himself found this brilliant move and not a silicon monster! Today everything is very difficult to evaluade and judge! |

 | | takebackok: Another (easy) miss I try to solve in under a minute or two, what's happened to easy peasy Tuesday and queen sac Monday's nice puzzle?! |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | alshatranji: May be it's just me, but this was not "easy". After a good deal of thought, I had c5, which wins too (Stockfish at +7.53), but not as decisively. |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | Lloyd Gross: 17. Rfa1 was unnecessary. The queen sac could have occurred one move sooner, 17. Qc6! |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | mel gibson: < Lloyd Gross: 17. Rfa1 was unnecessary. The queen sac could have occurred one move sooner, 17. Qc6!> No it couldn't - Black would win.
Stockfish 16.1 says:

score for Black +9.71 depth 34. |
|
| Jun-04-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Today, I failed completely... the king tried something like 8. Ra8+ Kd7 19. Rxd8+ Kxd8 20. Bg5+ Qxg5 21. Qxf7 Ne7 and then what? This stupid line leads to nowhere. I really didn't see Qc6... :( |

Stockfish 16.1 says:
17. Qc6
(17. Qc6 bxc6 (1. ... bxc6 2.Bxd6 Rxd6> <This> is one of those lines where just posting computer analysis really doesn't do justice to the position: SF tries to 'salvage' something with 18.Bxd6. Of course the point is 18.Rfa1, with White threatening 19.bxc6 with Ra8#. It's way too slow though, so I'm not really sure what <Lloyd Gross> was thinking:
click for larger view
19....Kb7 works for Black but may look a bit risky. Instead, 19....Qxf4! 20.bxc6 Qh2+ 21.Kf1 Qh1+ 22.Ke2 Qxa1 -+ and White might as well resign. |
|
Jun-04-24
 | | beatgiant: <Lloyd Gross> The flaw with 17. Qc6 is the following: 17. Qc6 bxc6 18. bxc6 <Qc5> 19. Rfa1 Qxc6, and White's attack runs out of steam. |
|
| Jun-05-24 | | Lloyd Gross: Thank you for the analysis <beatgiant> <theaN> and <mel gibson>. I stand corrected. |
|
| Jun-05-24 | | Lloyd Gross: Perhaps Black could have tried 17…Qc5 instead of moving the King. |
|
Jun-10-24
| | beatgiant: <Lloyd Gross> Are we looking at the same position? 17...Qc5?? 18. Ra8#. |
|

 | | chancho: The Wow signal. |
|
Mar-04-25
 | | FSR: As <tarashi> pointed out, the finish is very similar to D Waterman vs R Samo, 1974. |
