It's a logical idea for White to try to bring the queen into the defense, but after 37. Qc8 Rh4 38. Qf5, Black can allow the queen trade with <38...Rxh2> because 39. Qxf3 exf3 and 40...Rh1# is unstoppable.I wonder if White can save the game with <34. c5> with an idea similar to yours. It seems like 34...Rg5 35. Qa6 dxc5 is forced, and then White can reply 36. Qe6 to bring the queen into play. |
|
| May-16-21 | | SugarDom: Rg5 was obvious. Not very satisfying puzzle. |

A) 33.-Rh6 34.Re2 Rxh2 35.Ke1 Qh1+(Rh1+) 36.Kd2 h5 rather equal play
B) 33.-Rf8 34.Qa3 h6 35.Qb2 Rf4 36.Rc1 Rh4 37.Ke1 Rg1+ 38. Nf1 Rxh2 39.Qe2 R2h1 40.Qxf3 Rxf1+ 41.Kd2 exf3 42.Rxf1 Rxf1 43.Kf3 rather equal play |

 | | Dionysius1: Nice chipping away at the king side. With the weekend puzzles I usually don't understand how the moves hang together in a plan, but on this one it does seem clearer. |
|
| May-16-21 | | Brenin: Black needs the quiet but forceful move Rf8 to reinforce the attack, but 32 ... Rg6+ must come first, otherwise White repairs the crumbling wall with 33 Nf1 and 34 Ng3, blocking the g-file and attacking the P on e4. Clearly the h-pawn will need to be advanced at some stage, to free Black from the back rank mate threat, but again, timing is everything. |
|
| May-16-21 | | Messiah: Unusually simple for a Sunday. |
|
| May-16-21 | | agb2002: Black is one knight down.
Black can try a direct attack 32... Rg6+ (32... Qh3 33.Nf1 protects h2 and can block the g-file with Ng3) 33.Kf1 Qh1+ 34.Ke2 Rg1 (trying to decoy/eliminate the defenders of the first two ranks): A) 35.Rxg1 Qf3+ 36.Kd2 (36.Ke(f)1 Rb1+ and mate next) 36... Qxf2+ 37.Kc1 Qxe3+ 38.Kc2 Qf2+ 39.Kc1 Qxg1+ followed by Qxh2+ wins two pawns at least. B) 35.Raa1 Rb2+ 36.Nc2 Rxc2+ 37.Ke3 Qf3+ 38.Kd4 Qd3# (or 38... Rd2#). C) 35.Nc2 Qf3+ 36.Kd2 Qd3+ 37.Kc1 Rxe1+ 38.Nxe1 Rb1#. D) 35.Ng2 Qxg2 36.Rxg1 (36.Raa1 Qf3+ 37.Kd2 Qxf2+ and mate next) 36... Qf3+ as in A. |
|
| May-16-21 | | agb2002: I missed the obvious defense 38.Rd2 in my line A and was so focused on the rook on g1 that I missed the mate in two with 38... Qd3+ as in C. |
|
| May-16-21 | | Walter Glattke: 33.-Qh1+ 34.Ke2 Rg1 breaks white by Qxf2 in all variations, ply 35.Rf1/Ng4/Qa8/Raa1/all following Qxf2,
35.Qf4 Rxe1+ 36.Kd2 (Rxe3!? 37.Kxe3 unclear) Ra1-+ or 35.-Qf3+ 36.Qxf3 exf3+ 37.Kxf3 Rxe1 -+ |
|
| May-16-21 | | mel gibson: The first move was obvious.
Stockfish 13 agrees but after
many hours of processing it couldn't find a checkmate solution - but close to it.

|
| May-16-21 | | drollere: this one was well above my pay grade. i got the initial Rg6+, but found nothing other than Qh1+ and Qxh2. i also noticed the threat of Qd8# on the back rank, which black resolved with the timely Rf8 and h6. |
|
| May-16-21 | | drollere: <32...Rg6+ 33. Kf1 Qh1+ 34. Ke2 Rg1> i looked at Rg1 too. but after 35. Ra1 Qf3+, 36. Kd2 Qxf2+ 37. Rf2 then what? |

 | | steinitzfan: According to Stockfish this is all a refutation of a horrendous blunder White made on the previous move. With 31 Re1, the evaluation goes from appr. 0 to -10. Would anybody but a computer know it though? |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: Looks like the text 33...Rf8 was not the optimal move, even though it's not easy to see why not. White has 34.Qa7 =0.00 (44 ply), below.
click for larger view Plus there are also 2) =0.00 (43 ply) 34.Qb6 and 3) =0.00 (43 ply) 34.Rb2 Perhaps both 34 Qa7 and 34 Qb6 allow the queen to control e3 and f2 (if the knight moves) so ...Qh1+ no longer works? I am not sure about 34 Rb2. |

<90/55 6:04:28 -M27> wow - so it took 6 hours to find the checkmate solution! |
|
| May-17-21 | | RandomVisitor: <mel gibson>After about 5 hours it saw a mate in 28, after 6 hours it found one in 27. I just set up one of my many machines and go off and do other things and sometimes I come back to find interesting results... |
