Jul-09-21  Granny O Doul: I couldn't solve it. Hard though I tried, it was just one brilliant Black victory after another. I'm too embarrassed to show them here.

  Dionysius1: I can find a mate in 2, as long as White isn't allowed to move.

I wonder what's going wrong - is there some rogue algorithm or does someone chose a position every evening?

  An Englishman: Good Evening: This week has proven cruel; have already flubbed 3 and the weekend has not yet arrived. Found the game continuation, but it loses. Sigh.

Is it Monday yet?

Jul-09-21  Walter Glattke: See attack ways after 21.-b4 22.Rxd6 Qa5 23. Qxf6+ Rg7 24.Rxc6 Bb3 25.Rxa5! Not really 22.bxc3 slaughtering with sausage has two ends 22.Rxd8 cxb3+ 23.Kd2 Rgxd8+ 24. Bd3 b1Q 25.Rxb1 Bxb1 26.Qxf6+ Kg8 27.Qxc6 Black to lose 21.-f5 22.Rxd6 Qg5+ 23. Qxg5 Rxg5 24.Rxc6 f
fxe4 +-
Therefore 21.-Rb6 22.Rf3 Nb8 23.Qxf6+ Qxf6 24. Rxf6 Rd8 25.Ne3 Kg7 26.Rfxd6 Rbdx6 27.Rxd6 Rxd6 28 Nf5+ +- Very difficult - only Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn can ascape from David Carradine and the Tiger, top aderntouros for me, stockfish may find the solution

  al wazir: I opted for 21...Na5, with a threat of Nb3#. (Not a very robust threat, but still.)

One continuation is 22. Na1 b4 23. Rf3 bxc3 24. bxc3 Qb6 25. Qxf6+ Rg7 26. Kd2 Qb2+ 27. Ke1 Nb3 28. Nxb3 Bxb3 29. Rd2 Qc1+ 30. Ke2 Bc4+ 31. Ke3 Rb2 32. Qd8+ Rg8 33. Qf6+ 1/2:1/2.

At least it's more interesting than the game as played.

Jul-09-21  agb2002: Black is one pawn up.

White threatens 22.Rxd6 Na5 (22... Qc7 23.Qxf6+ Rg7 24.h6) 23.Nb4 (23.Rxd8 Nb3#).

The only reasonable option I can find is 21... Rb6 and if 22.Rxd6 Na5, with the double threat Nb3# and Rxd6, wins decisive material.

However, after 22.Ne3, avoiding the possibility of Nb3# and threatening Nf5-Rg3-Rxg8+, looks bad for Black.

In any case I'd try 21... Rb6.

Jul-09-21  WorstPlayerEver: Don't understand why this is a puzzle.
Jul-09-21  Nichth: It was instructive trying to find the most robust defence for black, who is nevertheless busted in every reasonable variation
Jul-09-21  awfulhangover: What on earth is this?
Jul-09-21  belgradegambit: Some very difficult times behind the scenes at chess games.com.
Jul-09-21  hdcc: <WorstPlayerEver> Don't understand why this is a puzzle.

So you are puzzled?

  chrisowen: Gone with the wind calm before storm b6?
Jul-09-21  WorstPlayerEver: <hdcc>

Well, I suppose so 🦩

Jul-09-21  King.Arthur.Brazil: The Black has produced an unjustified strong attack (said: "what possibly will go wrong?"). But white didn't take any offers and refuted it, simply. Not always a brilliant combination succeeds. This is one of that times, when a simple move ♗c4 saved and wan the game.

  chrisowen: rankle no?
Jul-09-21  WorstPlayerEver: I assume the puzzle should start at 24. Bc4
Jul-09-21  awfulhangover: < WorstPlayerEver: I assume the puzzle should start at 24. Bc4>

Good point.

Jul-09-21  Muttley101: Assuming the game continuation is the solution to the problem is not always right.
Jul-09-21  saturn2: The black queen has to guard f6 and white threatens Rxd6. The road to Nb3+ is still long. Black has not much in this position.
Jul-09-21  Andrew Chapman: Computer says Rb6 is least bad for Black. But it's around +2.
Jul-09-21  AlicesKnight: A Kobayashi Maru problem - no solution except by cheating, so at move 21 Black passes White a large glass of wine with one hand whilst discreetly removing the White Q from the board with the other ....
Jul-09-21  timeclimber: Umm, Black isn't even winning. Sure, b4 is a blunder here, but other moves don't really turn things around for Black either. I'm not sure what today's puzzle is all about.
Jul-09-21  Brenin: Finding 23 b4 would make a reasonable puzzle: it wins for White, as in the game, whereas the "obvious" 23 Rxd8 cxb2+ 24 Kd2 Rgxd8+ only seems to draw, and 23 bxc3 Rb1+ 24 Kd2 Qxd6+ loses.
