| Nov-26-22 | | Brenin: The R-sac 22 Rxg7+ was fairly obvious, and I got the continuation as far as 27 Qg6+ Ke7, at which point 28 Re1 seemed the logical move, but that was as far as I could see. |

| Nov-26-22 | | catlover: I missed 22 Rxg7+. I see now that it initiates a strong attack that no doubt is winning, although I probably would have bobbled the ball if I was moving the white pieces. I went with 22. Nxe6 Nxe6 23. Bxh6 gxh6 24. Qxh6. |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Incredible but I really though as you <Brenin>. Following the game line, the King considers 36. ♗e8+ a hard move to see, since White had found it, before start of the combination. |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | jrredfield: As others have said, I saw the entire line all the way up to 27 ... Ke7. After 22 Rxg7 Kxg7 23 Nxe6+, the rest pretty much plays itself. |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | Mayankk: I too saw the line 22 Rxg7+ Kxg7 23 Nxe6+ Nxe6 24 Qxh6+ Kf7 ( 24... Kg8 25 Qxe6+) 25 Bh5+ Ke7 26 Re1 ( to pin and attack the e6 Knight) Qd7 27 Bg5+ with mate to follow soon. Not many interesting side-lines, which makes it easier than a typical Friday. |

| Nov-26-22 | | agb2002: Black threatens Nxe2+ and hxg5.
The white pieces look ready to attack the black king starting with 22.Rxg7+ Kxg7 (22... Kh8 23.Qxh6#) 23.Nxe6+ Nxe6 (else 24.Nxd8) 24.Qxh6+: A) 24... Kf7 25.Bh5+
A.1) 25... Ke7 26.Re1
A.1.a) 26... Rf6 27.Qg7+ Rf7 28.Qxf7#.
A.1.b) 26... Qb6 27.Qxe6+ Kd8 28.Bg5+ Kc7 29.Qxd5, should be winning [B+3P vs r]. A.1.c) 26... Kd7 27.Qxe6+ Kc7 28.Bd2 (28.Qxd5 Bxh2+) looks very good for White [B+2P vs r]. A.2) 25... Kg8 26.Qxe6+ Kg7 (else 27.Qh6+ Kg8 28.Qg6+ Kh8 29.Bb2+ wins) 27.Qg6+ as in the subline. B) 24... Kg8 25.Qxe6+
B.1) 25... Kh7(8) 26.Qh6+ Kg8 27.Qg6+ Kh8 28.Bb2+ wins. B.2) 25... Kg7 26.Qh6+ Kf7 (26... Kg8 27.Qg6+ as above) 27.Bh5+ Ke7 28.Bg5+ wins decisive material. B.3) 25... Rf7 26.Bh5 Rcc7 27.Bxf7+ Rxf7 28.Bb2 + - [2P]. |

 | | scormus: Die hard. Every time I thought W had delivered the fatal blow, B finds a way to hang on a bit longer. I found it step by step all the way until 37 Rxd6 which I think is ?! Preferred 37 Be3+ d4 38 38 Qxf5+ Kc4 39 Qd3+ 1-0 It was good fun and I don't often get that far on a Saturday.
Now I'll see what SF says. |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I was planning 26 Re1, and overlooked the 26 ... Bxh2+ response. Fortunately, White wins in that case too. |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | vajeer: There is a quicker mate with 31.Bg5+ |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | Fiddlerookie: I followed the line after the rook sacrifice pretty well, until 29.Re1 yields tempo for Bl to worry Wh's king with the bishop. I kept thinking there should be a way for Wh to keep a grip on the attack, and avoid the long chase, especially with two bishops to employ. But I couldn't find a line that didn't yield tempo at some point. Maybe that position would make a good "puzzle of avoidance" like <goodevans> referred to a while back: can white hasten the dispatch from that point? |

Well spotted! No forced mate after 32 Qg6+?!
<thegoodanarchist: Janos in stereo.>
Cool pun, whichever way you look at it ;) |

|
| Nov-26-22 | | Hercdon: White had a forced mate in no less than six moves with 31. Bg5+. But I can understand how this could have been hard to find OTB |
|
| Nov-26-22 | | Refused: 22.Rxg7+ Kxg7 23.Nxe6+ Nxe6 24.Qh6+ Kf7 25.Bh5+ looks very, very tempting. Too lazy to check the lines to their conclusion now, but basically, white should be able to harrass the black king and I wouldn't be surprised if the black position just collapses on the spot. |
