| HastyMover: <OsmanAnwar> that is what I was thinking. 24)c3 kills the black queen. |

| |
| HastyMover: <ThomYorke: When people solve the puzzle it´s easy, when they don´t it´s hard. Nice theory...> I disagree wholeheartedly. The ONLY ones I ever get are the hard ones. I keep telling myself that. It's a real boost to my self esteem. :~) |

Aug-23-05 J Xie vs Short, 2002
| |
| HastyMover: I didn't get today's puzzle. I figured that the ♕h8+ move was probably a good move, but I didn't realize that after the black ♔ moves out of check that I could take the knight. I thought that the black ♙ at f6 was protecting it. I had it going the wrong way in ... |

Aug-22-05 G Borisenko vs Simagin, 1955
| |
| HastyMover: I got this one, so it must have been easy! I played around with my queen for a couple of minutes, but then decided to see what would happen if the pawn moved up to f6+, and immediately saw the checkmate. I must admit though, I didn't think of the black en passant move. If that ... |

Aug-19-05 Tal vs M Dvoretzky, 1974
| |
| HastyMover: I didn't get this one. I looked at 35. ♗c4, but figured that the response ... ♗xc4 just lost a bishop for white. After knowing the answer, I tried to go back and figure out why black wouldn't have just taken the bishop back. I realized afterwards, that if ... |

Aug-11-05 Uhlmann vs Larsen, 1971
| |
| HastyMover: I didn't get it. I kept trying 36...Qxb1 37. Bxb1 Ba6+ and couldn't make it work. I should have learned from yesterday that the order of the combination matters. If I had moved 36...Ba6 first it would have worked out. <zb2cr> If 36. ... Bg2+; why would white respond 37. Kf2 |

| HastyMover: <RonB52734>
Thank you. Your clarification was much appreciated.
I guess I haven't played enough chess to know to quit when down a knight. |

Aug-05-05 V Zurakhov vs A Zamikhovsky, 1959
| |
| HastyMover: I got this without too much difficulty. Knowing that there is a win for white definitely helps. In a real game, I don't think I would have seen it. I didn't have a chance to analyze 35....Kg8 line much. I'm not sure I know what happens after 35.Rh6+ Kg8 36.g6 ... It seems black ... |
