Feb-18-21 Lutikov vs A Kapengut, 1978

| BxChess: 0 from 4 so far this week. Either I've experienced a sudden and serious mental decline, or else CG has got their puzzles out of sync with the calender |

Jan-21-21 Shimanov vs A Vovk, 2011
| |
| BxChess: I figured the first move of the puzzle had to be 42. Ne8+ but I couldn't see the finish because I also missed 45. Qg7 |

| BxChess: Thanks <agb2002>. I enjoyed the puzzle although I found it more difficult than your 1.5 rating suggests. |

Nov-17-20 A Korobov vs S Fedorchuk, 2001
| |
| BxChess: I found this surprisingly difficult for a Tuesday. It took me 15mins to find that 33. Qxf6+ was winning.
I eventually reasoned that the first move had to be a check, otherwise the pinned rook g3 would be lost with check and the attack would fizzle. By eliminating the likely checks |

Aug-16-20 D Norwood vs Gelfand, 1987
| |
| BxChess: A funny puzzle for me. I actually chose the game line 35. Qe7 and prematurely congratulated myself until I saw that white lost in this line. I did consider 35. Qd8+ Rxd8 36. Rxd8+ Bf8 37. Rxf8 Kg7, but I couldn't see how to continue. The elegant 38. Re8 found by earlier kibitzers ... |

Aug-02-20 Areshchenko vs A Volokitin, 2004
| |
| BxChess: Well I got the first move in today's puzzle, and I got the first move yesterday. Hence I was correct twice in two days, which is slightly worse than a stopped clock, but not too bad considering |

| BxChess: 25...? is certainly maddening, if not insane as a puzzle. |
