anupam.mukherjee: <@SummerFruit> Actually, seems to me that the line
<b2: 26...Qc8: 27.Ne6+ Ke7 (or Ke8) 28.Nxd8+ Kxd8 29.Re8+ losing the queen.>
actually ends up in a mate like:
29.Qd6+ Qd7 30.Re8#
Nice analysis. I missed the smothered mate motif completely. |

anupam.mukherjee: Awesome, first Friday puzzle. I guess its all about diligently following up. Last two puzzles, its been about using mate threats forked with piece/positional threats. Cool. |

anupam.mukherjee: Awesome. My first Thursday puzzle. At first I thought that the correct answer was Qg5 which was quite disheartening and then I saw the 0-1 result. Yay! |

anupam.mukherjee: Shocking, I actually managed this in record time, a few seconds maybe. Good for my confidence. I might have actually seen this OTB. Whenever I play ChessMaster it gives a list of 4-5 missed mating chances and of late specially, h-file mates, which seems to be kind of common |
