Nov-14-22 J Dobias vs J Schulz Sr, 1933 
| |
| landshark: Queen Sac Monday is in effect -
Nice to get one at a glance for once |
|
|
|
Sep-25-22 S Sjugirov vs A Tjurin, 2008
| |
| landshark: I quickly saw 24.Nef5+ with lots of compensation apparent if B captures.
Didn't study the position for too long after the game continuation and missed the pretty (and fairly obvious) 25.Qg3 |
|
|
|
Sep-14-22 E Paehtz vs Vitiugov, 2017
| |
| landshark: Yup. Didn't get that one. The motif I couldn't find was using the Q to attack white's h pawn...
Nice tough puzzle |
|
|
|
Aug-12-22 V Georgiev vs V Dimitrov, 1996
| |
| landshark: I got the first 2 moves without the beautiful heavy piece shuffle / sac in mind - and didn't find it.
Very nice combination indeed! |
|
|
|
Aug-08-22 W Springe vs H Gebhard-Elsass, 1927
| |
| landshark: In a speed game my bet is I'd have missed this.
But because it was "very easy" I started looking for something more uncommon - Moral: In any position, always look for Q sacrifices! |
|
|
|
Jun-27-22 B Starck vs D Bertholdt, 1962
| |
| landshark: After the quiet move 31.Qf2, mate appears unavoidable.
That would have made a nice Wednesday puzzle - not many branches to it, but easy to miss. |
|
|
|
Jun-17-22 Yusupov vs Brunner, 1990
| |
| landshark: It's a rare late-week puzzle that I play the same line as <Brenin> and get at least part of it exactly the same clear to the end... But that's exactly what I did here with his line a).
I didn't follow line b) as far, seeing the game as over once the c-pawn queened. 3/4 ... |
|
|
|
May-23-22 Showalter vs Pillsbury, 1904
| |
| landshark: Time for bed -
I solved this for <Black> to move. |
|
|
|
May-21-22 Morozevich vs Movsesian, 2008
| |
| landshark: When it comes to the weekend I almost <never> try to calculate thru to the end of anything I try -
Often I can't even connect to the right idea for how to handle the position. So I'm very happy with today, that I quickly saw 25.Ndf5 with the themes of weakening Black's a1-h8 |
|
|
|
May-20-22 P Haener vs O Mihok, 2011
| |
| landshark: All it took to convince me was the position after 20... Rxb2
21. Qxb2 Bxd4
You just want to play such a position - A double pin on the c3 N and threat of .... Bxf2, along with that gorgeous pair of bishops eyeing virtually the entire board. What's not to like about it? |
