|
| May-05-07 | | mckmac: Hi <Marco> - I'm not sure,but is this what you are after? Btw,thanks for your kind words.Tactics Archive |
|
| May-05-07 | | Marco65: <mckmac> Thanks, but premium membership is required for that. I just needed to know the game featured as this (or another) week's Monday puzzle. |
|
| May-05-07 | | mckmac: <Marco65> try this one:Emms vs A Blees, 1996 |
|
| May-05-07 | | Eyal: <Marco65> Btw, in Emms vs A Blees, 1996 the puzzle is White's 29th move. Other recent Monday puzzles: Chigorin vs Pillsbury, 1895, Black's 26th move; J Krejcik vs J Thiring, 1898, Black's 10th move; H Hamdouchi vs A Simutowe, 2001, White's 19th move; Kashdan vs Euwe, 1931, White's 29th move. |

| May-05-07 | | chessmoron: <Marco65> This guy never miss any of CG.com daily puzzles and he has terrific analyst on the puzzles. Follow his history and you can find Monday's puzzles as well. User: dzechiel Click [more:] to show all his history. |
|
| May-05-07 | | chessmoron: <Marco65> And of course if you feel you want a challenging puzzle...feel free to visit my forum for a puzzle each Monday. |
|
| May-06-07 | | Marco65: <chessmoron> Thanks! What are they waiting for? 28.Ba4 seems obvious.
28.Qd4 Bf6 28.Qxb4 doesn't seem as advantageous.
The same is true for 28.Rf1 Bf6 29.Ba4 Qe5 |
|
| May-06-07 | | Marco65: <TheAlchemist> Their move was due by now... |
|
May-06-07
 | | TheAlchemist: <Marco> Yeah, I noticed. It's strange, but there might be a problem, they've had problems with their site in the past, or it can be something else. Plus, I was late a few times as well, so let's not make a big deal (yet). |
|
| May-06-07 | | mckmac: <TheAlchemist><Marco65> Good Morning Gentlemen.Able Seaman Rooked reporting for duty (..er,when's the rum ration served again?). |
|
May-06-07
| | TheAlchemist: <mckmac> You can go back to sleep, they still haven't moved... |
|
| May-06-07 | | mckmac: <ButiOxa: Something must have happened with Akavall, like losing internet, because our voting went normally, our move is ready. We play 28. Nd5.
Sorry for the delay.>
|
|
| May-06-07 | | chessmoron: Possible move: 28...Bxd5 29 Bxd5 Rc7

| May-07-07 | | Marco65: What?? They didn't take the exchange? |
|
| May-07-07 | | Marco65: <chessmoron> In your position after 30.Bf4 our d6 pawn seems to fall. Not that bad after all  positions we analysed just a move ago, but maybe there is something better... |
|
May-07-07
| | TheAlchemist: Well, I thought 28.Nd5 was a viable alternative, maintaining the tension, but I didn't really think they'd turn down material. Oh, well... We have to be careful now of moves such as Rg1 and Bd4, threatening g7. <chessmoron>'s line seems ok for now. 30.Rf1 Bf6 31.Bf4 Qb5! 32.Re1 Re7. But the immediate 30.Bf4 is a little tougher to answer, especially followed up by 31.h6, which will open up our kingside. How do we answer that? Alternatively, 28...a5 29.Ba4 Bh4 30.Bxc6 Qxc6 seems also fine. But since white didn't take the exchange before, maybe they will try and step up the pressure, with something like 29.Rg1 g6 30.Qd4 Bd8 and here we are a bit tied down, but we can hold it, probably.

| May-07-07 | | mckmac: <Team> Still getting back up to speed..I am also suprised by White's move here.Again. ;-/ <TheAlchemist> Thanks for dropping by! You said it all really :) |
|
| May-07-07 | | Marco65: In our current position White is threatening Q(N)xb4, Ba4 and Rf1. So there is no hope to keep our material advantage. 28...Bxd5 seems best, but it can also be met by 29.Qxd5 making very difficult for us to break the pin and renewing the threat of Ba4. For instance 29...Rc7 30.Bd6 Rc8 31.Rf1 Bf6 32.h6 (d6 was already en prise)

just looks horrible to me. |
|
| May-07-07 | | mckmac: <Marco65> Thanks for that Sarge.Makes things much clearer. |
|
| May-07-07 | | Benzol: <TheAlchemist> Thanks for the Tim Krabbe article. I'm looking forward to going through it thoroughly when I've got a good deal of free time. Life's a bit hectic work-wise at the moment. :) |
|
| May-07-07 | | Marco65: On the other hand 28...Bxd5 29.Qxd5 Rc8 (instead of 29...Rc7, again to avoid losing the exchange by Ba4) 30.Rf1 Bf6 31.Bb6 (31.Bf4 Rc5 might be more playable for us)

followed by h6, or Qxd6, and again it is very difficult to free ourselves from the pin. I got the impression that stubbornly refusing to lose the exchange it's a losing strategy for us, <TheAlchemist> already analysed 28...a5 that seems interesting <mckmac> Where is your analysis soldier! >:o |
|
| May-07-07 | | Marco65: Also... what about 28...Bf3 29.Rf1 Bxh5? I would need more time to support it with concrete analysis, but maybe this time greedy is good! It gains a pawn and adds another defender to Nf7 so that it's easier to break the pin via Kh8. They may take the exchange, but with two passed pawn it's probably them who must be afraid of simplifying too much! |
|
| May-07-07 | | mckmac: I second the Sarge at the moment. <<TheAlchemist> already analysed 27...a5 that seems interesting> This is a possible line also - following 28.Ba4 >< 28...Rxf1 29.Rxf1 Nf3 30.Bxc6 Nxd2 31.Bxe8 Nxf1 32.Nxe7+ Kf8 (n.b. no variations fully analysed yet)
