Thanks for sharing that beautiful tactic with me, with your usual <THOROUGH EXPLANATION>. I found a winning tactic in my last game on Yahoo, and I swear to God I had a mental image of this: <OVERWORKED DEFENDER> Heh- his Queen had to cover two squares at the same time, and I found a move that "tired her out". |

Thanks for that cool music!
Heh it seems a popular 80s videogame has also invaded our thread here... Oh well I"m sure it will pass, especially if we don't "mention the war..." (I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it) German Women?
GOOD CARD PLAYERS |

OK so I'm supposed to Hunt <Trashy novelists> now? do I kill them if I find any?
I want to get the instructions straight this time.

Heh... That would probably make for a <Labate Blue>, no? HAHAHAHAAHAHAAH
Who is this Labbat's person anyways?
Is he famous like <Ed Trice>? |

I'll give it a try.
Rxd6, Qxd6 (what else?), fxe5, Qxe5 (anything else, exf6. White has won a fair amount of material for his rook), Bf4 and black's queen is trapped. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Doctor>!!
Ok 2 minutes in now---
1.Rxd6 Qxd6
2.fxe6 Qxe6
3.Bd4
And now there is only one square the Black Queen can go and keep the Knight defended-- the g-5 square. 3...Qg5
and now
4.Nf3
Queen has only one square to go-- h6
and now
5.Bxf6
And White gets a Bishop and Knight for a rook and a pawn... There may be better though.
I'm pretty sure my idea is forcing... |
|
Apr-15-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: I"m so stupid!!
<Tactic101> your solution is way better-- You win the Queen!!
Presumably Black would notice this and concede losing the Knight... Or not!
Great puzzle solving! |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: Well done both of you!!
Hi Tactic! This one was too easy, I guess...
It's from a real GM game, with Dutch Chess icon <Donner> at the receiving end in that puzzle.... |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: <PUZZLE>
one more -- from this game: R Sanguineti vs Fischer, 1959 White to play and win

| Apr-15-08 | | Tactic101: Very nice endgame puzzle. I like it a lot! Weird to see Fischer on the losing side, though. |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: <Weird to see Fischer on the losing side, though.> Yes --- I think I read that Fischer (16 at the time) spent enormous amounts of time practising and improving his endgame technique and undertanding, in the early 60s... |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: From this game Alekhine vs O Naegeli, 1932 (Naegli missed the forced mate btw...) Black to play and win (surprise, surprise!!)
 click for larger viewReally interesting game AND position for a number of reasons... |

|
| Apr-16-08 | | brankat: An earth-shattering piece of news from Magnus site, page 981 :-) In an interview, Carlsen responds to a question about CG.com, and specifically in regards to <slomarko> :-) Actually, it is quite genuine, there is a link there (Norwegian), and an English translation on C's page. |
|
| Apr-16-08 | | achieve: Brain broken? Nahh... Allow the doctor to help a bit-- Here's a position from: Najdorf vs Timman, 1980 -- featuring the <Great Jan Timman>, grabbing a pawn in a position that obviously does NOT allow it -- <Magnificent Miguel> puts his young opponent in his place with a simple theme that was overlooked by our Jan... Timman (Black) has just captured the B3-pawn with his ♖ and Miguel grabs his chance... (White to play)  click for larger viewI could call this "easy" - which it prolly is - but OTB at GM level anything can happen... |

| Apr-16-08 | | Boomie: <brankat: An earth-shattering piece of news from Magnus site, page 981 > Or page 433 if you've ignored all the right people ;-> It comes up on 982 without ignores. |
