Jul-26-09		vonKrolock: A position for the anthologies after <37.♔h2> click for larger view There's a forced mate in 12 with the actual move 37...e1=♘+!! Curious, that promoting to a heavy (<♕ or ♖> ) piece, black would find difficulties to avoid a perpetual with just the threats of white's ♕+♗, while if 37...e1=♗ the sequence would not be clear - and, finally, the very improbable coup 37...♗g1!!?? may be the <analysis room's dual> of the combination... The game is very interesting, with a sustained attacking spirit animating the whole

Jul-26-09		crwynn: 37...Bg1+ does nothing, White can take the bishop and draw easily, or try 38.Kh1 and maybe win.

Jul-28-09		whiteshark: I'll post here a few game-related comments posted at the chesscafe: Jul-23-09 whiteshark: I found the following position in a recent magazine. click for larger view It said it is Black's (Ian Nepomniachtchi) turn to move and to win and that it was a recent game. I've checked all of Nepo's wins back to 2006 but couldn't find it in the chessgames.com database. Does somebody or other knows the related game?

Jul-28-09		whiteshark: Jul-23-09 returnoftheking: <white> Bg1! No idea what game it is. Jul-23-09 whiteshark: <returnoftheking> The game has been posted by <Chessdreamer> at the Nepo page. There you'll find the solution, too. :D

Jul-28-09		whiteshark: Jul-23-09 Wayne Power: <returnoftheking: Bg1! No idea what game it is> .. Bg1+ as you say, but then, if Rxg1, Black promotes to a Knight with discovered check and has Qa6+, Qxg6+ and Nxf6+ to follow if White doesn't throw in the towel Jul-23-09 returnoftheking: Bg1 was wrong..:( Jul-23-09 Wayne Power <returnoftheking: Bg1 was wrong..:(> - no, glibness is wrong. Unless you have arthritis in your fingers, say why Bg1 is wrong.

Jul-28-09		whiteshark: Jul-24-09 Richard Taylor: In that diagram above 1 ...e1=N dis check looks like it leads to a forced mate. But I only just looked at it I haven't set the position up or anything. Jul-24-09 Wayne Power: <Richard Taylor: In that diagram above 1 ...e1=N dis check looks like it leads to a forced mate> - yes and I can now see how ..Bg1+ is a red herring because it is met by by Rxg1 e1=N+, Kh1! Qa6+, Kg2 Nxf3 where Black still wins but less directly.

Jul-28-09		whiteshark: Jul-24-09 whiteshark: After <37...Bg1+> White could also play <38.Kh1!> using the g1 as shield to cover backrank checks for the moment.

Nov-27-11		fisayo123: amazing.

Jun-30-17		tpstar: <37 ... e1=N+!!> Brilliant. This game belongs in all Underpromotion Game Collections. Note Black just sacrificed a Rook allowing 37. Bxg6 and his King was in mortal danger, until he crashed through first.
