| Mar-21-12 | | ajile: I had
13.Nc4 Qa6 14.Nb6 winning the exchange but 13.Nc4 Qa6 14.Bg5+ Kxf7 15.Nd6++ is faster. I'm just trying to move the knight to allow Bg5+ but 13.Nxe4 doesn't work because after 13..fxe4 the queen on a5 covers the g5 square. Actually my line doesn't seem to work since after 13.Nc4 Qa6 14.Nb6 cxb6 15.Bg5+ Kd6 16.Qd5+ Black now has ..Kc7. : / |

| Mar-21-12 | | viking78: <solskytz> that's very interesting, hope to find on the net what you said, thanks a lot |

 | | doubledrooks: White ends matters with 13. Nc4 Qa6 (or Nxd4) 14. Bg5+ Kxf7 15. Nd6#. |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | WinKing: <gofer: No one has looked at 13 ... Be6. Am I crazy or is this a reasonable option for black? Okay it loses a piece, but it doesn't die immediately...> No it doesn't lose immediately <gofer> you are right. Black hangs around for awhile but his game is awful. Here is what Rybka thinks in your line: <13.Nc4 Be6 14.Bxe6 Qa6 15.Bg5+ Ke8> (if 15...Kxe6 16.Nb6+) Rybka 3
16.Bf7+ Kd7<16...Kxf7 17.Nd6#)> 17.Na5 <(threatening 18.Qe6 mate)> Nxa5 18.Qd5+ Qd6 19.Qxf5+ Kc6 20.Na3<(threatening 21.Qb5 mate)> a6 21.d5+ Kb6 22.Be3+ c5 23.dxc6+ Kxc6 24.Rad1 <& now if the queen moves to get away 25.Qd5 is mate>. But here we are at move 25 already which is much longer than Gossip lasted in the actual game. 13...Be6 is another move I missed as did most of us. |

| Mar-21-12 | | bachiller: Concerning triple checks, there is a story of Capablanca checkmating three kings at one time (on a legendary match against a Martian). You can read it (in Spanish) here
http://terra.es/personal3/r3198r/Ca... Or hear and see it at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n21u...
A little help: Rey = King, ahogado = stalemated, Negro = Black, D(ama) = Q(ueen), tablas = draw. |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | kellmano: <solskytz> Wouldn't it have to be a king in a double check, then moving another piece to open another line of attack? |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | Memethecat: I think Nc4 & blacks choices are grim, Mmm even a possible mate. 13Nc4 Qa6 14Ne5 Nxe5 15Bg5+ Kd6 16Qd5#
**************
Siht, I thought I had that.
Nice finish |

| Mar-21-12 | | Memethecat: <Once> Avatar, worth a look. He's created a world were the best parts of us would love to live. I think its on tv this Sunday. |

 | | kevin86: I think that the theme is the same as the classic "Indian Problem". First move:white attacks queen and allow an escape square for the king Second move:White forces the king onto the created flight square. Final move:white recovers the escape square AND attacks with the moving piece:DOUBLE check and mate!! |

 | | agb2002: The material is equal.
The black king will probably try to escape via d8.
White can incorporate more forces into attack with 13.Nc4 Qa6 14.Bg5+ Kxf7 15.Nd6#. |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | solskytz: <Kellmano> yeah, I guess :-] Link to Monday's POTD, anybody? |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | tcoxon39: Surely black must have seen this mate coming, so why bother saving the queen? 13...Qd5 prevents mate at loss of queen, but gives black a chance to bolster his defenses. 14. Bxd5 h6 eliminates the Bg5+ threat |

 | | Pawn and Two: Last night I saw the game continuation, with mate in three. Today, after another review, and reading the comments by others, I can see that Gossip was being helpful with his move 13...Qa6, allowing the quick checkmate. Steinitz in the tournament book commented after 13...Qa6, <Giving up a piece by Be6 was the only move to save the mate or loss of a Queen, but, of course, the game was gone.> Fritz indicates Black's best defense, in a hopeless position, is the following: 13...h6 14.Nxa5 Nxa5 15.Qd5 c6 16.Qxa5 b6 17.Qa6 Kxf7 18.Qb7. |

| Mar-21-12 | | BOSTER: <solskytz> <Link to Monday's POTD>. Look at <dzechiel> comments. How I know he back from vacation on Monday. |

| Mar-21-12 | | SamAtoms1980: <solskytz: Link to Monday's POTD, anybody?> K O'Brien vs D Salter, 2008 |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | pogotheclown: Got that one pretty quick. |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | BOSTER: Not every King like to spend all his life in the castle. Castle is the castle, even somebody call it a palace. This is why Black King decided to take active part in the war moving to e7. After this battle chess world had a great possibility to see a lot, but ,nevertheless, many argue about the mysterious move 12.e8-e7.
Many suggest that more that 100 y. ago the King had no right to move aside. |
|
| Mar-21-12 | | solskytz: <SamAtoms1980> and <Boster> Thx!! :-] |

 | | Once: The challenge is to create a triple or even quadruple check. The nearest I can get is this:
click for larger viewIf we are allowed a little artistic license, we might just about say that dxe7 is a quintuple check... Okay, maybe not exactly within the laws of chess. But it seems more feasible that Capa playing martians. |

|
| Mar-21-12 | | Patriot: Material is even.
Black threatens nothing.
I think the idea is to move the d2-knight with tempo to get the dark-square bishop in the game. 13.Nc4 looks strongest. 13.Nc4 Qa6 (the only safe square) 14.Bg5+ Kxf7 (only move) 15.Nd6# |

| Dec-18-21 | | Whitehat1963: I hear he is susceptible to discovered checks right out of the opening. You might give that a thought. |
