  agb2002: Black has a bishop for a rook.

The first idea that comes to mind is 29... e2 but after 30.Rcxe2 (30.Rexe2 Qd1+ 31.Rc1 Qxe2 32.Qxe2 Bxe2 33.Rxc3 h5 - +) 30... Bxe2 31.Qxe2 White seems to hold and has an extra pawn.

Another idea is to take advantage of the advanced pawns with 29... Rxe4 30.fxe4 Qd2, threatening 31... Qxe1+ and 31... Bd3:

A) 31.Rxd2 exd2

A.1) 32.Rd1 Bd3+ 33.Ka1 c2 (33... Ba3 34.Rxd2 + -) - +, with the triple threat Be5#, cxd1=Q+ and c1=Q+.

A.2) 32.Qg1 Bd3+ 33.Ka1 Ba3 34.Rb1 c2 - +.

A.3) 32.Qf2 Bd3+ 33.Ka1 Ba3 34.Rb1 c2 - +.

B) 31.Qg1 Bd3 32.Rec1 e2 33.Qf2 (33.Qe1 Bxc2+ 34.Rxc2 Qxe1+, etc.) 33... Bxc2+ 34.Rxc2 e1=Q+ wins.

C) 31.Re2 Qd1+ 32.Rc1 Bd3+ 33.Rec2 e2 34.Qg1 Bxc2+ wins (35.Rxc2 e1=Q+).

D) 31.Rec1 Bd3 32.Qxd2 (32.Qg1 e2 transposes to B) 32... cxd2 33.Rh1 e2 wins.

E) 31.Qxd2 cxd2 32.Rd1 Bd3 33.Kb2 Be5+ followed by ... e2, winning.

  agb2002: I made a mistake in my line C, the moves in brackets should say 35.Ka1 Ba3 and mate next.
Jan-26-14  DanielSarmiento: In the game that was played maybe it is also a win for black if move 32. is - Bxe2 instead of Bd3+. Not sure though.
Jan-26-14  gofer: Due to black's excellent bishops and two very advanced pawns I think this is simply a case of giving up another rook for a bishop and then giving up a queen for a rook. The net result is a two connected passed pawns on the 2nd and 3rd ranks that are supported to two agile bishops. The rook and queen are no match for the connected pawns supported by the bishops...

<29 ... Rxe4!>
<30 fxe4 Qd2!>

white has a difficult choice;

a) try to blast his way out (and fail horribly)

31 Rxd2 exd2!
32 Rd1/Rf1/Rg1/Rh1 Bd3+
33 Ka1 Be5!

b) try to out run the pawn on-slaught...

31 Rc1? Bd3

31 Re2? Qd1+
32 Rc1 Bxe2
33 Rxd1 Bxd1
34 Qf1 c2+
35 Kb2 Be5+
36 Ka3 c1=Q+
37 Kb4 Qd2+

35 Qg1? Bd3

~~~

Hmmm, 32 Bd3+ seems neater, than 32 Bxe2, but other than that I was pretty okay...

Jan-26-14  PJs Studio: PJs Studio: This puzzle wasn't too bad for a Sunday. Blacks positional advantage is insurmountable. The Be4 holds everything together, so After 29...Rxe4 and 30...e2 white is dead. But 30...Qd2 is better than 30...e2 and of course more attractive. After 30...Qd2 blacks moves play themselves easily. I personally liked blacks choice of 26...cxb3 instead of grabbing the awkward rook on c2. This allowed his light squared bishop and c3 pawn to dominate. Very nicely played game by Kranzel.
Jan-26-14  Patriot: Black is down the exchange but has the bishop pair.

White is very tied down and definitely on defense.

29...Rxe4 30.fxe4 Be5 is the best I could come up with.

This doesn't seem forcing enough though and I've looked at this longer than I wanted to.

  Jimfromprovidence: A tough position unveils itself in just a couple of moves.

29...Rxe4 30 fxe4 Qd2! 31 Rxd2 (much the best) 31...exd2.

Even though up a rook and queen vs. two bishops and with white to move, white is lost.

Black threatens 32...Bd3+ with mate next move.

White can play 32 Qxd2 but after 32...cxd2 33 Rd1, below, black wins by checking with the white bishop and then with the black one, forcing the king to a3. (He then uses one bishop to protect the d pawn and the other to drive the rook off of d1).

White can also try a swindle with 32 Qf1?! Black wins if he does not take the queen but instead plays 32...Qd3+!

Jan-26-14  morfishine: <Jimfromprovidence> Very nice! I couldn't find any decent continuation for White and your 32...Bd3+ punctuates the whole hopeless position
Jan-26-14  dark.horse: Striking!
I missed the whole ...Qd2 idea.
Jan-27-14  sp12: How does 30...a4 look for white? The idea is that the black bishop is more dangerous than its rook.

If:
31. Bd3 fxe4 etc may have some possibilities for white

if 31. Qd2 axb5 etc.

  al wazir: I started to post a comment. Then I checked and found that I already did, 16 years ago.

With "over 1,024,000 chess games" in the database, why do the same ones keep getting reused?

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Discovered this one by accident almost 16 years ago, this game has since become Sunday puzzles twice, but never Game of the Day until now. Still seems worth the occasional revisit.

Just out of curiosity, how many others have been CG members since at least 16 years ago?

Aug-23-21  GlennOliver: <An Englishman> "Just out of curiosity, how many others have been CG members since at least 16 years ago?"

I joined in the same year as you, 2004, but haven't been remotely as prolific a kibitzer as you.

Primarily I just enjoy playing through games and reading the kibitzing.

  perfidious: <An Englishman>, I have been a member under this name since late 2004, before which I went under the nom de guerre of <depraved>.
Aug-23-21  goodevans: This is a really interesting game. Great to play through but I would strongly recommend doing so with the SF annotations switched off. They're a huge distraction.

We start with it's commentary on the opening which merely tells us of five occasions where players, most of whom I've never heard of, have got wins with different moves. So what! That in itself doesn't make them good moves.

But the real humdinger is <30.fxe4 -1.40 (10 ply)>. That's just utter garbage. Then we finish with its comment on Black's final victorious move, <better is = 0.00>. What the heck is that supposed to mean?

I've really got nothing against Stockfish. It's a pretty useful tool when you understand its foibles and limitations (particularly at 10 ply!). What I object to is that these SF annotations get posted without any sort of editorial sense check. If you can't check them then don't post them.

  Teyss: Brilliant. As posted in the first years notably by the imperishable <al wazir>, White might not have played the best defence but was busted anyhow after 29...Rxe4! All of Black's moves afterwards deserve ! or !! The build-up to that position is interesting too, not sure where White went wrong.

<offramp: Brilliant! Like a jigsaw.>: yes or rather a sliding puzzle.

  Teyss: <goodevans> Yes and some strange stuff happens with the engine too. After 29.Kb1 it gives 29...Bc5 at -2.38 and after 29...Rxe4 the eval drops to -9.04. I don't entirely rely on computers but after trying to work it out myself it's good to check with some machine. (Running times 1 minute, didn't do longer but considering the relatively limited variations it's strange.)
