| Mar-06-13 | | stacase: Threatening mate is nearly always a good move. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | gofer: Unfortunately, the <Crafty EGT> website throw out this POTD every couple of weeks. So its not difficult when you have seen it before many times... |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | morfishine: Black wins a piece with <14...Qc6 15.f3 Qb5> *I did a little research; Here, Fischer beats Rivera, a future US Armed Forces Champion (1964) Fischer actually lost the following game in a simul to another future US Armed Forces Champion: Fischer vs C Powell, 1964 (Powell had quite impressive chess credentials being a 7-time Virginia champion) |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | whiteshark: Like a hot knife through butter. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Patriot: I would play 14...Nxb3, getting rid of the bishop pair. 15.Qxb3 Qc6 16.f3 Ng4 17.Re1. Or perhaps 14...Rad8 or 14...Qc6 15.d5 so probably 14...Nxb3 is better. 14...c4 15.Ba4 or 15...Bc2. I'm not seeing much here. I would play 14...Nxb3. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Patriot: Ah ok...a skewer. I didn't see that at all. |

| Mar-06-13 | | pedro123: Fischer knew how to win material. This type of trick was routine for him. All those years of blitz chess. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | mistreaver: Wednsday.Black to play. Medium/Easy.14.?
After looking at the position for some 10 minutes, i see no better idea then to play:
14... Qc6
I tried looking at bishop sacrifice, but i don't see anything real there, say:
14...Bxg2
15 Kxg2 Qc6+
16 Kg1 and i don't see how black could continue here.
Back to the main line:
15 f3 (the only move to ward of mate, e4 would simply leave a pawn, or subject to the same continuation as in the game)
15... Qb5
and one of the bishops must go.
It took me longer to find it because i was focused on long diagonal and sacrifices on white kingside. Nice example
of playing over the whole board.
3/3 |

| Mar-06-13 | | Mojodomo: <morfishine>'s pointing to Fischer vs C Powell, 1964 is fantastic-- a blitz style game that would usually have spelled victory for Fischer. Nice find! Also: if you have a certain 4 star general in mind, this is not the Powell you're looking for... |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | snakebyt: I was looking for a decisive mate and plotted to Bishop and Queen that white King to death. I missed the easy access of the back door to the Vatican. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | MountainMatt: It's Bobby Fischer week! This took a long time for me to see (goes without saying) - at first I thought it must be, MUST be 14...Bxg2, but that really didn't seem to go anywhere. Moving on, I eventually worked out that after 14...Qc6, which must be met with 15. f3, 15...Qb5 will win a bishop. Phew! |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | kevin86: First black threatens mate on the king side,then he pins bishop to bishop. Then he takes the back bishop. An attack that begins on KN7 ends on QN7! |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Marmot PFL: Should have bee easy, but it took about 5 minutes. I was looking for something more spectacular, this being a Fischer game. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | amateur05: Completely missed it! Very difficult for me today. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | patzer2: Fischer's 14...Qc6 uses a mate threat to effectively allow his Queen to make two consecutive moves ("bouncing" from c6 to b5). After 14...Qc6 15. f3 Qb5  the Queen's skewer attack on the two Bishops wins a piece. This simple two-move combination uses at least four tactical themes (by my count). The mate threat 14...Qc6 gains a tempo to reposition the Queen. I don't know if any books on tactics have a name for this maneuver, but <Once>'s comment about <bouncing the queen off a Queen threat instead of a check> gives me the idea of calling it the "Bouncing Queen" tactic. I suppose one could also call it a "Dancing Queen" but the pop group ABBA might object that it's infringing on their most famous song's copyright. After the "Bouncing Queen" forcing maneuver 14...Qc6! 15. f3 Qb5 , three more tactical themes are in play: 1. "Overloading of Pieces" is involved as the Queen and the Knight attack the light-squared Bishop on b3 with two pieces, which is only protected by one piece. 2. "Pin" tactic is involved as the light Bishop cannot move to avoid the attack of the Queen and Knight without exposing the unprotected dark-squared Bishop on b2 to attack. 3. "Skewer" tactic is involved as the move 15...Qb5 simultaneously attacks both the underprotected Bishop on b3 and the unprotected Bishop on b2 on the same file. P.S.: Typically in a skewer tactic the piece first under attack is more valuable than the piece behind it. In this case, the more active White squared Bishop barely meets that definition as reflected in the move 16. Ba4 to save it just before resignation after 16...Qxb2 . |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | M.Hassan: "Medium/Easy"
Black to play 14....?
Equal materials
14...........Qc6 threatening mate on g2
15.f3 Qb5 attacking b3 square that is defended by White Queen only but there are two attackers to that square: 16.Ba4 Qxb2
Balck falls ahead by one piece |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Jambow: Ok I was in the where is the mate mindset, pretty straightforward when looking for material advantage after mate threat. |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Compound Error: <morfishine>Is that the retired 4 star General, Colin Powell? |
|
| Mar-06-13 | | Compound Error: Before you answer, I now see that <Mojodomo> has preempted my question. I wish sometimes all the pages appear chronologically in one scrolling page! |
|
| Mar-07-13 | | morfishine: <Compound Error> No, this was Charles Powell What I did was look up Rivera. I found he was active in the US Armed Forces Championship; Then I looked up the History of the US Armed Forces Championship because I wanted to compare when this game was played and when Rivera won that Championship; It was here that I found the Powell Game and then found it was in the <CG> database. Pretty cool, huh? |
|
| Nov-21-15 | | bobbyperez: I think 13.Bc2 is better. |
|
| Jul-11-16 | | zanzibar: Photo from the game the moment before Rivera resigns... http://www.lecavalier.lu/Olympiade-... (mis-labeled as Siegen-1970 in the filename, but correctly identified in the caption here: http://www.lecavalier.lu/History.htm
About ~1/2-way down.) |
|
| Oct-15-16 | | whiteshark: Here's a game-related Fischer photo from the final position: http://www.lecavalier.lu/Olympiade-... |
|
| Mar-23-22 | | Mathematicar: 14... Qc6 is rather obvious, but I struggled to find the right solution, probabbly because it is another move with the same piece. |
