 | | thegoodanarchist: <FSR: How does this even qualify as a puzzle? You play the obvious check and you force mate.> "Mate in x" (in this case, 5) has always been considered a legitimate puzzle. For beginners, that is. The father of the Polgar sisters even published a humongously thick book filled (mostly) with "checkmate in 1, 2 and 3" puzzles. |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | Brenin: <corneliussulla: Q to F8 also wins>: Yes, but only if White wants some practice at P endgames, as <Teyss> pointed out. If he feels that his R endgame technique needs polishing he can win with 31 Qxg6 hxg6 32 Bxc6 bxc6 33 Rxc7. |

I can thoroughly recommend it for training one's tactical skills. And arm strength too. |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | TheaN: Guess I don't have to jump the wagon "puzzle where". Think CG messed something up here, thinking <31.Rf8+> is a tactical shot, whilst it really isn't <31....Rxf8 (Qxf8 32.Qf6#) 32.Qxf8+ Qg8 33.Qxg8#>. |

 | | Louben: The only puzzle is: where is the puzzle? |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | Counterpoint: 30... Qg6?? was a blunder.
Instead, Black should have played the more orthodox 30... Bxd5. What's white's answer?
31 Rxc7 Rxa2 ...
Black is ahead. |

 | | Teyss: <Counterpoint> 30... Bxd5 31.Qf6+ and mate. Black is lost, actually was lost for quite some time. <Mississaugan> Beats me too. But then he has an avatar so is a paying member, hence can do almost anything. Apart from criticising puns of course, nobody is allowed that. |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | AlicesKnight: 31. Rf8+ wins in 3 moves. Qf8+ looks clever but is much slower and relies on 'winning a won game', which is not so easy. |

|
| Apr-05-22 | | Stanco: 31.Rf8 wins in two moves because after 31...Qg8 white mates with 32.Qf6# |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | whiteshark: <31.Rf8+>, and that's it. aka https://www.ende-gelaende.org/en/ |

| Apr-05-22 | | sakredkow: <I wonder why chessgames.com does allow this posts.> Speaking strictly for myself I enjoy a little bit of chaos now and then, and I kind of like seeing <chrisowen> when he strikes again. I don't see a big downside here. Maybe he's a nut, maybe he's a genius or something in between. It's a mystery and I like not knowing now and then. |

 | | perfidious: I practise passive iggydumb with him; no need to waste a spot when there are others who deserve such a fate far more than he. |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | Hercdon: <counterpoint>Actually Bxd5 leads to mate-in-2: 31.Qf6+ Qg7.Qxg7# |
|

 | | FSR: <thegoodanarchist> OK, but this would be very easy even for a Monday puzzle. No way it's a Tuesday puzzle. |
|

 | | gawain: New level: Exceedingly Easy.
Still it is possible to go wrong. One might foolishly try to show off with 31 Qf8+ |
|
| Apr-05-22 | | Brenin: <gawain: New level: Exceedingly Easy.
Still it is possible to go wrong. One might foolishly try to show off with 31 Qf8+> 31 Qf8+ still wins (see posts by <Teyss> and myself above). It just takes longer. |
