| Jan-04-05 | | Dave Murray: I got this one :)! |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Gowe: Easy puzzle, very poor play by white. Probably 7.gxf4 was the move that gave black the victory. Harju played very bad the king's gambit. I think 6. 0-0 would be much better than g3.
14.Bg5! was The move. Good for liimatta |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Gowe: I think that the trick that we all use to resolve monday, tuesday... thursday puzzles is just watching the most incredible sacrifice and then how you can use it. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | CFC rating: I see that after 17... Ng4+ 18.Kg2 Ne3+ 19.Kf2 Nxd1 20.Ke1 White wins the black Knight and I think that the game is far from over. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | weirdoid: <CFC rating> I have never played correspondence chess, but I think after 20 ... Nxb2, it is perhaps a tad unrealistic to expect black to blunder enough not to win from pawn+exchange up in a correspondence chess, although admittedly I used to play on from worse position / material (im)balance than that in rapid chess where errors were/are more common. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | blunderqueenagain: <CFC rating> After 20. Ke1, black plays 20 ... Ne3 and the knight escapes, so black is still up a rook. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | chesslearning: <blunderqueenagain> 20. Ke1 Ne3 21. Bxe3 |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | jkiipli: after 20. Ke1, besides 20...Nxb2 black may play 20...Nxd4 |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | erikcu: <CFC rating> I saw the same line; I wonder what Crafty sees as the advantage of black at that point. It looks as if white' king is a little more exposed than black's, but I know I could still lose the game as black... However I am a total patzer. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | maxundmoritz: 20...Nxd4 and White can't take back with the Knight on e2 because of 21...Rxg1. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | cade: 17... Ng4+ 18.Kg2 Ne3+ 19.Kf2 Nxd1 20.Ke1 Nxd4 21.Kxd1 Nxe2 22.Kxe2 Rxg1 If 21.Nxd4 then Rxg1+ |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | MindlessOne: wow, that was easy, im always on the alert of queen sacs. Ive noticed that some of the most beautiful games ive seen have been in the kings gambit |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | vangogh228: One thing is for sure here... Do NOT play the King's Gambit unless you know what you are doing. You cannot 'think' your way through it and expect to win. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | shortsight: <cade> if i'm not mistaken, after 21. ... Nxe2, white can relpy by 21. Nxe2 without losing the knight at g1 to the rook at g8. but still, white is material down anyway. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | ArturoRivera: easy puzzule, i saw it right away |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Novice713: After 18. Kg2 Ne3+, it's clear that Black is going to capture the queen. What happens if 18. Kg3. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Skylark: Kg3 Ne3+ still works because of the g8-rook.
I got it; an easy win of a rook. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Novice713: <Skylark> oh yes, of course |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | erimiro1: Nice and easy, and a very sad end to the King's Gambit. I still hope, that one day someone will find the way to refresh that classical openning, like Bronstein and Spassky did during the 50's and the 60's. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Willem Wallekers: <a very sad end to the King's Gambit>
Not if white plays 6. 0-0 in stead of 6.g3 |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | Ed Caruthers: Why not 13...Qxh2+ winning the exchange a few moves earlier? Were there chances to win more if White went wrong between the 13th & 17th moves? |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | beenthere240: 16 Rxd2 isn't any better for white, since after 16...Qh4+ the R has to return to h2 and the sac is back in place. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | cuendillar: <Ed Caruthers> It has been tried before where white eventually managed to win. Obviously black should have won that one too, but the line played was obviously better. Spassky vs Portisch, 1967 |

 | | mahmoudkubba: I do'nt understand why the white resigned so early?? any news on that?? |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | themindset: because he is down a rook. |
