Jan-07-06 | | patzer2: <aerohacedor> Good try! You are correct that after 23...Be6 24. Nxf7+ Qxf7 25. Qe5+ leads to a quick mate. However, Black can put up more resistance with 23...Be6 24. Nxf7+ Bxf7 25. Qxe7 Bg6: click for larger view How does White (26. ?) force a winning pin from here? |
|
Jan-07-06 | | supermanprime: I need help with this game.
I keep seeing the move 24... Be6 as black's savior...what's wrong with me? Apparently I need to be shown because I'm not going to sit here and struggle with this anymore. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | kevin86: An elegant series of sacs drive black's king into the open-the final,quiet queen sac decides it. Black is lost:After 23...♕xe2 24♘xf7# or 23...♕f8 24 ♘xf7+ ♕xf7 25 ♕e5+ and mate soonest---a keen reversal of the theme! |
|
Jan-07-06 | | supermanprime: Sorry, I meant 23... Be6 |
|
Jan-07-06 | | kevin86: <supermanpride>23...♗e6 succumbs to 24 ♘xf7+ ♕xf7 25 ♕e5+ amd mate next---or 24...♗xf7 25 ♕xe7 puts white up a queen for a rook. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | supermanprime: Thanks...I kept missing something there. I'm half with it today or something. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | TalEl: Beautiful puzzle, Qe2 is the sting in the tail! |
|
Jan-07-06 | | guidomiguel: <patzer2> 26. h4 wins the bishop since attempts to move it results in mate. If 26.h4 Re8 threatening the queen, then 27.Qf6+ Kg8 28.h5. Now 28...Rf8 loses to another check 29.Qe6+, and the bishop cannot move because of the pin, White will win the bishop next move. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | Chopin: I managed to only solve the first 2 moves, but couldn't figure out the rest of the continuation. Qe2 is a beauty! Great game. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | MrSpock: Wow, what a beauty :-))) |
|
Jan-08-06 | | patzer2: <guidomiguel> From my last puzzle position, the computer solution is 26. Qf6+! Kg8 27. h4 Rf8 28. Qe6+ Kh8 29. Qe5+ Kg8 30. h5 winning the pinned Bishop.However, your 26. h4! solution wins just as effectively. For example, after 26. h4! Rg8 27. Qf6+ Rg7 28. h5! Black's game is lost as the threat of mate pins and wins the threatened Bishop. |
|
Jan-10-06 | | alexandrovm: a great queen sac! incredible! |
|
Apr-05-06 | | pwrstick: Wouldn't 23... Be6 simply result in an immediate 24. Qe5+ Qf6 25. Qxf6#? Why the run around with the horsie? |
|
Apr-06-09 | | WhiteRook48: 23...Qf6 24 Qe5!!
<24...Qxe5 25 Nxf7#>
<24...Qg7 25 Qxg7#>
<24...Be6 25 Qxf6#>
anything else, 25. Nxf7#
brilliant! |
|
Oct-01-10 | | sevenseaman: 23. Qe2, a Greek gift if ever there was one. If Black sees through and plays ... 23. Qf8 or Be6, there is some elongation but White prevails via, 24. Nxf7 + QXN(BxN is nothing) 25. Qe5+ and mate soon.( see DWIN comment of 06). |
|
Oct-01-10 | | sevenseaman: A brilliancy, sheer eclat from Krasenkow. The Trojan horse is unrefusable (or irrefutable). It is disheartening to note that recognition accorded to this masterpiece is more than just a little light. |
|
Apr-02-11 | | tacticalmonster: 1) Black has a bad c8 bishop and his queenside is undeveloped 2) The f5 knight is guarding the g7 and h6 square
3) White has pressure on both g7 and h6 square: WQ d2-h6-g7, WN h6+ and WR d1-g1 and g2-g7 4) Black is threatening the d4 pawn and Nh4 disrupting White's piece cordination candidate: 19 Bxf5
19...exf5 20 Nh6+ Kh8 21 Rxg7! Kxg7 22 Rg1+ Kh8 23 Qe2! Be6 24 Nxf7+! Bxf7 25 Qxe7 Bg6 26 h4! Rf8 27 Qe5+ Kg8 28 h5 Rae8 29 Qf4 Re4 30 Qh6 White has a queen for a rook |

Oct-26-11 | | lemaire90: Very nice game ! |
|
Nov-04-11 | | sevenseaman: If 23...Qxe2 24. Nxf7#. If 23...Qf6 24. Qe5 forces the issue with the N+. If 23...Qf8 24. Qe5+ f6 25. Rg8+ Qxg8 26. Qxf6+ Qg7 27. Qxd8+ Qf8 or Qg8 and 28. Qxf8 (or Qxg8) mates next. |
|
Nov-14-15 | | thickhead: If 23... Qxe2 or Qf6 or Qf8 or Be6 reply is same. 24.Nxf7+ Only for 23... Re8 24.Qxe7 Rxe7 25.Rg8#
23... Be6 24.Qe5+ is met by 24... f6 |

 | | fredthebear: If the Queen offer was accepted in the final position, the game would continue 23...QxQe2 24.Nxf7#, an example of Mongredien's Knight Mate.

 | | al wazir: After 23...Be6, there follows 24. Nxf7+ Bxf7 25. Qxe7 Bg6 26. Qxb7 Rdc8. White has ♕+♙+♙ vs. ♖+♗. It's not over, but it's not worth continuing. |

 | | beatgiant: <al wazir> After 23...Be6 24. Nxf7+ Bxf7 25. Qxe7 Bg6, White has <26. Qf6+> Kg8 27. h4 and it really does look over. |
