29 Bc2 also work, just as well. But it will lose the bishop none the less, because of the "inbetween" check Qa1+ 29 Bc2 ..Qa1+ (also stops white from mating with Rh8)
30 Kh2 ..Rxc2.
White should still win easely though.
31 Qf4+ ..K moves
32 Rf7+ ..K moves or Q sacs it self on g7, to stop the white threats. The white queen is on the way to seven rank, where it will mate with the rook, unless black gives up his queen :) |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | The beginner: <Jahhaj>
In your line
31 f4 and white is winning |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | jahhaj: <The beginner, Steppenwolf> Yes, apologies. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | jacknor: How does white win if 26...KxR instead of ...fg |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | sitzkrieg: I think Bc2 'd win pretty easy. Probably also Qg3. After Bc2 i only don't see a forced win after f5 but with a board it should be easy i think. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | jahhaj: 27.Bc2+ f5 28.Rxf5 Rxf5 29.Bxf5+ wins pretty quickly. Black is getting mated. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | jahhaj: 27.♕g3+ ♔h7 28.♖f5 also wins. That's what I saw when I first looked at the puzzle. It's not as efficient as the line above though. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: I got it! |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | sitzkrieg: Congrats! |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | Blitz4265: The losing move was 31...Qb3 |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | dac1990: I'm going to try to analyze it all:
25.Re6! Qc5

26 ...Kh7 27.Qxh5#]
27.Rxf8 Qxc3

|
| Sep-04-05 | | John Doe: How about 29. Rg8? It threatens mate in one, and if the queen tries to aid the king, Rh8 does the monarch in. I also looked and 29. Bc2 but that fails to the intermezzo 29...Qa1+ 30.Kh2 Rxc2 Although, I think white can still win after that fiasco with Rg8 |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | The beginner: <John Doe>
29 Rg8 ? ..Qf6 and black apears to be ok |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | John Doe: Foiled again... |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | patzer2: <Dac1990> Thanks for the thorough job of analysis with Fritz 8 in looking at 25. Re6! You did a good job of organizing and sorting out the strongest winning lines. Although Fritz 8 rates your line slightly stronger, for the possibility 26...Kxg6!? I prefer: 26... Kxg6!? 27. Qg3+! Kh6 (27... Kh7 28. Bc2+ f5 29. Rxf5 Rxf5 30. Bxf5+ Kh8 31. Qe5+ Kg8 32. Be6+ Kh7 33. Qf5+ Kg7 34. Qf7+ Kh6 35. Qf8+! Kg6 36. Bf5#) 28. Qg5+ Kh7 29. Qxh5+ Kg7 30. Rg4+ Kf6 31. Qg5#. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | LIFE Master AJ: I thought Re6! looked decisive.
Here is my analysis, (of the critical part of the game):
25.Re6! Qc5; This could be forced.
[ </= 25...fxe6? 26.Rxf8 Rc8 27.Qf7+ Kh6 28.Bc2 e5 29.Rxc8 Nxc8 30.g4! , Mate in 8?] 26.Rxg6+!!, Chess brilliance.
[One student suggested: 26.Re3, which is not convincing. ("=") ] 26...fxg6[]; This is forced, moving the BK allows a mate in one. [ </= 26...Kxg6?; 27.Bc2+!, I was looking at Qg3+ when I was analyzing in my head, the box finds a way that is significantly better.
( Or 27.Qg3+ Kh7; 28.Rf5, )
27...f5[]; 28.Rxf5, (Mate shortly?) ]
27.Rxf8 Qxc3; 28.Qf7+! Kh6; 29.Qf4+ Kg7; 30.Rf7+ Kg8; 31.d6! Qxb3?,
As I thought, this is a mistake; Fritz confirms that Black had to check on the c1-square. 32.Rf8+, Black resigns, 1-0.
[ After 32...Kh7; 33.Qe5!, a disaster cannot be averted. (Taking the Rook with 33.PxR/c7 probably also wins.) 32...Kg7?; allows 33.dxe7, with mate to follow. ] |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | patzer2: <The beginner> Although 29. Qf4+! is objectively better, Black is not OK after 29. Rg8!? Qf6 30. Rxg6+! Qxg6 31. Qf4+! Kh7 32. Qxc7 Qb1+ 33. Kh2 Qxb3 34. Qxe7+ Kg8 35. Qe8+ Kg7 36. Qe5+ Kf8 37. Qb8+ Kf7 38. Qxb7+ Kf8 39. d6 Qb4 40. Qe7+ Kg8 41. Qe8+ Kg7 42. Qe5+ Kg8 43. d7 Nxd7 44. Qd5+ Kf8 45. Qxd7 Qxh4+ 46. Kg1 Qg5 47. g3 h4 48. Qc8+ Ke7 49. Qb7+ Kd8 50. Qb6+ Ke7 51. Qe3+ Qxe3 52. fxe3 (+5.62 @ 22 depth per Fritz 8). |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | Boomie: The line I followed was 20. ♖e6 ♕d7 because then the black Q helps restrain the attack. Anyway it is sans Fritz so presented with my apologies. The continuation was:
20. ♖e6 ♕d7 21. ♖xg6+ ♔xg6 22. ♗c2+ ♔h6
(22...♔g7 23. ♕g3+ ♔h8 24. ♖f5)
23 ♖f5

| Sep-04-05 | | kevin86: I'll take credit for this one-i answered both the first move as well as the second.The queen was chased and the white queen and rook are lined up for the attack-even as the other rook is sac-ed. |
|
| Sep-04-05 | | alexandrovm: Re6 seems strong! |
|

 | | Richard Taylor: I saw most of this up to 27. ...Q:c3 but I thought that White could win by 28. Qf7+ Kh6 29. Rg8 and if now 29. ... Qd3 30. Rh8#
But I see now I missed 29. ...Qf6
But I would have seen it when I got to that postion and played Qf4+!! Smyslov as played some briliant complex lines and attacks - he is an all rounder. |
|
| Sep-06-05 | | LIFE Master AJ: <RT> By that, I take it to mean that Smyslov - in his prime - could play tactics and positional chess. (He is famous for his endings.) |
|
| Jul-05-12 | | Everett: Is there anything wrong with 21..Nc8, aiming for Nd6? The idea is that it controls f7, creates a blockade on the d-pawn, and puts the N in contact with f5, in case interfering on the f-file is necessary. |
|
| Mar-28-20 | | Cobax12: Beautiful 20.-Re6! |
|

 | | HeMateMe: that d pawn was a liberated snake. |
