Jul-24-04 | | iron maiden: While the pun brought a groan to my lips, it was appropriate because I'm leaving for New York early in the morning. 24. Rh7+ is an interesting x-ray tactic leading to inevitable mate. |
|
Jul-24-04 | | suenteus po 147: <iron maiden> Good luck in NYC! You will let us know how you do :) 24...Kxg6 25.Qxh5# is the quick way, or 24...Kg5 25.Bc1+ Re3 26.Bxe3+ Kxg6 27.Qxh5# finishes it off inevitably, just like iron maiden says. |
|
Jul-24-04 | | Zembla: <iron maiden> Try the Chess & Checkers House in Central Park. That's a nice place. |
|
Jul-31-04 | | iron maiden: Thanks Zembla and SP. So far I've been getting destroyed and I haven't even set foot in Central Park yet! |

Mar-24-06 | | Whitehat1963: Clever little puzzle after 21...Qc6. (Player of the Day) |

 | | Phony Benoni: Interesting. I had recently submitted <Kick the Kann Down the Rohde> for Rohde vs R Henley, 1976, which seemed appropriate as well as an interesting game. But apparently a greater mind prevailed in this particular channel. |
|
Oct-23-13 | | PhilFeeley: Kevin's sense of danger failed him here. |
|
Oct-23-13 | | Ian McGarrett: White's got a lot of stuff hanging so 22...Qxg2+ looks like a plausible out but gets mated after 23.Qxg2 Bxg2 24.Rxf7+ Kxh6 25.Bc1+ Bg4 26. Rh7# |

Oct-23-13 | | kevin86: A bad day for Kevin as he became "Rhode kill". |

 | | Penguincw: I like how the pun relates to 2 things: A player's name and the opening. |

Oct-22-19 | | stacase: Took me a while to decide that 24.Rh7+ was the ticket. Uhm well what else was there for White to do? Move the Queen somewhere? Say check 24.Bc1+? At any rate, I don't see the mate after 24.Rh7 but if I were White, I'd be happy to accept Black's resignation (-: |
|
Oct-22-19 | | saturn2: I saw the king chase
24 . Rh7+ Kg5 (Kxg6 25. Qxh5#) 25. Qxh5+ Kf4 26. Rf7+ Ke3 27. Re1+ Kd228. Qe2# |
|
Oct-22-19 | | agb2002: White has two pawns for a bishop and a knight.
Black threatens Rxh3.
The black king is defenseless: 24.Rh7+ Kg5 (24... Kxg6 25.Qxh5#) 25.Bc1+ Rd2(e3) 26.Bxd2(e3)+ Kxg6 27.Qxh5#. |
|
Oct-22-19 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: The first move was of course obvious. For a second move I was deciding between the two h5 checks, and overlooked the game line. Per the engine, they're both mate-in-4, so I don't exactly feel like a puzzle failure. :) |
|
Oct-22-19 | | Walter Glattke: What agb says |
|
Oct-22-19 | | malt: 24.Rh7+ Kg5
(24...K:g6 25.Q:h5# )
25.Bc1+ K:g6 26.Q:h5# |
|
Oct-22-19 | | groog: as malt says |
|
Oct-22-19 | | patzer2: Black's losing move is the not so obvious 18...Bb7?, allowing 19. Ng4! +- (+1.74 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 10). Instead, 18...Na4 19. Bc1 f5 ⩲ (+0.92 @ 35 ply, Stockfish 10) gives Black drawing chances. Earlier, instead of 15...c5 16. c4 = (0.00 @ 37 ply, Stockfish 10), Black could've secured the advantage with 15...Nc5 16. Be2 a5 17. Nf2 a4 ⩱ (-0.57 @ 37 ply, Stockfish 10). |

 | | rodchuck: Spraggett was the victim of "Rohde rage" |
|
Oct-22-19 | | mel gibson: 2 days in a row of beginners puzzles. |
|
Oct-22-19 | | TheaN: This somewhat hidden mate in four <24.Rh7+ Kg5 (Kxg6 25.Qxh5#) 25.Bc1+ R 26.BxR+ Kxg6 27.Qxh5#> makes up for an interesting Tuesday but not the hardest. Not sure whether Spraggett missed the x-ray defense of h5 after Rh7+ or just decided to go for one more shot in a lost position. |
|
Oct-22-19 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: Today answer is easy 24.♖h7+ ♔xg6 25.♕h5#. Looking at <patzer2> saying that 18...Bb7 is an error due to 19.Ng4, I don't disagree at all, however a possible continuation could be: 18...h5 19. ♘e4 ♗b7 20. ♘f6+ ♔g7 21. g4 ♖h8 22. gxh5 gxh5 23. ♔f2 ♔f8 24. ♔e3 ♖d8 25. ♖g1 ♗xf6 26. exf6 ♕c6 27. ♖ad1 ♘d7 28. ♕g3 ♔e8 29. ♕g7 ♕f3+ 30. ♔d2 ♕xf4+ 31. ♔c2 ♖f8 32. ♖ge1 ♕d6 33.♗g6 with a complex position, where seems that white has good chances to win, but black has drawing chances.
