  Sneaky: Good one by Suba.

Black might have tried 13. ...Nxc4 to remove the offending bishop before it spelled his doom.

But after 13 ...Bb7? 14. Qxd7 that possibility evaporates. E.g. 14 ...Nxc4? 15. Nxc4 Qb5 16. Qxe7 Qxc4 17. Qxb7 and White is up a whole piece.

  kevin86: There is a little quirk,note how the pawn on g6 blocks the queen from interposition at h6 after the bishop first moves to h4. The problem was VERY easy despite it.

  patzer2: Still catching up on puzzles I missed this week. The Tuesday solution 16. Ng6+ hxg6 17. Qh3+ Bh4 18. Qxh4# seems just about right for easy early week difficulty.

Black's decisive mistake was 14...Bf6? allowing 15. Bxf7+! +- (+5.37 @ 28 ply, Stockfish 9).

Instead, 14...Qd8 15. Bd5 ⩲ (+0.58 @ 40 ply, Stockfish 9) or 14...Qf6 15. Ng4 ⩲ (+0.55 @ 39 ply, Stockfish 9) would have given Black drawing chances.

Earlier, instead of 12...Na5?! 13. Ne5! ± to ⩲ (+0.71 @ 28 ply, Stockfish 9), Black could have kept it level with 12...d6 13. Qd3 Nb4 14. Qb3 a5 15. a3 a4 16. Qd1 a6 = (+0.22 @ 35 ply, Stockfish 9).
