| Sep-26-06 | | YouRang: <jahhaj: Nice, but I think a few people won't get this.> True words. Those of us with "mate attack" blinders on won't get it. :-( |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | Halldor: Easy but most impressive. :-) |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | vibes43: Wow, scary, got this one in less than a minute. Just didn't see any quickie attacks othrwise for Tuesday puzzle. But didn't see 26 .....f5 either. Tomorrow will probably bring me back to reality. |

| Sep-26-06 | | RandomVisitor: Here is a game with "Bogus" playing white:
1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. O-O O-O 5. d4 d5 6. c4 c6 7. cxd5 cxd5 8.
Nc3 Nc6 9. Ne5 e6 1/2-1/2
yawn. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | kevin86: Dare we call the final move Tal-like? White traps a rook with a queen by thrusting her right into the path of said rook! If the rook captures,the queen will be reborn in two short moves. Missed it! Rats!! |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | clausantos: I get it. Maybe because its very easy... |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | cloybloy: found it quite easily. must be my lucky day. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | CoryLetain: What an easy puzzle. I always look for the queen sacs first as a rule. Found Qg7 within seconds. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | Microbe: I think I tried every variation with every move except the winning move...I didn't even consider it!!! urgh... On a more positive note, it's very cute little tactic that works due to the fundamental geometric isolation from other pieces that this particular section of the board has. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | vesivialvy93: ha ha ha ....i was looking for multiple sacrifice with Qf8+ and the possibilities of the rook after N moves ....good lesson of simplicity here !!! |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | alphee: Easy:I do not know, elegant: definitly. I didn't get it. Lateral thinking may be something I miss, quoting <you rang: Those of us with "mate attack" blinders on won't get it.> How true! |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | beenthere240: What's cool about this is that white saw this possibility around move 20 and just making a bee-line for the g7 square. Even if black saw the threat there wasn't much he could do. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | silenthinker: got this one :D one of the few puzzles i solved. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | blakjak: can someone tells me how this wins? because after 24)...Rxg7 28)fxg7 Nh7 it seems to be pretty hard on white since he's down a queen |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | unferth: <blakjak: can someone tells me how this wins? because after 24)...Rxg7 28)fxg7 Nh7 it seems to be pretty hard on white since he's down a queen>
well, 28 ... Nh7 isn't possible, but it doesn't matter. no matter what black's 28th is, white promotes to a queen on the next move. white is up a rook, not down a queen. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | aazqua: Pretty easy, but I guess it is Tuesday. The pawn with the knight is a useful motif to know. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | netlava: I didn't see it. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | micron: In the line given by chessmoron the move number is off by one. I commend to your attention an improvement after Black's 26...h6. After 27. Nf3 White queens next move unless 27... Kf7, in which case 28. Ne5+ does lose the g7 queen candidate but wins the Black Q. In the meantime the pressure on the Black e-pawn does not evaporate, and White has not given up a N for P as in chessmoron's continuation. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | LPeristy: Couldn't get it a few hours ago. I came back to it and got it almost immediately. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | Major Dude: Can't say I saw it right away, but did find it non the less. Love these combinations way more than forced mates. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | olelz: couldn't find the answer... argh. and it is Wednesday here. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | Marmot PFL: < LPeristy > Exactly the same reaction. Either the mind works differently at different times and moods, or subconsciouly it was solving the problem all along. Maybe a little of both. |
|
| Sep-26-06 | | Fezzik: This took me several minutes to see. I had to keep checking to see if it really was Tuesday before I found the "easy" win. This is an elegant position that seems to cry out for an attack on the e-file. Finding the real winner was a nice challenge! |
|
| Sep-27-06 | | patzer2: White's 23. Qh6! "forces" Black to defend with 23...Nf8, enabling him to create the decisive double attack threat of capturing the Rook or the coronation of a passed pawn. |
