Jan-14-20  Delboy: Nice early-week puzzle position after 21. ... Rae8. The back row mate theme comes into play on both sides of the board here
Dec-29-20  nalinw: First today .... but completely missed this one ... the theme is not difficult but clearly a blind spot for me ....
Dec-29-20  Walter Glattke: Irresistable attack
Dec-29-20  drollere: defang the doubled rooks, and unblock the clear file.

22. Qxe5 Rxe5, 23. Ne7+ Rxe7, 24. Rd8+ Re8, 25. Rxe8#

  al wazir: Easier than yesterday's, because there is only one way to win:

22. Qxe5 Rxe5 23. Ne7+ Rxe7 (23...Kf8/Kh8 24. Rd8#) 24. Rd8+ Re8 25. Rxe8#.

Dec-29-20  Walter Glattke: 22.-Kf8 23.Qd6+ Kg8 24.Ne7+ Kf8! 25.Ng6++ Kg8 26.Qe7 Qxg2+ 27.Kxg2 hxg6 28.Qf7+ mate next

  agb2002: Black threatens Re1+ and mate next.

The rook on e8 is overburdened with the defense of Black's first rank and the other rook. Therefore, 22.Qxe5 Rxe5 (22... Qb8 drops a rook) 23.Ne7+ Rxe7 (else 24.Rd8#) 24.Rd8+ Re8 25.Rxe8#.

Dec-29-20  saturn2: Black threatens backrank mate.
 22. Qxe5 (now white does it) Rxe5 23. Ne7+ Kf8 (or Rxe7 ) 24. Rd8
Dec-29-20  Brenin: A classic back rank mate threat meant that the R on e5 was effectively unprotected. Black needed to give up the exchange with 21 ... Rxd5 in order to survive.
Dec-29-20  AlicesKnight: Qxe5 answers the questions, winning a R or mating after ....Rxe5; Ne7+ etc. A very sharp tactical display before the finish.
Dec-29-20  malt: 22.Q:e5 Qb8
(22...R:e5 23.Ne7+ R:e7 24.Rd8+ Re8 25.R:e8# )

23.Qf5 Rf8 24.Rd4 Ne6 25.Ne7+ Kh8 26.Q:h7+
...K:h7 27.Rh4#

Dec-29-20  Walter Glattke: Malt: Or 23.-g6 24.Qf6 Qe8 25.Rc8 Nd7 26.Ne7+ Qxe7 27.Qxe7 Rxc8 28.Qxd7 - so 22.-Qb8 is a really nice idea!

Dec-29-20  thegoodanarchist: Easier than yesterday's Monday puzzle.
Dec-29-20  Damenlaeuferbauer: After long thinking, the Hungarian GM Lajos Seres finally found the nice queen sacrifice 22.Qxe5!,Rxe5 23.Ne7+,Rxe7 (23.-,Kf8 24.Rd8#) 24.Rd8+,Re8 25.Rxe8#.

  catlover: As Rev. Spooner would say, the combination ends in a rack bank mate.

  gawain: Black threatens a back rank mate of his own, so White has no time to waste. Fortunately (for him) he has an irresistible combination.

  eternaloptimist: This is an “easy” puzzle indeed. In fact it’s easier than yesterday’s puzzle IMHO
Dec-29-20  Cheapo by the Dozen: I rarely struggle as much with a Monday/Tuesday pair of puzzles as I did this week. That's even though Ne7+ is one of the first ideas one has, and it doesn't do anything useful as interference, and it pretty obviously unblocks the file.
