 | | OBIT: <cuendillar> Yeh, 25. Rf2 is what I would play also. It loses the exchange, but in these closed positions you can never be too sure about what the rook is really worth. Having said that, I still think 24. b3 is atrocious, although my earlier suggestion doesn't work: 24. Rd1 Rg5 25. Nf1 Bh3! appears to win. To defend this position, it looks like White has to block the g1-a2 diagonal in some way. If White can do this, my feeling is that Black's pieces on the kingside are only misplaced, and White is in good shape to overrun Black on the queenside. |

(...Yeah! Get in.) |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | chiguire: Well, I am new to the board and just starting to get more serious about chess, so I admitedly did not get it. Is there a reason that black moved Qg5 on move 22 and not directly to Qh5?
It seems that 22. .. Qh5 would have insured a win just a bit faster.
Maybe I am overlooking something. |

| Apr-17-06 | | MorphyMatt: was that a puzzle?? .98899789789097989123985978 seconds! |

| Apr-17-06 | | awfulhangover: My dog, who does not exist, could do better than white's b3 or Nxd6. |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | PhilFeeley: Queen sac week maybe? |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | Srikarvara: you fat head notyetagm. what about Bxf3
|
|
| Apr-17-06 | | Whitehat1963: O.K., so why did white bother with 26. Kxh2??? Come on, even I got this one in about two seconds. Don't you have to write down your move before you play it? I mean, when I've got my king in the corner and someone sacs their queen right in front of my king, the odds are pretty good that the game is over, aren't they? |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | dwbh: <notyetagm>Of course, Black stops your Greco mate cold with 17. Bxf3. Gotta love 60-second bullet games! =P |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | chiguire: unless I am mistaken, you guys are giving <notyetagm> unfounded critisism. Black just moved 17. Bc6 it is white to move, 18. Ng6+!. 17. Bxf3 IS NOT POSSIBLE because he is not set up to do that yet. hxg3 is forced
and Qh3# is mate.
Very well played <notyetagm> and good set up in 60 seconds |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | poachedeggs: Got it in a few seconds as well...there has to be a better move for white than 18 f3 ??? |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | deefree: snore |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | notsodeepthought: <chiguire: unless I am mistaken, you guys are giving <notyetagm> unfounded critisism.> Why? Just because they wanted black to play two moves in a row? What's so <unfounded> about that? By the way, nice game, <notyetagm> |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | YouRang: Heavy artillery aimed at the white king, and the key escape squares g1 and g3 blocked off. So, all that stands in the way of mate is the h2 pawn, which is easily eliminated by the queen. Good Monday puzzle. |

| Apr-17-06 | | WarmasterKron: Silly Easter has messed up my internal clock. I was looking for something complex, because I thought it was Sunday. |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | schnarre: This was a nice & easy one! |

|
| Apr-17-06 | | kevin86: This is pure Monday puzzle stuff:queen sac,mate in two. The trick in today's puzzle is seeing the far away black bishop on a7. 25 ♘xd6: that move scared black as much as Jason was scared by a couch thrown at him in Friday the 13th Part seven.. |

| Apr-17-06 | | jackmandoo: This game is a perfect example of a "Checkmate". The king cannot go anywhere to escape check. This should be a lesson to us all to try and achieve this in our games. I know that sometimes we just move pieces around, not really thinking about it. Try and go for a checkmate on nearly every move.
Or, if things are starting to get too complicated in the game, start moving your pieces back to the origional starting position and insist that the other player do the same, especially if you are bigger and much older than him. This will allow you another try. There are many more examples of ways to beat your opponet in my book called "Beating Your Opponet In Chess, Literally, Like Beating Him If He Starts To Win." By Jackmandoo of course. A major rule I have in my book is to try and play people that are smaller and weaker than you, in the chess community this is fairly easy. If you are not very strong yourself I suggest playing the elderly. This will help ensure victory. |

| Apr-17-06 | | HELLOHELLOWATER: Can anyone read my quote?? Answer |
|
| Apr-17-06 | | jhoro: (this is about the game <notyetagm> posted on page 1) nice combination at the end <notyetagm>. btw on move 12 you had the strong 12.c5+ capturing the dark bishop. you actually played it couple of moves later - better late than never i guess ;) i can't even dream of playing 60-sec control. i was very impressed. |
