| Apr-18-22 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Nimzovich-Larsen was my go-to opening around 1971 or so. The Polish didn't seem to be nearly as well-regarded. Anyhow, fun puzzle. It almost has to be solved backwards. 1. There's no real mate threat.
2. A discovered attack on Black's queen looks like a threat. 3. That only works if Black can't play ... QxQ. I.e., the pawn push should be done with check. 4. The bishop check works to ensure that -- if Black captures. 5. Aha! If he doesn't capture, badness ensues. |

| Apr-18-22 | | Brenin: Please ignore the parenthesis in my posting: the B in <13 Bxe6+> is now off the board. (I need new glasses, or even better a new brain.) |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | stacase: The e5 Pawn's motor is running. How to advance to e6 and discover the attack on Black's Queen? Ha! There's a Bishop that can do the job. |

| Apr-18-22 | | WickedPawn: <chrisowen>, are you ok? Waiting for your post. |

| Apr-18-22 | | landshark: 11.Bf7+
What a cool, sneaky move!
You draw the king up one rank so you can play e6+ with a discovered attack on the black Q.
Or if black declines the B sac by stepping out of check you chomp the N on g6 for free. |

 | | agb2002: White is one pawn down.
The black queen and the rook on h8 are defenseless. Therefore, 11.Bf7+: A) 11... Kxf7 (or 11... Kd7) 12.e6+ and 13.Qxa5 wins. B) 11... Kd(f)8 12.Bxg6 wins a piece. |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | AlicesKnight: White wins a piece by Bf7+ followed by capture of the N, for if ... Kxf7, e6+ wins the Black Q. |

 | | FSR: Slightly more sophisticated than the conclusion of <Sally Simpson>'s game G Chandler vs NN, 1983. |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | goodevans: 9...Qa5 is one of those moves that thinks it's cleverer than it actually is. |

 | | Teyss: After long pondering as a kibitzer says, too long for a Monday, I found it. White wins but I still wouldn't recommend 1.b4 which gives +33% -44% =23% out of approx. 1000 games. |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | TheaN: <11.Bf7+ Kxf7 (else Bxg6 +-) 12.e6+ Bxe6 13.Qxa5 +-> though White still has some work to do, I can understand Black resigned. |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | whiteshark: 11.Bf7+, and that's it. (LPDO-tactics) |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | Andrew Chapman: Why are people saying that Black is up two pawns after Bxg6? I make it one pawn and can't immediately see how he wins a second one. |
|
| Apr-18-22 | | johnnydeep: Kinda tricky for a Monday, but I got it even though it's not a very convincing win for white. But the game move *is* much better than the sirenic 11.exf6, which I explored first! |

Who drew the caricature on Ilivitsky's page? I would like to see more of his/her work. Georgy Ilivitsky. |

| Apr-18-22 | | billbarstool: Took me awhile longer than the usual Monday's puzzle but got got it. What a fun move ! |

| Apr-18-22 | | Brenin: <Andrew Chapman: Why are people saying that Black is up two pawns after Bxg6? I make it one pawn and can't immediately see how he wins a second one.> I thnik you are right. After 11 Bf7+ Kf8 12 Bxg6 Black has one P for the N. He can try to win another back with 12 ... fxe5 but White can hold his advantage with 13 Bxe5, though not 13 Qxe5 Qxe5 14 Bxe5 hxg6 with a slight advantage to Black with his two Bs, and perhaps not the risky-looking 13 Bxh7, e.g. 13 ... Qb5 14 Nf3 Qxb2 15 Nxe5 (threatening Qf7 mate) Be6 16 Ng6+ Ke8 17 Nxh8+ Ke8 18 0-0 Qxa1. |
