| Nov-09-10 | | howlwolf: I think after 11 . . .Qc7 12. Nb3 is white's best attempt to hold the position; the idea is to institute wholesale exchanges on c5 followed by Kd2 to keep the black rook out. I suspect black's best response is 12. ... Nfe4 and he still seems to have some pull though white retains drawing chances. |

 | | scormus: <Once> Brilliant!! The best yet. Reading it is my reward for doing the puzzle. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | kevin86: Easy---White is given a Hobson's choice:
He can either-capture the knight with the queen to get her out of danger,but would face a back row mate. Or-abandon the lady.
Either way,he's lost. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | patzer2: For today's Tuesday puzzle solution, 12...Nd3+! uses the discovered attack with check tactical shot to create a decisive dual threat -- a back rank mate or loss of the Queen. If 13 Qxd3, then 13...Qc1+ 14 Rxc1 Rxc1# is a quick back rank mate. If 13. exd3 or 13. Kd1, then 13...Qxc2  snares the Queen with mate to soon follow. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | jackpawn: It's funny how the mind works. I found this one immediately. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | randomsac: After Nd3+ white must either give up the queen or succumb to a back rank mate. A great move to uncover the battery of pieces waiting on the open c-file. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | Naugh: <Once>
That is epic. And yeah, Nd3+ was obvious. I looked for a knight fork and instead found the double attack. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | dzechiel: <Jedzz: <dzechiel>, great commentary as always, but in your third line, 13. ... Qxc2# is checkmate. The white king moved off e1 for a reason, you see.> Right you are! Interestingly enough, when I read some of the commentary previous to my entry, I saw where <Nullifdian> also had 13...Qxc2# as mate, but I thought HE had overlooked the king's retreat to e1. I'll put this down to a very mild case of amaurosis scacchistica. |

| Nov-09-10 | | patzer2: <Once> As a married man, you've learned the lady of the house is always right when it comes to an argument. In this case, <"If you hadn't gone to d4, we wouldn't be in this mess," retorted the queen.> is the comment that points out the decisive error (i.e. 12. Bd4??) Instead, 12. Nb3  to = would have allowed White near even chances. P.S.: Of course this sounds more like the folks at the bottom blaming each other because the guy in charge won't take responsibility for directing all their bad moves. |

| Nov-09-10 | | BOSTER: Because yesterday game was more instructive and more interesting than today miniature, I want to make one move back (from your permission) and show this diagram.

This is the position in game Van Wely vs Hansen after 37...Rb2. White to play. They are in the deep defense.
Rook on g1 can not move, bishop e3 and queen have to protect f2 pawn against the mate. It would be nice if somebody could steal e5 pawn, white could play Qb8+ and Qf4,...but.
In real game white played 38.a5 (this is too optimistic) and <Domdaniel> found the improvement for black, who played 38...Kh7.
<Instead, however, black could have played 38...Be4- the same blocking mechanism actually used in the game a few moves on. This wins>.
But we are not in a hurry,and still in position on move 38, and because black plan is too easy to see,white should not play a5,but play 38.Qd4,attacking the rook on b2.
If 38...Rxb3 39.Qf4, if 38...Rb1 39.Qxd5 Qxd5 40.Rxb1 with draw. |

 | | Once: horific? |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | Prelate: <Once> ought to make a collection of his posts and produce a book :) |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | Arknard: Nice problem. Once I saw that it was black's turn to move, the problem was labelled 'easy', and your aware their is a decisive combination, I found it quickly (not always the case in an actual game!). Even GM's have been known to overlook simple combinations against strong opponents. |
|
| Nov-09-10 | | WhiteRook48: 12...Nd3+ 4 seconds. Had this been an actual game I probably would miss it.
what was up with 12 Bd4??? |

 | | al wazir: After 10. Bxc5 (or 11. Bxc5), white has an OK game. |

| Nov-30-19 | | ndg2: Embarrassing, if you are an IM and fall in such a trap |

| Nov-30-19 | | Ilkka Salonen: I feel that the pun also commemorates the people known as hippies Who were these people? It is hard to define exactly, but I can tell you that cointelpro and mkultra and things like that were giving people a really rough time. And, now I feel a bit bad about inciting the CIA to violence against everyday americans, because, I must face the reality, that it can be exploited to evil means. |
|
| Dec-01-19 | | areknames: I don't like the Be3-Nbd2 setup but other than that White's position is still reasonable until the losing blunder. As has been pointed out 12.Nb3 is quite playable, after which it's not easy to see any significant advantage for Black. |
