| Oct-29-07 | | Chris Stratford: Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't look first to see whose move it was!?!
I was admonishing myself for not seeing anything better than Nxe6 - which seemingly leads to a positional plus but nothing tactical - when I remembered to look at whose turn it was.
Then the loose Knight and open diagonal to the King screams out the solution. |

| Oct-29-07 | | whiteshark: Monday Monday Monday
The only way to sacrify your ♕ immediately is 5... Qxd4. Unlikely. :D |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | awfulhangover: He he, very easy, but took a half minute to understand what was going on and notice that it is black to move. 4.- Be6 look silly, and white responded like a looney. When two strong players do these things in the opening, one wonders what they were smoking. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | prinsallan: Back from a week in tunisia. Good get back in the saddle with a very easy monday. Got it in less than 5 secs :P |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Operation Mindcrime: Easy one, sort of felt like I was playing Chess Mentor again. But that doesn't prevent me from falling from variations on this - once in a while, that is. :-) |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Creg: I'm so used to the mate type puzzles that it actually took me a minute to realize the knight was hanging...:) |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | unorthodox: I thought first that white had to move. Easy one. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Marmot PFL: Incredible mistake for a GM. Mistakes like this are easily avoided by always looking at all checks and captures before moving. |

 | | kevin86: A normally dangerous movs has become suicidal due to the pawn at e3 blocking the bishop's defense of g5. cg tossed us a knuckleball-we are expecting a sacrifice-instead we have the snapping-shut of a twopenny trap. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | TheaN: 1/1
5....Qa5+ with Qxg5. What a shame for White. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Kleve: Yeah... That's happened to me.
OOPS
OK - Kleve |

 | | patzer2: GM Ivan Farago plays 5. Ng5?? and loses immediatly to today's easy puzzle solution -- the winning double attack 5...Qa5+  . |
|
Oct-29-07
| | patzer2: An interesting alternative to the normal 5. a4 or 5. Nc3 in this line is 5. Nbd2 as in S Ionov vs E Gleizerov, 2004. |

| Oct-29-07 | | SickedChess: how a GM can play 5. Ng5??
- A prearranged game
- He was distracted watching another game
- He arrived quite late and played fast!
- He mispelling lastname rival and annotates Blunder instead of Bliumberg :)
- He was working on miniatures book and need an own example :) |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | MaxxLange: What a terrible game. 4...Be6 can't be good. |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Fezzik: What's this, a Monday puzzle without a Queen sac? :o I guess it's ok, I still get to move the queen! |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | pawnofdoom: This was amazingly easy and took me forever to see. I was looking for the typical monday sac, but it was only move 5, and the only real possible sac was Bh3 which obviously does not give compensation. Then I noticed the simple Qa5+ |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Whack8888: For me I was looking at Nxe6 for a while, and then I decided that was the answer. Then I looked at the game, and to my chagrin, ahh it was Black to move! |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | Chess Carnival: Solution: It is black to play and it doesn't have enough developed pieces to start an attack, so there must be an unprotected piece somewhere.. hmmmm there's a nice little horse enjoying his cellulose right there.. Qa5+!! |
|
| Oct-29-07 | | zb2cr: Well, well. Looks like the fine fellows at <chessgames.com> have taken the complaints of some that Monday puzzles are too predictable (Queen sac and mate in 2) to heart. Instead--a simple little opening trap. I have to confess. I, too, have become so habituated to Monday puzzles being short forced mates that I looked for one for a bit before the solution dawned on me. Around 30 seconds. |
|
| Oct-30-07 | | TheIrateTurk: I must admit I suffered with this puzzle because it is quite different from the usual Monday assortment. One thing I am confused about is that Fritz evaluates the position in White's favour. Any thoughts? |

 | | FSR: Not too many games where a GM loses this fast - as White, even. |
|

| | FSR: White actually scored 50% in three games with 5.Ng5?? Opening Explorer |
